A film made back when Tim Burton was still brilliant. He's lately gone very much downhill as I have expressed before.
But this was when he was on top form and I am inclined to say that this film is better than brilliant. It is just so fantastically a B movie that there is nothing I can fault it on. Wait. Actually yes, I can fault it on one thing - it has Tom Jones it. That's not too cool, but aside from that this film is great. I love the design of the flying saucers.
I really don't know how to describe or explain this film so I'll just leave it at that This film is great fun with not one, but two great performances from jack Nicholson. Watch this film.
