Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Blistering performances.
Continuing my plan to watch every Johnny Depp movie in order, I come to The Corpse Bride.Depp reteamed with Tim Burton for a fifth time when he agreed to do the voice world alongside Helen Bonham Carter. Both characters look like the actors. It's not the dark horror piece you imagine based on the trailer. Its a sweet and charming movie about lost love. That's not to say it's not without its moments.I always see this as a companion piece to Nightmare Before Christmas, so if you like that, yiu will enjoy thisThe Corpse Bride grossex $53 million at the domestic box office to end 2005 as the 51st highest grossing movie of the year.
The film Corpse Bride was shot in the USA and Great Britain in 2005. The Directors were Mike Johnson and Tim Burton, and the producers were Tim Burton and Allison Abbate. John August, Caroline Thompson, Pamela Petter wrote a script. Danny Elfman composed the music.This film tells the story of a young man Victor, who was supposed to marry Lady Victoria, and happened to be near the grave of the bride Emily and put a ring on her ring finger. Once in the world of the dead, Victor first tries to return, but after learning that Victoria is getting married, he decides to marry the dead.When I watched this movie, I did not enjoy it. For me, as a bearer of Russian culture, it seemed too gloomy and, moreover, too trivial. A girl, who wants a wending with a beloved, who kills her; a young man, who occasional happened to be nearby and gave her hope... I think everyone knows such a story. The only thing that endows the film with at least some sense is people's thoughts of happiness. The dead bride refused the sacrifice of Victor, realizing that she deprives of the happiness the girl Victoria.I can not deny that the film is perfectly done. But I also do not recommend to see this film.
The Corpse Bride (Tim Burton, 2005) is a classic Tim Burton movie. It has the expressionist over the top sets and strange character design that Burton seems to like so much. If you enjoy Tim Burton's other work, you would almost definitely enjoy this film. The Corpse Bride stars a young shy man named Victor who is to be married to a Lady Victoria Everglot, and along the way, he accidentally marries a corpse. This Corpse, named Emily, brings him into a world of the dead existing just below the living. Throughout the movie, Tim Burton really utilizes the freedom given by animation. So much so that a number of characters are just moving caricatures of what they represent. For example, the upper class, old money Lady Maudeline Everglot is more chin than face or her greedy husband Lord Finis Everglott is rounder and fatter than he is tall. All in all, this movie is highly entertaining and very enjoyable and I recommend it especially to people with small children as it is a movie the entire family will find enjoyable.
Looking for a Halloween movie for the whole family to enjoy? Look no farther than Tim Burton's "The Corpse Bride" (2005). It's a film filled with romance, greed, murder, and musical numbers. Johnny Depp and Helen Bonham Carter, staples of Burton films, play the timidly awkward Victor Van Dort and the corpse bride, Emily, respectively. Burton's films are a visual experience that blends the pastels of the 1950s with dark shades from the Victorian Era and this one is no different. Though his use of Claymation, Burton is able to exaggerate the character's physical features as well as make the living world seem dull and dreary while the world of the dead is colorful and fun. While the living tend to embody the worst of attributes, it is the living who have the best human qualities.
