The Corpse Bride [DVD] [2005]

I've always loved this gothic film, a sad story of a young man who can't get his wedding vows right, and a tragic young girl The Corpse Bride. A great story, with the voice of Johnny Depp as the groom. Had to buy it for my dvd collection. Would recommend. Good delivery, thanks 😊

Great item well packaged fast delivery 5***** seller 👍

Very witty, not really suitable for very young children- a typical Tim Burton signature.. it’s great fun to watch

I am such a great fan of Jodie Foster and everytime a film of hers is shown on television I always watch it. I started to watch Contact with no enthuasiasm whatsoever - it's a Sci - Fi film, need I continue? But then I came to see that it was so much more than that. I think everyone at at least one point in life mustv'e questioned it's meaning; what are we all doing here? Does God really exist? And this film deals with all those issues without making it to religious or "mushy". It just really gets you thinking. It's an amazing film with a really strong cast, and Robert Zemickis, who hasn't heard of him?! There isn't anything I don't like about it and everytime I see it, it hits my really hard and saddens me. We really are all so alone. It is exetremely thought provoking and it has since inspired me to become an astronomer myself! Please don't listen to reviews who completely rip it apart - fair enough everyone has different tastes, but if you just gave it a go, with an open mind and an open heart, I think you would really love it. I can't even begin describe what a great script it has and the way the story evolves. It is one of my favourite films and it has taught me to never judge a film by it's cover. Being a philosopher myself, It copes with the religious issues exetremely well without being boring or over the top to people who aren't religious, It just gets them thinking. All my friends love this film, and so do I. Just please, give it a go and you will also come to love it. It's time to make Contact!

To anyone who thinks that science fiction is about action-packed escapism, with ray guns and scary monsters, as all those who have jumped on the Star Wars bandwagon in the last 25 years would have us believe, watch this film. Science fiction can be plausible, intelligent and - shock, horror - have things to say just like any other form of drama. I have a personal fondness for this film for that reason, and therefore am prepared to forgive its occasional lapse into schmaltz. It's refreshing to see something that gives us a credible glimpse into what our first contact with an alien intelligence might actually be like, and how we might react to it.Also this disc represents top value for a DVD:... here's what you get for your money:*No less than THREE full-length audio commentaries - one from Jodie Foster, one from the director and producer, and one from the Special Effects men. And these are genuine commentaries too, not cobbled together from interviews - they are with you as you watch the film, commenting on everything you see as you see it. Together they are a wonderful eye-opener into how a film like this is made.* Isolated music score - this option means that the film is silent for a lot of the time but provides a fascinating alternative way to view many scenes.* Special effects featurette; sort of a technical showreel showing how many shots were composited -even the ones that don't look like FX shots.* Production notes, the usual scene access & trailersNone of this is the cheap promo stuff that is thrown carelessly onto many discs; somebody cared enough about this film to make a real effort. all of this means you have to watch this film at least four times before you're exhausted all the disc has to offer.If you haven't seen the film, watch out for spoilers in the other reviews on this page.

This great film never seems to come around in satellite so I or based my own copy. Fabulous performance as usual.

Great film and delivered early

One of the most amazing films I've ever seen, and it doesn't mention the war...(well, almost...!!!)I remember seeing this at the cinema with my first boyfriend, who was (to say the least) disappointed and insisted we go and see Aliens Resurrected next! I don't think I ended up crying then, but certainly re-watching it now on DVD I had forgotten how Jodie Foster's powerful acting makes the whole thing come alive, and how after this I had no doubt that she would be the leading lady in any of my own films! The intensity of this movie is what makes it worth watching; although the love-interest thing is a bit shlocky and the debate is meaningless to this "anything goes" European, this does not stand in the way of what for a long time was my favourite film ever, and still remains my favourite *Hollywood* film ever. The characters, particularly the government advisers (which includes David Drumlin), are intensely realistic and show the depths to which American chauvinism, even in the Clinton era, can sink, without pulling any punches for a largely American target market. The religion-v-science debate is presented in the manner of Kieslowski, without prejudice as to who is right (I am myself a Christian but was still rooting for Dr Arroway!).Zemeckis' camera-work is very good, and adds to the other-worldly feel of some of the locations; however without these - and the stunning CGI graphics - the film would still have made me cry buckets.I have not yet listened to the commentaries but I will do so as soon as I have a spare week or two! The DVD extras are primitive but interesting, although I would have loved to see some out-takes or deleted scenes...
