Summary
sure execution mysteries and dark fantasy movies probably would have been much expert if they had been direct byTim Burtonwhen the person who did direct is plainly attempt to fascinate some of Burton ’s theme song esthetic . As I sham it is for many people , I bit by bit became familiar with Burton ’s repertoire during my youth through look out film likeEdward ScissorhandsandCorpse Bride . In my case , the experience was also twine with going on the Haunted Mansion drive at Disneyland when it was coif up asThe Nightmare Before Christmas .
Like everybody else , I became a violent fan ofBurton ’s best movies , including and particularly the one follow the ungratified King of Halloween ( although this movie was conceptualize by Burton but directed by Henry Selick ) . Meanwhile , other movies were released that attempted to impart some of Burton ’s sweetly macabre tonicity — and some bring home the bacon , such asCoraline . Others clearly needed the valet de chambre who create the esthetic behind the camera . On the other hand , some adventure movies felt completely generic to me and might have benefited from Burton ’s jot to turn them into something more interesting .
Tim Burton has one of the most typical styles of any major Hollywood film maker , and these picture are often err as part of his filmography .

8Roald Dahl’s The Witches (2020)
Directed By Robert Zemeckis
Roald Dahl ’s The Witchesis the impregnable example I ’ve seen of late of something that is endeavor to be a Tim Burton flick and flunk . Being released in 2020,The Witchesrelies upon CGI for some of the bizarre thing described in Roald Dahl ’s leger , with some moments land firmly in the uncanny valley . The Good Book was previously adapted in 1990 into a movie more reliant on practical effects ; additionally,2020’sThe Witchesmakes some change from the novel , proving that the film producer were well-fixed make change and could have tweak some things for them to look better on screen .
All the garish monsters and legerdemain makeThe Witchesfeel more cartoonish than unsettling and bittersweet , which is what it is supposed to be .
All the tacky monsters and magic makeThe Witchesfeel more cartoonish than unsettling and bittersweet , which is what it is guess to be . It is a story about witches defeat children and the main child role being sentenced to life as a mouse . As strange as hisCharlie and the Chocolate Factoryis , Burton still manages to capture a slimly disturbing , psychedelic storythat end with the kind child protagonist living happily , despite the dark still present in his animation . Directed by Burton , The Witchescould have been a creepy , nostalgic mix of computer and practical essence .
The Witches is a reimagined adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic novel, helmed by Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future), and tells the darkly comedic but heartwarming tale of a young orphaned boy who goes to live with his loving Grandmother. The two soon begin to run into devious and calculating witches, prompting her to take him away to a resort. However, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world’s Grand High Witch has gathered her fellow witches from around the globe—undercover—to carry out her nefarious plans.
7The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
Directed By Marc Webb
As a major Andrew Garfield fan , I did n’t take as much issue with his version of Spider - Man as some hoi polloi did , and was deplorable to see him go when Tom Holland step into the part . I have a better understanding now of whatThe Amazing Spider - Mandidn’t get right about the master character , andI think Burton would have make a Peter Parker who was more of a nerdy outsider . Burton ’s experience as a superhero managing director should n’t be taken for granted ; his iconic additions to the DC canon are among thebestBatmanmovies .
view Burton ’s take on a different superhero — a Marvel Heron and its most illustrious one — would have been enthralling , even if the MCU would likely eventually have gotten the right wing to the reference anyway . wanderer - Man has some creepy , revulsion - contiguous Nemesis that play right into Burton ’s wheelhouse , and he could have made the fighting sequences with the Lizard ( and maybe the Green Goblin in the sequel ) even better . The Amazing Spider - Manisn’t necessarily a bad movie , it ’s just not a big adaptation ; Burton peradventure still could have directed Garfield in a version truer to the comics .
In Andrew Garfield ’s first film as the iconic Marvel superhero , Peter Parker gains his powers and his alter ego as Spider - Man . Meanwhile , the Lizard is a rise terror , and Spider - Man must utilize his newfound abilities to save the day .

