Not enough to it

Rating: 5/10 (25 September 2005)

Corpse Bride is enchanting and interesting, and most of the songs are pretty catchy, but I didn't think there was too much to it. It seemed to be missing something, like there was no real meat to it. Perhaps it was because although the characters were likable, I didn't really care too much about them. And the plot was an interesting premise, but it didn't seem to really take off. Overall, I'd say I enjoyed it, but like Nightmare before Christmas, I just didn't agree with all the hype. I know Burton fans will come out for it just like every other Burton film and praise it never-endingly, but the movie was merely enjoyable; not great.
