Huh. Is it endearing or a little creepy?
Best question: Will they have bolts on the neck?

This was pretty good imo. Made me and the kiddo crack up quite a bit.

Plot Summary: From creative genius Tim Burton ("Alice in Wonderland," "The Nightmare Before Christmas") comes "Frankenweenie," a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life—with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor's fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new "leash on life" can be monstrous.

A stop-motion animated film, "Frankenweenie" will be filmed in black and white and rendered in 3D, which will elevate the classic style to a whole new experience.

My bride and I really liked it. Lotsa homage to the original Frankenstein movie, some really funny stuff, some tear jerking stuff and some fairly scary images toward the end (for the 5 and under crowd). 4 out of 5 stars. Very enjoyable for young and old.

Cool. Thinking about seeing this tomorrow.

Am I the only one who hates Tim Burton?





Ok i cant say 'hate' him, i dont even know him. He could be a very good guy IRL. Ill rephrase that:

I Hate his style of movies.

They are absolutely unique, but incredibly abrasive on my toleration for wackiness. Every character hes ever created has the same pale skin, sunken eyes. The worlds are just painfully wacky.

I think it was willy wonka. He damn near destroyed that movie for me with that abomination he made with the Indian disco oompa loompas.



Sweeney Todd was not bad. But it was also the least Tim Burton-ish movie Tim burton has ever made.

 

[DeAnna]

Never cared for Tim Burton movies, but this one was quite enjoyable!

I liked that they payed homage to not only Frankenstein, but to Gremlins and Godzilla. I think there was a vampire-cat in there also.

And yes, SuperSpck, he did have bolts on his neck.
