Tim Burton as you know remakes movies, and in my opinion I think his version is the best, but that is just my opinion. Others might say ‘Classic is better’but that is just because they do not understand how and why Tim Burton does things in his movies. Such as Alice in Wonderland comapred to Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass. Even though they should not compare since Through the Looking Glass was the second book, not the original, they were completely different. Like the first one is when Alice was a 9 year old little girl, her first time in Wonderland. While in the second one is when Alice comes back as 18 year old not remembering anything since she grew up and does not use her imagination any longer. But at the end Alice has to save her Wonderland dream by beating the dragon that Queen made her face with.

Another movie he remaked, that everybody was arguing about the pros and cons in this movie, was Willy Wonka and the Chocoalate Factory with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In this movie we had two different side of the stories, the first one was all about Willy Wonka and how he became what he is today, while the remake was about Charlie, the little boy who won at the end of the game. This movie showed Charlie's background, how he was raised in a family that was poor with his father being layed off around in the 1940s, and how he was a sweet son that helped taking care of his family including the two sets of grandparents that were very ill.

With other people strong opinion about Tim Burton it then affected others when they see his movies, since everybody in this world are followers. Like if someone said that a movie is a scary, then the person they told is not gonna go see the movie because they do not wanna be scared, even though everybody thinks differently and they might be scared of different things than others.

This is why I do not influence others in my decisions, even if what the critics say that its a rated 'B' movie, because everybody has a different opinion in what they see.
