Properly amazed and just blown away

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2010)

I wasn't really excited about seeing this movie but my friend rented it and I could borrow it. Seen quite a few movies from Tim Burton now so I thought it couldn't be that bad. And indeed it wasn't. The movie starts rather slow (not King Kong-slow so don't worry ;) ) but keeps a very nice pace. Normally I stop a movie once to get some drinks but I just couldn't stop it. I was hooked by the beautiful story along with the truly awesome animations. It captivated me in a way I've not felt for a long time (well not that long, but justs sounds better), I can't put my finger on it but the movie just works, and that's what movies should do and directors should be able to accomplish. Corpse Bride is really a fine example of Burton's talent and I'm so glad I didn't ignore it and neither should you (you probably won't find a cure for cancer anyways in those 90 minutes you'd lose if you don't like it after all).
Totally off-topic: In my opinion the corpse bride is quite hot really, in an animated slightly morbid way... But still.
