Calling this Tim Burton's best film in years tells you how bad he must have been doing for a while. This is a tediuous discount X-Men meets Brigadoon. Unlike the X-Men, you never come to care for the wayward misfits or get any understanding of their found family. Apparently "preculiar" children are just whisked away from society to live for ever as children in time loops; seperated from anything else – and these are the good guys? Samuel Jackson does the same character from King's Men, but now with a fright wig and fake teeth.
