Consider Finding Neverland, Fear and Loathing, Dead Man, Blow, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, etc., to name just a few.

He's landed quite a few lucrative roles, and his first outing as Jack Sparrow was unlike anything he'd done before, so I don't know that your complaint works overall.

However, much of his work with the the chronically overpraised "director" Tim Burton is indeed repetitive, outside of Ed Wood. Wonka is close to the bottom of the barrel, along with Dark Shadows.

Late to the party here, but I couldn't resist chiming in
