Tim Burton's Corpse Bride

Pros: Funny, engaging, great music and characters, very good DVD extras...

Cons: ... a bit predictable, would have liked it to be longer...

The Bottom Line: It didn't seem to work for everyone, but I found The Corpse Bride to be one of 2005's most enjoyable films.

Review: Tim Burton has long established himself as one of the most innovative creative forces in Hollywood, and in The Corpse Bride this shines through more than ever. It’s a stop-motion production and the puppets and sets are fantastic. In one of ...

Pros: artistic, amusing secondary characters, voice cast - especially Depp

Cons: pretty short, songs not as memorable as in Nightmare Before Christmas

The Bottom Line: A must for Burton fans, but I'd recommend anybody checking it out.

Review: Tim Burton is a most unconventional director. His movies are skewed and stylized – and superb. Last year was a big year for him. While I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as soon as it hit theaters, I did not get the chance to experience ...

Pros: Stunning animation; terrific script, voices, and music

Cons: Too macabre for some tastes--but that's Tim Burton for you

The Bottom Line: Death, where is thy sting?

Review: It’s a (typical) paradox in Gothic director Tim Burton’s career that it took a meticulously timed stop-motion animation film to loosen him up. But after many years in which it seemed that Burton got lost in the woods of his own lugubrious style, Tim ...

Pros: Everything, but the animation takes top honors

Cons: Absolutely none

The Bottom Line: Tim Burton's best. And I mean it too!

Review: Whatever one may think of Tim Burton's films, or of Burton himself (a good shampoo and directions on how to use a comb may be of some help), there's no denying his creativity. Not all of his films have captured large audiences, nor me for that matter, ...

Pros: animation, tone, and atmosphere

Cons: not the most catchy songs

The Bottom Line: A delightful movie in keeping with Tim Burton's works

Review: Corpse Bride is a wonderful movie. Like many other Tim Burton fans I can’t help but compare it to Nightmare Before Christmas. This is because they are both stop-motion fairy-tales involving ghouls and ghosts. How can you not compare them? My ...

Pros: Funny, Sad, and Everything in between!!

Cons: Not quite the story you would have expected from the trailers.

The Bottom Line: I want to recommend this movie to all! Like I mentioned, it has something for everyone. The hard work making the animation paid off!

Review: Tim Burton never fails to let me down whenever I get to see his movies. Tim Burton always does such a wonderful job with his movies, and he puts so much into making the movie. I have to admit though, when the movie was over, I found it to be a bit ...

Pros: Wizard of Oz-esque greatness.

Cons: Many people won't appreciate it until it's been rerun on TV for 30 years.

The Bottom Line: The best movie I've seen in a long time - you probably won't like it...

Review: Reading the views of some of my fellow epinionated movie goers, it's hard to imagine their expectations walking into Corpse Bride. Lack of character development? Poorly designed plot? It's an animated movie about a dude marrying a dead chick for ...

Pros: A great world full of wonders that spark the imagination.

Cons: No groom for poor Emily.

The Bottom Line: A great movie with catchy music that is sure to delight.

Review: A very familiar voice turns up in this Tim Burton animated film that is done in the same way as The Nightmare Before Christmas. Johnny Depp is the voice of Victor who is to marry Victoria played by Emily Watson. Johnny of course has a slew of things he's ...

Pros: Great story, interesting characters, catchy music

Cons: May be too deep for children under 8.

The Bottom Line: Watch this movie. It is a definite must see and will quickly become a favorite for all ages.

Review: I am a huge fan of Tim Burton, and with award winning classics like Edward Scissor-Hands and Nightmare Before Christmas to his acclaim, it's no wonder that he is such a popular artist. His unique talent for transforming the macabre into a lovable and ...

Pros: great story and characters.

Cons: too short , movie should be longer, explain more.

Review: I quite enjoyed seeing it in the theatre, so much so, that I purchased it as soon as it came out on DVD. The storyline is easy to follow, from Victor being nervous about being married to a girl he's never met, to Emily (the corpse bride) just feeling ...
