    Just back from seeing Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, and I have mixed feelings about it. Some scenes were absolutely brilliant, others totally drab. Maybe I had set my expectations too high for this one. The songs, and the music in general, were pointless. I feel the movie just lacked something, and I can't put my finger on it. Great in parts, but lesser as a whole.

    Maybe I'm comparing it too much with Nightmare Before Christmas. I had expected something even better than Nightmare, and felt let down. But the movie itself invites comparison (the songs and the music, the ghost/skeleton dog, the "walking alone in the woods" part, the "two opposite worlds" theme...).

    I'm not saying it wasn't good. As I said bits and pieces of it were absolutely brilliant. I just feel it's less coherent as a whole than Burton's other works.

    I enjoyed Corpse Bride, and would recommend it. The music in particular was a pleasant surprise, in my opinion. The piano solo was short but beautiful; or that piano duet (and what it stood for)... special moments of this movie and that drew me in.
