Every Tim Burton Movie, Ranked
If you didn't know Tim Burton's new movie Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children was based on a best-selling novel, you may have guessed it was written just for this director. Burton has made a career of celebrating outsiders, of both the living and undead varieties, in live-action and animated form.
In honor of Burton's 18th feature as a director, let's look back at his previous 17 efforts, which are ranked by Metascores from (relative) worst to (arguable) best.
Burton was still something of a Hollywood newcomer and barely 30 when he was tasked with making the first serious, if darkly funny, superhero movie since Richard Donner's Superman. His 1989 success revolutionized a genre.
“The most memorable aspect of Batman is the film's attention to florid detail. At times, Burton's strange touches upstage the simple good-vs.-evil parable.” —Ryan Murphy, Miami Herald
