Very weak

Rating: 4/10 (13 January 2006)

Tim Burton's Corpse Bride proves that a bad movie cannot ride out on the nice visuals or unusual filming techniques alone. A poor, poor rehash with tricks taken out of the same hat as his magnificent, stunning stop-motion puppet animation Nightmare Before Christmas - with nothing more or fresh to add.
The story is this film's main weakness - it is so utterly primitive, rehashed, and flat, they didn't even bother adding a single twist along the way to make it interesting (for adults, anyway.) Seeing this movie adds nothing new to the Nightmare. A disappointment of big-screen proportions.
