...Burton a long time ago that his days were over. Probably after his “Planet of the Apes” remake, which was, astonishingly, worse than “Gigli.” But with Johnny Depp, a popular Roald Dahl property, and hordes of pseudo-hipster NYU students who love Burton’s “dark, brooding sensibility” and the “amazing production design of ‘Batman,’” it’s no surprise that “Charlie” made...
