Johnny Depp playing the most important male role in a Tim Burton movie....
My god.... who could of seen that coming!
Has there been a Tim Burton movie that Johnny Depp wasn't in?

I know your question is rhetorical, but Burton's masterpeice - Big Fish.
I can't say that I really take issue with it as long as they're quality films. And most of them were (Namely Ed Wood, Edward Scissor Hands, and Sweeney Todd).

Actually it wasn't rhetorical. I didn't know if there was one... outside the newest one... but he might even have a voice in that.
Nor do i take issue to it. I agree all those movies you mentioned were good. Only Tim Burton movie i haven't liked was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory... and even that I think would of stood up well on it's own...
It's just that Gene Wilder completly owned that role to the point of where he IS Willy Wonka and nobody is going to top that. Even by taking it in a totally different route you can't escape Wilder.

Ah, my mistake.
Other movies without Johnny Depp: Planet of the Apes (Burton's weakest, in my opinion), Mars Attacks!, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, Batman, Batman Returns, Nightmare Before Christmas as well as his short films - Frankenweenie and Vincent.
I'm with you on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory... I enjoyed it, but Gene Wilder just simply is Willy Wonka.

Mars attacks... yikes. I'd call that the weakest.
|
It's a love/hate thing. Mars Attacks! came out shortly after Ed Wood and was sort of a play on the main character of that film. It's intention wasn't to be a good film, just a modern iteration of those terrible 1950's Sci-Fi movies. I thought it did well at what it intended to do... Planet of the Apes, not so much.
