Very disappointing
I rushed to the video store yesterday to rent this as soon as it came out; I'd been really looking forward to seeing it, but decided to rent it first before buying it. I've been burned in the past. But how bad could it be? It's by Tim Burton, the guy who brought us "Nightmare Before Christmas" and the original Batman movie.I'm very glad I did.This movie comes nowhere near the genius of Nightmare; it's a tepid and insipid story that lacks energy, set to a totally forgettable score by Danny Elfman (another huge disappointment of this movie).The only memorable character in this piece is the Corpse Bride herself. The rest of the characters, especially Victor (voiced by Johnny Depp) are yawn-inspiring.Where's Jack Skellington when you need him?
