Tim Burton movies

Mars attacks¡

“Mars attacks¡” was the eight Burton film on Hollywood, was made in 1996; this is a science fiction movie with a touch of comedy, all his movies gives them their special style, with a dark and a bit of black humor.

The movie is about an alien invasion, the president of the United States wants a peaceful relationship but the mars ignore attempts by President and attack the planet using laser guns; in this movie the aliens play with the historic monuments, the Big Ben, the Eiffel tower, the Taj Mahal, the Mount Rushmore etc…

The production of the film began in 1996; Jonathan Gems and Tim Burton wrote the script this was a long wait because the Warner Bros changed the writers in several times.

The cast is a bomb¡ first we have Jack Nicholson (The Shining 1980), Pierce Brosnan (Golden eye 1995), Danny DeVito (Batman returns 1992) and a great cast.

The filming start date was mid-August 1995 but was delayed until February 26, 1996.

“Mars attacks” is a spoof of the science fiction movies of the 60´s and again the United States of America are the defenders of the planet of deadly enemies.

We have the corrupt politician, an angry general U.S. Army, the desperate mother and the sons, a journalist, a reporter and a long list of characters.

Not an excellent movie but is a fun movie with the Tim Burton Style, also this movie is a critical of the U.S. political status and the unity of the nation.

The film follows several characters, with no apparent connection between them but with a common purpose: stay alive and kill mars; the most fun characters are the aliens because they have a fun personality, they laugh at everything and their language is very original.

There are so absurd and comical scenes; this is a great movie to have a god time no more. The special effects are very decent for that year the animation was created by “Industrial Light & Magic” these animations are so credible also in some parts the errors of the effects are very notorious but this is the idea, the spoof of the poor effects of the past films.

In conclusion this is a movie for entertainment and live a moment of laughter no more; I recommend this movie for people who like science fiction and comedy together

The Vampire Hunter; a Tim Burton´s movie

The man is still one of the most visually unique directors working today, and while he serves strictly as producer on ABRAHAM LINCOLN, he was one of the very first to be intrigued by Seth Grahame-Smith's book (he was in contact with the author before the novel was even completed) and became a key participant in its journey to the big screen.   

 Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, discovers vampires are planning to take over the United States. He makes it his mission to eliminate them.how to represent the afflictions of the main character was a special touch that arguably is the tim burton special touch that gives your movies as well as the film absorbs us into a whole new worldStarting in his younger years, Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) is devastated when his beloved mother is murdered by vampires, whom are inextricably linked to the brutal Southern slave trade. Under the tutelage of the mysterious Henry Sturges (Dominic Cooper), he becomes a vampire hunter. Seeking a menial job in a nearby town and hunting down vampires selected by Sturges, he eventually gets the attention of Adam (Rufus Sewell), a senior vampire and collaborator with slave owners.

Lincoln's fight also spreads to the world of politics, getting him into the White House, but looming large is a war not only for equality, but for the future of mankind. As with every film from the 'Daywatch' and 'Wanted' director, the action comes thick, fast and elegantly choregraphed.

What no one can avoid, however, is that at the heart of this film is a concept that is completely bonkers. The whole thing feels like a joke from start to finish, and any engaging elements are soon undermined when you remember it's Abraham Lincoln chopping off heads of vampires, particularly in the film's railroad climax.

That said, if you tune reality out very early on it is a big slice of creepy, CGI-filled fun. The performance may not be terribly accurate, but Walker impresses by remaining sincere throughout. There's no wink or nod in any of his scenes, as the actor plays a very straight interpretation of the 16th President of the United States.You may not invest in this film's crazy set up, but he clearly has.

Elsewhere, Mary Elizabeth Winstead is charismatic but largely unused as Mary Todd, while Rufus Sewell is now an old hand at the whole bad guy thing, and hits all the appropriate marks with just enough menace.

If you threw a Lincoln biography in a blender with an episode of 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer', chances are the result may be something like this. Not as cool or clever as the trailer suggests, but fun in a ridiculous sort of way.

is definiately dazzling creativity of tim burton abstracts us in the movie and a new perspective to relate to the history of it besides the unique touch that gives every detail in the story that gives a change in the perspective of the same film.
