Unique and darkly romantic

Rating: 9/10 (25 December 2010)

The "Corpse Bride" movie is another masterpiece from Tim Burton's dark, warped mind.
The story told in the movie is very good and captivating. It is a story that you can easily immerse yourself into and a story that is romantic in a dark way. And it has that unique Burton touch to it, being dark, twisted, funny and yet straight and to the point.
In "Corpse Bride" we have the usual outrageous and grotesque, yet lovable and adorable characters that only Tim Burton can manage to come up with. Just pay close attention to all the characters (also those that are not focus characters and just in the background), and you will see there is so much detail and personality added to every single character in the entire movie.
Of course, the voice cast list is phenomenal, especially Johnny Depp as Victor Van Dort. His voice is so amazing in this movie. Not to mention names like Helena Bonham Carter, Tracy Ullman, Richard E. Grant, Christopher Lee, etc. The list of good names (and voices) here is just amazing. And they all bring a unique touch to the movie.
As with the previous animated movie "Nightmare Before Christmas", the style in "Corpse Bride" is very unique, and there is that Burton sense of elegance to it. There is put a lot of thought and effort into the design and the creation of the sets. And it all works so well.
I remember seeing it when it was first hitting the cinemas, and I fell in love with it instantly. This is definitely a movie that you should treat yourself to watching, if you haven't already seen it. I bet you will love it!
