Sweet, not Scary

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 2005)

Corpse Bride to me was the 2nd most anticipated movie of this year and it is better then anyone could expect. The mix of Johnny Depp, Danny Elfman and Tim Burton has had 2 successful movies this year and that includes this beautiful film. Helena Bonham Carter was the perfect choice to portray the Corpse Bride and Johnny Depp perfect as Victor, the timid main character. This film is not scary and though that's coming from a big fan of Tim Burton I know people who got scared of Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" that liked this movie and thought it was sweet so that's saying a lot. The plot is entertaining and the script was written very well. Some people are planning on comparing this to The Nightmare Before Christmas, listen, there is no comparison. Two totally different story lines and plots! In my opinion nothing can beat the Nightmare Before Christmas but this movie did come close. You won't be disappointed... the genius of Tim Burton lives on!
