Frankenweenie
A really annoying case of missed potential. For the first 2/3 of the movie, it's pretty interesting and pays good attention to character and all sorts of clever details. Then it turns into a standard, frantic "the monsters are loose!" scenario and ends with a bit of cloying, Spielbergian pandering that really undercuts the themes of the movie. Blah. Tim Burton, why you gotta be so disappointing these days?
