Of his films I've seen, I'd rate them fairly similarly, including (especially) putting Batman Returns above Batman. Personally I'd put anything regarding Pee Wee Herman in the quadruple F - grade.
Am I just not noticing or have you not seen The Nightmare Before Christmas? That's a pretty good one I hated as a child but appreciated as an adult.
I have a soft spot for Mars Attacks!

I remember watching Alice in Wonderland and Frankenweenie but I need to rewatch them to give them a fair shake.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is so strange that I can't help but like it, but I completely understand why people hate it.

Not technically directed by him, though I assume it is a Poltergeist type situation. C+

This is when he started to grasp at straws a bit trying to make his performances unique, but it mostly works for me in this case. Alice in Wonderland is a different story. He is a bit more tolerable in Alice Through the Looking Glass. If you want to see Johnny Depp back to form in a serious realistic performance you should watch City of Lies (2018). It is one of his very few genuinely good performances from the past 10 years. Alice in Wonderland is when his career started to decline and he started phoning it in.

Man was robbed of a nomination for Black Mass, easily his best performance in over a decade.

He is very good in it, but there are at least 10 performances I like better that year.

He was better for me when I was younger where as today there is not a single movie of his I like. so his movies are anywhere from boring to average (i.e. 2-5/10).
p.s. I have seen about 10-12 of his movies.

I used to love Tim Burton, but I can't stand him nowadays. This guy is on auto pilot since Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

The only one I’d have significantly different is Big Fish. I really liked Big Fish.
