inspiring, wacky, and infused with Burton's unique romanticism suffused with, but not subsumed by, a gothic sensibility

Burton brings his quirky take on x-mas to the screen ... a film that kids can watch but might find scary and confusing with the x-mas/halloween "mash up". Good movie.
- Currently 5/5 Stars.

Ah...when Burton was being original...the good old days. Sadly now he just seems to reuse the same visual style with all his work. Although it will always look good to a brand new audience that has never sampled of Tim's work. 'A'

A Halloween Christmas classic and well worth checking out however the 3D didn't really add much besides extra cost to the ticket which is why I give only 4/5

The 3d was very good and it held my attention for about a half a hour.After this I forgot about the 3D effect and unfortunately starting watching the movie.I didnt like the plot and found it really boring.With very little good humour in it.Poor...
