Who else but Tim Burton could make
Corpse Bride, a necrophiliac's delight that's fun for the whole family? Returning to the richly imaginative realm of stop-motion animation (after previous successes with
The Nightmare Before Christmas and
James and the Giant Peach), Burton, with codirector Mike Johnson, invites us to visit the dour, ashen, and drearily Victorian mansions of the living, where young Victor Van Dort (voiced by Johnny Depp) is bequeathed to wed the lovely Victoria (Emily Watson). But the wedding rehearsal goes sour and, in the kind of Goth-eerie forest that only exists in Burton-land, Victor suddenly finds himself accidentally married to the Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter), a blue-tinted, half-skeletal beauty (how pleasantly full-bosomed she remains!) with a loquacious maggot installed behind one prone-to-popping eyeball. This being a Burton creation, the underworld of the dead is a lively and colorful place indeed, and Danny Elfman's songs and score make it even livelier, presenting Victor with quite a dilemma: Should he return above-ground to Victoria, or remain devoted to his corpse bride? At a brisk 76 minutes, Burton's graveyard whimsy (loosely based on a 19th century Russian folktale) never wears out its welcome, and the voice casting (which includes Tracey Ullman and Albert Finney) is superbly matched the film's gloriously amusing character design, guaranteed to yield a wealth of gruesome toys and action figures for many Halloweens to come.

| I ordered this movie as I had been dying to see it again. Saved $10 just from bying it through . I got it so fast, wasn't expecting it for a few weeks. Watched it as soon as i got it, and it was amazing, just as I had remembered. So much better on blu-ray too! Thank you! |
| Enjoyable, but not memorable | 2010-06-17 | 3 / 5 |
|
| This was an enjoyable movie with amazing special effects. Unfortunately, the story and music does not captivate like "A Nightmare Before Christmas" did. The movie was just not memorable in any way. |

| If your like Tim Burton's work you will add this movie to your Burton collection. Great musical, great performance by Johnny Depp. He's so versatile you can't even tell it's him unless you know it's him. The characters are enchanting, particularly Victoria (to me anyway). The humorous details and a moving storyline keep the whole experience well balanced. Loved it!! Very Burtonesque: very dark, if you will. |
| Love this movie but wish it was longer..... | 2010-05-12 | 5 / 5 |

| When you wish a movie was longer, that's when you know it's that good. I guess that's also part of the con. I thought the movie could use some more movie time:-( |
