why be it good . because it true to the dark vision of the comic . because the imagery be inventive and and unlike the first and there be real moment of fear and pathos in this one . the first one have too much of jack nicholson shtick and too much prince music and and an awkward romance . here and instead of one villain and there be three . no robert wuhl and and the lead lady be more than just a pretty face . in fact and pfeiffer be the # 1 attraction of this film . her transformation be what drive the running theme and teeter on the edge of sanity and insanity and good and evil . she become truly fearsome . the costume and makeup be excellent . danny devito penguin be inspire and anguish and not just a nut . his circus gang posse be the one element of comic relief ( besides that giant duck ) . max shrek be the only character i would have tone down and walken be pretty hammy a the ruthless businessman . danny elfman score be a perfect fit a usual and and the siouxie and the banshee song ( face to face ) be easily the best of any of the song from any of the film and a perfect match of musical artist and film soundtrack . the least campy of the film and it be macabre and doesn not pander and and demand second and third viewing like an amusement park ride . bravo tim burton and cast .
