Just barely made it into the OA.
Mirror of Society
What I think really mirrors society in this film is the way that everyone is afraid at first and then warms up to Sparky. Also, the heavy competition among the characters. Otherwise this film doesn't really mirror society 3/5
Moral
This film has a very strong moral. Both in what Victor's parents say as well as Mr. Rzykruski. It has a very touching and inspiring air throughout. 5/5
Plot and Script
The plot follows a very logical format; you won't get lost. The Script, however, left the story slow paced at times. I personally felt bored watching for five minute. 4/5
Director
Tim Burton keeps a great reputation in my book. As always he can tell a heartwarming story while making it both creepy and weird. However, I felt this film lacked a little bit of his creative genius. So he gets 4/5
Casting and Characters
The cast of this film feels great in their roles. There is no doubt about it. The characters are great and well developed. You could literally taste each characters unique individual personality. 5/5
Costume and Design
The Costumes and Design were great as always with Burton. Nevertheless, I felt that there was a severe lack of creativity. It felt like I was watching an alternate reality of Edward Scissorhands combined with Corpse Bride looking characters. 2/5
Cinematography
I must say Peter Sorg did a great job in this film. I can't complain about anything. 5/5
Good Use of Special Effects
This film's special effects are great. I love the stop-motion animation. Also, the story is told in black and white making very good use of the medium, I don't think the film would be presented better in color. 5/5
Musical Score
Although I really enjoy Danny Elfman's music, the soundtrack on this film really didn't do anything for me. I was just some typical creepy Elfman stuff playing to some creepy Burton images.
Editing
Okay, I know every film can't be perfect. But I feel that you rushed and left a few glaring mistakes that could have been easily taken care of. 2/5
Overall 38/50
Another great film by Tim Burton.
