Corpse Bride

A big time "Meh" of a movie. Sure it's pretty but there's just nothing to it. In fact, the animation looks so good it's almost detrimental -- this movie doesn't feel like it was hand-made in the slightest, which to me is a big part of the charm of stop-motion. I want to see thumb prints, etc. It's passable, but an empty experience. Either Danny Elfman has just forgotten how to write songs or I'm misremembering Nightmare Before Christmas and he never really knew to begin with.

Semi-fun, semi-cute movie that looks fantastic but doesn't have the emotional impact it's going for. The forgettable songs don't help, either. Still, it's an OK Halloween movie for kids if they've already watched The Nightmare Before Christmas and Monster Squad.

was drunk while watching, WAS TOO DAMN HOT.

Compared to Burton's other stop motion movie, A Nightmare Before Christmas, this just sucks. It looks fine, but the music isn't great, the songs are annoying and not memorable at all, and the story is weak. There are a few good scenes, and the ending is decent, but overall its not very good.

Visually majestic, it's almost as if they made it just for another line of t-shirts at the Hot Topic. Because they sure didn't make it for the story or characters.
