I just came back after watching Corpse Bride, and I must say I loved it. it was a lovely and enchanting movie. ^_^ It was such a pleasure and it's my most favored movie of this summer... er.. autumn... I guess... though it doesn't feel like it yet. heh

I'm not too sure why some people here disliked it. Probably because of the lack of sports cars and explosions.

Don't forget sex and constant use of the F-Word. Not to mention a cameo by a rapper (Xibit, Puff Daddy, Ludacris, Carrot Top, etc.) and drug use.

Yeah, those things are everywhere. I wonder why though. They seem to be a bit too fragile for me.

Anyhow. Movie... Now, I am a fan of Burton's way of making movies. Dark and twisted. TNBC was good, but not spectacular. And when I looked at the Corpse Bride, it didn't exactly say "You gotta see me". It was more like "Hoorah, done before and still good". So, if I go and see it, I need an excuse (not necessarily a good one, but an excuse) to do so.

I hate product placements. When I saw "Red Eye", there were too many product placements for Starbucks. Which pisses me off since, well, I work at Starbucks, and they were saying everything by brand name. I went to the movies to get away from Lattes, Mochas and everything else for a while. WHY MUST THEY TORMENT ME!?

I never see any Ipod Product Placements (or none that I remember). I'm probobly too busy listening to my ipod.

Arn't we all so *very* hard core. .

Good movie. Not great. Did it have bad moments? Sure. Did it have plot holes? Of course.

Was the stop motion animation some of the most amazing I'd ever seen? Yes. Did the movie keep me entertained? Yup.

He did make two movies at the same time so it's not a surprise that one of them lacks quality.

You know what I've come to notice? I realize that the same influence and opinions and personalities of the "emo-kids" and "goth-types" mimic those that criticize and ridicule them. It seems to me that people are quick to comment on their way of thinking with their opinions, and feel completely dignified with those comments, as much as they are with theirs. If you think on both sides of the coin, you might see that.

My sentiments exactly. This movie had its good moments as well as its bad, just like every other movie. It was like TNBC in animation, style, and atmosphere, but it was deeper and a bit darker.

I was entertained, and to me, that's all that matters.
