Even though I am a fan, I kind of agree... he pulls his style from really good expressionist films like Cabinet of Dr.Kaligary and Nosferatu(1922). He also borrows from Edward Gorey, and I don't think he'd be as popular if he didn't have Danny Elfman, even though they did't work together on Ed Wood. Still like him anyway, though...
