Corpse Bride (2005)

Overrated and overhyped

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Marvelous! Brilliant animation. Hilarious, sad, happy - a montage of emotion wrapped in animation. 'The Corpse Bride' is my all-time favorite animated film. I just love the premise and the execution thereof. I loved the musical element, and the depiction of the word of the dead as colorful and vibrant, while the world of the living was grey and somber. Absolutely fantastic!! Best viewed on Blu Ray.

The Corpse Bride is a cartoon by Tim Burton. And that is very unusual cartoon. It contains death theme and love story and use puppet animation. You may think that this film isn't good for child, but it isn't so. And cartoons are not only for children but for adult people too.This cartoon is made in 2005. It was directed and produced by Tim Burton. The plot was written by John August and other talented people. The music, which was written by Danny Elfman, contributes to the atmosphere of this film. If you watch it on English, you will hear Jonny Depp as Victor, Helena Bonham Carter as Victoria and Emily Watson as Emily.Story shows time of conflict between the bourgeoisie and the nobility. We see two families from these layers of society that want to marry their children for themselves wants. But the hero, one of them, which is called Victor, accidentally become married the dead woman, which name is Emily. It sounds strange but interesting.Setting can be understood only by adult people. But sometimes film is too childish. I really don't understand, which auditory the film aims at. What I didn't understand were Victor's actions. Every time, when he had a problem, he ran away. But only once he decided to do something important. Either he chose what he wants or writers made error in his personality. But it's not so bad on the background of many good elements of the film.First of all, other characters were well drawn. I understand their actions. Also, you dive in the cartoon very deep and you can't get out: it has gripping plot, beautiful puppet animation and background music. I should say, is The Corpse Bride good or bad, but I don't know it. It is not awful and not perfect. But I think everybody would like this cartoon after watching.

I do like this movie better than Nightmare Before Christmas. Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors and him as a voice actor is amazing!! I love the songs and the story in this movie. The animation is great and I love the dark and grittiness to it. The chemistry between him and the other characters are great and you really feel like they're having fun and that they love what there doing.

it is admirable. because it represents a lovely remember of the small things who define the life. because it is a love story who has, in the perspective of Tim Burton, fascinating nuances. a simple story about an insignificant error, its consequences and the new arrangement of life. a pledge for kindness and the thin border between worlds. all in the skin of refined romanticism, gray, cold and seductive. the idea is not exactly new but this represents one of the basic virtues of the film. because, at the first sigh, all seems predictable. but the delicate art to use the expected sides of story is the most important thing. so, a simple story. and a lovely animation , for the songs, characters and humor. and, sure, for the story.
