The Corpse BrideFollow

Hello Everyone! This is my first time posting in The Asylum. I scanned the first few pages but I didn't see a thread on this movie. I apologize if this has already been brought up. I should also add that there is a possibility of spoilers in this thread.

I saw The Corpse Bride at midnight opening night. I must say I was not disappointed! The movie was awesome! The music, the dark humor, the story, the romance, it was all great. I love the way Burton portayed the Victorian town as so incredibly boring. While the underworld was much more fun.

My only complaint would be that it is too short. I could have easily watched another two hours of this type of great movie. Unfortunately stop motion is agonizingly slow to film so I forgive them.

Anyways, I would like to hear your opinions and thoughts about this movie. Thanks in advance for your input!

The movie was shown in one of the large auditoriums of a 24 screen Harkins Theatres (Mesa, AZ). I would say there was about 100 people there (out of about 150 seats), which is not a bad crowd. They were pretty rowdy as opening night crowds usually are. They cheered after the Harry Potter trailer, as well as the end of the movie. Overall, a great experience. I can't wait to see it again!

My wife wants to see Corpse Bride, I want to see god of war. Being the man of the house, you know which movie we will see.







I suppose I can always rent "God of War" when it comes out.

Fixed.

...doesnt look that good to me id much rather see god of war that fits my MANLY lifestyle a little more

I'm a huge fan of animation so I really want to see this one. It has the very identifiable Tim Burton look to it, which is okay, since I like his macabre visuals.

Nads, you know you just have to hint to the hubby that a little sugar may be forthcoming if he goes to that movie with you and you're in like Flynn.

Yeah, I may just try that. Or I can promise to not to make fun of his Rocky movies...

Seeing as I never get to go to the movies anymore, I'll have to wait until it comes out on DVD or On Demand before I can see it. I've already filled my quota for 2 movie trips a year. But I do really want to see it

I've seen Lord of War, and I really want to go see Corpse Bride. Lord of War was better than I had anticipated. It looked like one of the lame action movies from the previews, but wasn't really an action movie at all, I liked it. Corpse Bride looks awesome, I'll probably go see it on Monday because my fiance and I both have Monday off and he wants to see it too.

Saw it opening day.

Would happily go see it again. Was definitely a fun story to watch, and like most Burton/Elfman collaborations, the visuals and music were a killer combo (Elfman, FYI voices the skeletal singer during the first underworld musical number.

I thought the skeletal puppy was cute. Those two always seem to work a dead puppy into these things, you notice? :P

Corpse Bride sucked di[b][/b]ck. If my wife had let me, I would have walked out of it. The story line was incredibly lame and predictable, the musical aspect to it was horrible to listen to. The only remotely funny parts (I'm guessing they were supposed to be funny) were plastered all over the previews.

Even Johnny Depp couldn't save this piece of crap. The only redeeming quality was the clay-mation look. Trust me, if this movie had not had that to fall on, it would have bombed hard.

And yes, I loved Nightmare Before Christmas.
