Tim Burton carries on his dark, romantic tradition

This was the first movie our two year old has seen and he loved it. It is visually stunning enough to hold his attention even during the less chaotic scenes. It is a wonderful gothic romance.

Excellent animation. All the people look cute. The voices also are very good.

Well, I thought it was great but Nightmare Before Christmas was just a tad better. The songs were good, and the characters just gave it that Tim Burton twang that we all know and love.

A story about the dead seems so fresh, alive, and beautiful. This is among Burton's best work. His brilliance for creating imagery and tone is why he is one of Hollywood's most distinguished directors.

It looks beautiful...sadly the characters are boring and hollow and do not capture you in any way to make you feel something from this movie.

When I was going to watch this movie for the very first time, I thought it would be bloody awful. The movie flattered me: it's so beautiful, so full of content, and so carefully made! Tim Burton is yet to make a bad movie.

Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Awful! Gross. Disgusting. Awful! The worst I've seen this month. And I did see the new JLO film.

Seriously, I don't understand the critical acclaim for this movie. The plot was too shallow and predictable, the characters were either annoying, the music was so loud and so bad. What's there to like about this film?

Pros: visually stunning, wonderful cast. Cons: aimed too much towards children 6 and under, bland plot. Overview: It can't match Tim Burton's earlier work, but i guess i just expected too much.

This picture comes off like a student film--completely unrefined and uninspiring. Don't see it!

The entire plot, with all twists and turns could be summed up in two sentences. Lovely to look at, but no substance whatsoever.

Don't get me wrong I loved Sleepy Hollow, Nightmare before Christmas, and Big Fish. This was predictable, not clever, and not worth Tim Burton Johnny Depp or Helena. No good and when the end hits you its like, that was it? Not worth 5 buck.

Characters are boring, the plot is nothing special and i think you shouldn't waste your time on this overrated animation. I wouldn't watch it again - 3/10

Didn't enjoy it. It was too boring, the plot seemed pretty stupid, and I disliked most of the characters, though I will praise the animation and voixe acting however...

I think the story doesn't suit little children. The animation and the character do, but some part of the story need adult understanding. Just take a look yourself, and you'll understand what I mean. Other than this is just magnificent.

Its official. Johnny Depp is the best actor both on screen and off screen. He plays the role perfectly, and we didnt even see him in person! That guy is amazing.

This movie, while looking like a movie that would leave a mark for many years, sadly fell quite short of what I had been expecting. It was a bland, heapless mess with good animation.

Highly imaginative with a particularly wry script and technically fascinating in its use of stop-motion. I found the depiction at the end of the emotional connection between the dead and the living touching.

Akward music inserts and the lack of plot make this hard to bare at times. The only thing going for it is that it brings new lighting to animation and is truely original.

The best animation of the year. Burton pulls it off once again and creates a majestic work, of inner beauty and of dazzling visual. A classic, Romeo + Juliet on gothic roots.

Wonderfull movie, although a bit drab a times. Although not a classic like Edward Scissorhands or The Nightmare Before Christmas, I think that Tim Burton did a great job on this. And Danny Elfman outdid himself on this.

It was pretty good, though not as good as Edward Scissorhands or the Nightmare before Christmas. It just doesn't move the same way as those did.

Excellent - another brilliant Tim Burton and Danny Elfman stop motion film. I do have to say, it wasn't quite as good as Nightmare, but excellent all the same. Highly recommend it.

I was naturally skeptical because Tim Burton's movies sometimes can be really disappointing. This is not the case.

Brilliant story writing, fantastic animation, and great voices. I found the song lyrics hard to understand, but that was my only complaint.

Years ago, Danny Elfman's former band (Oingo Boingo) released an album entitled "Dead Man's Party". He must have LOVED doing the music for this film.

I normally love Tim Burton movies, but never has he crossed soo far into style over substance. This one gets really boring after all the jokes fall flat and the songs lose their schtick.

Definitiely not Tim Burtons finest (see Nightmare before Christmas). The story was slow with only a couple of scenes a joy to watch e.g. the marriage speech. OK for children?!

A good film, but none of the genius of 'Nightmare Before Christmas'. it was entertaining, but not too memorable, but a good movie nonetheless, but I guess I expected more.

Joyfully brilliant animation and terrific performances are unfortunately muddled by a thematically confusing plot and mediocre music.

Yeah, saw it last night . . . Don't get me wrong, it's cute. I liked it okay, and everything. But ultimately, not memorable. 5, average.