6The Hobbit (2012)
Directed By Peter Jackson
I wholeheartedly consider thatGuillermo del Toro should have directedThe Hobbit ; his plans for a two - part adaptation instead of a three - parter would have been much better for the relatively curt write up , while his characteristic vision of a dark fantasy world would have made the movies satisfyingly different enough fromThe Lord of the Rings . However , Burton also would have been a good choice to directfor similar narrative and esthetic reasons . He excel with standalone , tight fantasy narratives — if Warner Bros. had agreed to a myopic tarradiddle — and specializes in unequalled monsters and legerdemain .
Burton’sThe Hobbitwould have been a little bit creepy and more like a poof narrative , rather than a second , poorerLord of the Ringstrilogy . Under his direction , the scene with Smaug in particular would have been terrify . Peter Jackson succeeded with creatures like Gollum and Shelob because of his revulsion experience ; let another director to infuseThe Hobbitwith his expertness would have been beneficial . However , Burton ’s experience of how to twist sprite tarradiddle would only have worked forThe Hobbitif Warner Bros. were n’t determined to run out the vision of another fantasy epic .
As Bilbo Baggins keep his 111th birthday , he recounts the extraordinary journeying that change his life . head by the enigmatic wizard Gandalf , Bilbo fall in a striation of Dwarves on a perilous pursuance to reform their homeland from the dreaded tartar , Smaug . Along the way , they confront punic foe , unearth long - bury arcanum , and unwrap unexpected courage within themselves . With peril lurking at every turn , Bilbo ’s dangerous undertaking unfolds in a tale of friendly relationship , ritual killing , and the brave out power of hope .
In Andrew Garfield’s first film as the iconic Marvel superhero, Peter Parker gains his powers and his alter ego as Spider-Man. Meanwhile, the Lizard is a growing threat, and Spider-Man must use his newfound abilities to save the day.
5Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)
Directed By Joachim Rønning & Espen Sandberg
Among the moving picture it has been suggested Burton should take isPirates of the Caribbean , suggest that he should have send a past installation or should channelise a succeeding continuation . This is largely because Johnny Depp is one of Burton ’s most famous collaborators andpeople need to see Burton take a shot at Depp ’s fully grown dealership , specially when that franchise has been struggling for so long . Few would gainsay that Gore Verbinski was the right music director for the first pic ; the 2d is seemly , while the third fill in the trilogy that sure belong to him .
sea robber of the Caribbean : Dead man secernate No Talesis the point where the enfranchisement could have benefited from Burton ’s direction . Jack Sparrow ’s graphic symbol was in diminution and could have used some aid from someone with a different position on Depp ’s natural endowment , while the overall story needed a new director to rock things up . Burton also have it off how to work with the concept of ghosts and the undead . Burton’sPirates of the Caribbeanwould have been something entirely different from the repose of the enfranchisement , but this would have been for the good .
The fifth instalment in the Pirates of the Caribbean dealership , Dead Men Tell No Tales follow vernal Henry Turner as he enlists Captain Jack Sparrow to unfreeze his Church Father , Will Turner , from the curse binding him to the Flying Dutchman . Their pursuit puts them in the route of ghostly pirate ship - hunter Captain Salazar , with whom Sparrow has a storied past . To save his old friend , Sparrow must face his own past tense to reunite Will with his long - misplace Logos .

Tim Burton is bed for his coloured , mediaeval visuals , and there are several pic that vision would be a consummate equal for after Beetlejuice 2 .
4Enola Holmes (2020)
Directed By Harry Bradbeer
Burton is one of the quintessential directors for murder ( or wanting person ) mysteries — I am invite to remember that he should have been ask withKnives Out , but I think I can safely say that the dealership is in good hands with Rian Johnson as its creator and unconstipated manager . Meanwhile , Millie Bobby Brown is set herself up for a substantial post - Stranger Thingscareer with theEnola Holmesmovies . The first two episode have been well received as the history of a young distaff investigator whose escapade overlap with the early movement for charwoman ’s suffrage .
However , — and maybe it ’s just me — I foundEnola Homesto be lacking — just a tad . The movies utilize a quirky break - the - fourth - wall approach , while I guess some of Burton ’s spooky accents would have emphasized the severity of Enola ’s cases . Enola Holmes 3is not confirmed , and neither is director Harry Bradbeer ’s return , so it could still happen . Brown should definitely work with Burton at some full point , and Helena Bonham Carter is also a regular partner in crime of his ( they have worked together since their divorce ) .
Adapted from the first book in Nancy Springer ’s The Enola Holmes Mysteries series , Enola Holmes travel along the titular heroine , the younger sister of noted London detective Sherlock Holmes , as she seek to solve the disappearance of her mother and unwittingly gets drawn into a mystery that could menace all of Great Britain . Millie Bobbie Brown stars as Enola , with a mould that include Henry Cavill , Sam Claflin , and Helena Bonham Carter .

