I went to a TechNet event this afternoon with Dickson, and after the technical presentations were done (they showed Vista and some mobile stuff) everyone was treated to free popcorn, drinks, and a screening of Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride. I had heard some good things about the movie, as well as some very negative things, but I figured it was free so what the heck!
Turns out the movie was actually pretty good! Not amazing or anything, and I’d rather watch a Pixar movie over this, but not bad. I just don’t get Tim Burton’s darkness and eccentricities I guess, both of which are quite prevalent in this film. The story was very unique and well thought out, in my opinion. Even though Johnny Depp voices the main character, I didn’t realize it was him. Didn’t sound like him to me anyway! I think maybe the best part of the movie was the music, which was composed by Danny Elfman. It really made the movie!
Perhaps not a movie I’d recommend for the theatre, but definitely worth a rental!
