To be honest, I'm not a very big fan of Guillermo Del Taco's movies. They're good, and there was a point where I liked them, but now they just don't really click.

I've come to accept Del Gato as a purely visual director, like Zack Snyder. They both make beautiful films, but suck horse balls at writing original material. Del Guapo less so (Hellboy 2 had far more heart than SuckerPunch), and he
does excel when he writes in the context of his native culture and in his native language. I'm pretty sure we already discussed Del Cholo's shortcomings in detail in the last "I have just seen" thread.
I'm really glad he didn't end up doing The Hobbit. The inconsistency in character direction and design would have really put me off my waffles.
I do appreciate his vehement loyalty to traditional special fx. However, I see nothing but CG in the Pacific Rim trailer. Shame.

Sekto Springs would probably want me to point out that Tim Burton only turned up for work twice while they were making that film.

You know me too well~
It's funny. Henry Selick's interpretation of Burton's style actually translated better than when Burton does it himself directly. Somehow, Henry Selick made that movie more "Burton" than I think even Burton could have. This contrast is evident in the stop-motion films he actually
did direct (Corpse Bride, Frankenweenie) which come off more streamlined and sterile.