Their quest puts them in the path of ghostly pirate-hunter Captain Salazar, with whom Sparrow has a storied past. To save his old friend, Sparrow must confront his own past to reunite Will with his long-lost son.
3Oz The Great And Powerful (2013)
Directed By Sam Raimi
Oz the Great and Powerfulis sadly nowhere near as impactful of a tarradiddle asWicked , despite being based upon a dissimilar perspective of the same narrative . Great and Powerfulwould have been much respectable if character like Oz and Glinda were n’t as amicable , while the loathsome witches were n’t just square villains . It could have been a much more complex taradiddle with hints that none of them are all in the right wing with the lie they recite to Oz to preserve power and order , which is whatWickeddoes .
I do n’t recognise if Burton ’s focusing would have result in a different narrative forGreat and Powerful , or the same one with some slimly spookier versions of sure scenes and character . However , I am inclined to conceive that it would more often than not have been a more interesting movie . Some of his semisweet conclusion suggest he would n’t have been completely put to everything working out perfectly for the Wizard in the end , include his romance with Glinda .
All three of the enchantress ' characters needed to be further evolve , and I care to retrieve Burton could have suck the figure of speech of Mrs. Lovett fromSweeney Todd , Emily fromCorpse Bride , or the tangible - life - inspired Margaret Keane inBig Eyesto make this happen . While I conceive that Mila Kunis was a unspoilt cast , some of Burton ’s regulars might have ended up in lead character ; Winona Ryder in peculiar would have made an intriguing and less formal version of Glinda . Overall , Great and Powerfulturned out very savorless and more unequalled charge would have made all the departure .
Oz the Great and Powerful follows Oscar Diggs , a circus illusionist and con creative person , who is enthrall from Kansas to the secret Land of Oz . There , the inhabitants believe he is the prophesied wizard destined to free them from malign forces .
2Any Harry Potter Movie
Directed By Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuarón, Mike Newell, & David Yates
Burton seems like an obvious choice to direct aHarry Pottermovie , especially one of the single base on the first three novels , which are all spooky , relatively down in the mouth - stake and self - contain stories . Yet he has channelise no movies in the enfranchisement to date ; as far as I know , he was never in the track to direct any of them . WithFantastic Beasts’future in flux density and David Yates as the music director sinceHarry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix , the betting odds of this perfect peer ever happening are slender ( but peradventure he could get involved with the reboot ) .
With so much magic , monsters , and delightfully twisting set piece imply , Burton and Harry Potter should have been a give .
The first twoHarry Pottermovies ' more whimsical quality overlap with Burton ’s approach;Chris Columbus started the enfranchisement substantial , while Alfonso Cuarón brought more stylization toPrisoner of Azkaban . let Burton take a turn withChamber of Secretscould have ferment out when it is often called theworstHarry Potterbook — but maybe Burton ’s magic would have improve it . With so much wizard , monsters , and delightfully twisty set pieces ask , Burton andHarry Pottershould have been a gift .

J.K. Rowling ’s enfranchisement about a certain boy champion is beyond popular . But a few famous filmmaker declined the fortune to aim a Harry Potter movie .
1Maleficent (2014)
Directed By Robert Stromberg
When I first saw the trailers forMaleficent , I was genuinely terrified . I think the whole movie would be about embracing one of the most pleasurably evil baddie in Disney ’s lineup , never know when she would hit , with Angelina Jolie ’s magnificent evil laughter institutionalize chills down my spine . However , as it has often been pointed out , Maleficentmade the error of turning Maleficent into a fighter . The movie would have been empty with no backstory apologise her villainy ; however , she is not really chilling at all , being dead tolerant to Aurora whenever they interact .
Burton has been know to target pic where the villain is the star fibre ; where the booster is decidedly an anti - hero , who does selfish thing but is still human and relatable . Burton’sMaleficentwould have actually been scarey , allowing her to be a marvellous scoundrel , which only makes her role more powerful in the story and in the material Earth . Maleficentin picky is a picture that left me foiled , which is why it is one that I certainly wish Burton had direct .
A springy - legal action reimagining of the fairytale of slumber Beauty , Maleficent stick to the nominal fagot hag ( Angelina Jolie ) in a grim phantasy origin story . After fall in sexual love with a human being , Maleficent is lead astray when he steal her wings . swear revenge , she curses his infant daughter , Princess Aurora , lead to a retelling of the beloved fairytale from an alternate perspective .
