[The News Bot]

Certainly a movie that has is a slight let down to how I imagined it would end up, but it’s not a bad movie at all. In fact I’d say that it’s Burton firing on 3 out of 4 cylinders, which is why I feel slightly let down, but again I reiterate, Burton on ¾ steam is still better than a lot of others out there. Excellent casting and some striking visuals help compensate, but I feel it should have been a tad darker – indeed the trailer for Corpse Bride at the beginning of the disk certainly gives me something to look forward to – Burton at 100% and I can’t wait for that DVD. For now, this is a good family movie and is certainly a very competent DVD, I just feel slightly robbed, but kids I’m sure will warm to it – probably a good bet for most popular kids DVD this Christmas.
