The Corpse Bride [DVD] [2005]

Excellent film

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!

A classic Tim Burton movie 🎬 if you have not seen this movie you are missing a treat 😉 very good 😀 nick

I just cannot, cannot believe that there is ANYONE on planet Earth who doesn't like 'The Corpse Bride'. Why don't you just bury yourselves and be done with it? You're dead; you're the only ones who don't know it. Either that, or you must be the same people who keep 'Big Momma's House', 'Disaster Movie' and countless other excremental drivel in the cinema - they're clearly more to your level of intellect. I despair. It seems the number of people who can actually tell the difference between a turd and a diamond is dwindling rapidly. I first saw 'The Corpse Bride' on TV a few days ago, and immediately fell in love with it. Even the damn TV voice-over loved it, expressing her admiration as the credits rolled (and you don't hear that often). I quickly got it on DVD to treasure forever. What more can I say? The story is enchanting and charmingly original; the voice-casting is first-class; the stop-motion animation is just sublimely well done; the songs are ghoulishly good (the song the Corpse Bride sings to herself is just adorable and touching). I could go on. 'The Corpse Bride' deserves to be up there along with 'Toy Story', 'Monsters Inc', 'WALL-E', 'Shrek' as not only one of the greatest children's films of all time, but one of the greatest films full stop. If you do not like this film then not only do you not have a heart, you are one of the reasons why this world is in such a mess.

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 & trailers None 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.

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 😊

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

Tim Burton never lets me down. 💙

A nice science fiction story ( if you like that kind of thing ) to take you away from your daily pressures when you arrive home from work and settled down. I have seen it 3 times and I still enjoy it, it gives you an insight to how these Astro'' scientist work, I liked it and it's valued by me as 5 star, merited.

This is one of the few science fiction movies that is the real thing. Written by Carl Sagan it shows what it may be like to make contact with an advanced, alien civilization. The script goes into the political and religious ramifications of contact with an alien civilization which is done well. Of course there had to be some Hollywood touches to spice it up, but these are done well. This was my third viewing of this film and I found new themes in it that I did not catch on the first and second viewings. This is one of maybe 5 science fiction movies that I like, mainly because there are no alien monsters or black clad bad guys with laser swords. Real science fiction as it should be! Beware that a pop up will occur that says: Region Playback Control. This has a column of radio buttons that list various regions of the world where this DVD will play. The button selected is for Western Europe and Japan. The button for U.S.A. will not click on. I continued with the Western Europe format and another pop up said: Refresh rate is not compatible. A button that said automatically adjust refresh rate appeared and I selected that. The DVD then played as it should with Windows Power Media Player, using Windows 10. There is a small box on the back of the DVD container that says: Distributed by Warner Home Video U.K. Limited.

Vecchio film che mi faceva piacere avere con una giovanissima Jodi Foster che come sempre apporta al film una recitazione perfetta . Consegna e funzionamento tutto ok

Genial, Me encantó la película. Esta basada en la novela "Contact" de Carl Sagan. Además estaba a muy buen precio, y no tardo nada en llegar. El servicio fue muy bueno. Lo único es que sólo está en inglés, que para mi no es ningún problema.
