Touches You

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Marvelous! Brilliant animation. Hilarious, sad, happy - a montage of emotion wrapped in animation. 'The Corpse Bride' is my all-time favorite animated film. I just love the premise and the execution thereof. I loved the musical element, and the depiction of the word of the dead as colorful and vibrant, while the world of the living was grey and somber. Absolutely fantastic!! Best viewed on Blu Ray.

Presenting subjects which are typically dark and frightening and show them in a positive light has long been a trademark of Tim Burton. In the director's latest film, "Corpse Bride", Burton spins death and murder into a charming musical about the power of love. Burton applies the same technique as with his last stop-motion picture, "The Nightmare Before Christmas, but with a more fluid and smoother effect. Lead by the vocal talents of Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, "Corpse Bride" is a terrific achievement of film-making.On the day of their wedding rehearsal, arranged lovers Victor (Johnny Depp) and Victoria (Emily Watson) run into a complication with the ceremony: Victor cannot remember his vows. While practicing in the forest, Victor mistakenly places the ring on the finger of a dead woman (Helena Bonham Carter) and is immediately married to his new bride, Emily. While Victor searches for a way out of the underworld and back to Victoria, he learns of the devious plot of how Emily was murdered and experiences the beauty and charm that still resides in her. Victor must decide whom he loves more: his bride-to-be or his corpse bride.The screenplay penned by John August, Pamela Pettler, and Caroline Thompson feels targeted for younger members of the PG audience.The title of "Corpse Bride" almost gives the wrong impression about the film. The movie is a love story albeit with a darkened twist. It is not meant to be frightening but rather it shows a peaceful and romantic co-existence between the living and the dead. Audiences will be fascinated with the seamless quality of the animation and the vocal talents that give the characters life.

Corpse Bride is a combination of comedy, horror and drama in one film. Mystical puppet cartoon was directed and produced by everyone's favorite Tim Burton. The composer is also a well-known Danny Elfman. Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp voiced the main roles.The story is set in the late 1800s in a Victorian village. Victor and Victoria are betrothed. But when things go wrong at the wedding rehearsal, Victor goes into the woods to practice his vows. When he say them correctly, he realize, that the branch on which he have put the ring is a finger of corpse bride - Emily... So, two brides, one groom, what will be next?Cartoon is very mystic: life in afterlife world, the abundance of excellent soundtracks and the piano, runaway hands, indecisive Victor and dreamy Emily, the horrific killing - all of this give a kind of flavor. Animation fully puppet, you will be able to enjoy the work of operators(dolls and the world is very detailed, what you can find only in some cartoons)I thoroughly recommend Corpse Bride. The audience will spend an hour and a half with pleasure, because all of Tim Burton works will not leave anyone indifferent. I think, you like the funny and horrifying atmosphere. Last but not least, I think anyone likes puppies, even if they are dead :)

Tim Burton strikes again with another hit animated film. If you're in the mood for something unsettling, but not outright terrifying, then this is the movie for you. With big names like Johnny Depp (Victor) and Helena Bonham Carter (Emily) providing the voice acting, Burton brings to life the story of an arranged marriage, but with some added twists, like the interference of the undead and a couple of jazz musical numbers. Get ready for an emotional ride as you find yourself sympathizing with the undead and the plight of the young lovers caught in a love triangle between Victor, Emily, and Victoria (Emily Watson). Though a great movie to watch around Halloween, I highly recommend it for any occasion.
