Movie Reviews of Tim Burton's Corpse Bride [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: It is like watching a new movie over again.
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is in my top 10 list and Blu-ray version is just jaw-dropping amazing. I thought the DVD was one of the best looking animation, but after seeing this version there are much to critique. The depth in the BR version is what you notice first, it was like watching a new movie. The clothing textures, fabrics are now more noticeable, as well the character's clay model line and hole. The items in the background also looked much sharper. The lighting was a little soft or bleeds a little in the DVD version, but looks much sharper contrast in the BR.

Warner overall did a great job. I read the still frame were taken in 3000dpi or was it 5000dpi, so there is more room for improvement. I did not notice much different with the sound and the extra features were the same as in the DVD version. Warner also did superd good with Happy Feet.

Previous DVD version review:
This was one of that movie that was a sleeper at the box office but was a great rental and even worth buying. I found this movie well done on many levels. First the clay animation facial movement was very believable. The musicals were not over the top and magical. The soundtracks bleed gothic love. The story while quiet short and predictable but was smooth and perfect.

I am not sure why other thought the "Nightmare before Christmas" was better. I found that movie way over acted and stereo-typing, while this one was quiet believable even if the plot is a dead bride. The concept would still work well with other situations replacing the dead bride. Yes the acting and the scenes are cold, but it is gothic.

Why this movie got five stars, it was one of the few movies that are quite saddening.
