It's been a long list of Tim Burton movies at my place. It's no secret by now that I love him.
First thing to strike one about the film is afterlife is the place to be. The living don't seem to enjoy life in this movie. It's the dead. Why would Victor come to the world of living? It'd be a great life if Victoria were to make it to the other side!
In particular I can think of two scenes involving the 'corpse bride' which were great. One when she is introduced, it is scary and immediately she is like a girl who needs love. Then the one in Victoria's room which is again scary and then she is upset once is back on the other side. I have seen scenes where they make you laugh and cry but here they the scenes scare you and then move you. It was a different experience for me.
In an era where we see computer generated flicks it is nice to see something that is like this, stop-motion type.
Finally, this is different. Animated films tend to be very colorful and cheerful. This is dark. Almost like it was made for adults. I am sure kids will be scared at some points in the film.
RATING: 3/5
