Definitely a film for your pre-teen, nothing in it for adults, in fact, the signature line in it "Sometimes adults don't know what they're talking about" is what kids suspected all along.

Tim Burton is so hit or miss and with Frankenweenie the best you can say is that at least he's not adapting another remake. This was a decent film, but it's not the Nightmare Before Christmas.

The movie was good enough to keep me awake, but it just wasn't good, at all. It did have an interesting premise, but I didn't care about the characters, the movies script is a little on the generic side and it just BORED me to death. I seriously did not like the movie, at all. And I know that people are going to give me heat for giving such an overrated movie a 4 out of 10, but it's my review. I just personally hated the movie, but I won't give it a negative rating because the acting was actually legitimately good, but other than that, the movie was not enjoyable, AT ALL. By far, Tim Burton's worst film. I don't know why its so overrated.… Expand

I love Tim Burton, but this film isn't worthy of the ratings that it has been given. The film is somewhat likable but I have to say, Tim Burton wil eventually end up like Adam Sandler, he made some great movies before (Edward Scissorhands,I love Tim Burton, but this film isn't worthy of the ratings that it has been given. The film is somewhat likable but I have to say, Tim Burton wil eventually end up like Adam Sandler, he made some great movies before (Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman [1989]) then he made some good or okay movies (Dark Shadows, 9) and now we have "Frankenweenie." For Tim Burton, this film seems like bottom of the barrel, he can do so much better than this. I didn't like "Frankenweenie," not just because I know that Tim Burton can do so much better, but the film just wasn't all that good.… Expand

The Good: Great animation and voice cast. Solid characterization and an amusing and cute idea. Essentially re-tells the story of Frankenstein's monster but with a boy and his dog, and you'd assume that the predictability would ruin the film. It doesn't.

The Bad: Not quite as entertaining as I had hoped. While it is a great concept, Burton just didn't bring enough of his own unique ideas to add to the story. A little slower than I expected it to be.… Expand

This film, freely inspired by the novel "Frankenstein", tells how a child will seek to raise your late puppy from the dead. Directed by Tim Burton, with a screenplay by Leonard Ripps, the film features the voices of Charlie Tahan, CatherineThis film, freely inspired by the novel "Frankenstein", tells how a child will seek to raise your late puppy from the dead. Directed by Tim Burton, with a screenplay by Leonard Ripps, the film features the voices of Charlie Tahan, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short and Winona Ryder.

It's an animated film in stop-motion, similar to others who Burtom has done. The script makes an interesting reinterpretation of the original Frankenstein. Throughout the film, Burton has honored Ed Wood, one of the worst directors in history of cinema. The story is easy to understand, it's not too adult for teenagers and not too childish for adults. The voice actors did a good and flawless work.

However, it's not a particularly memorable film. The story entirely rounds around the dog and its owner in a very predictable manner. It has some moments of humor but we cannot say it's a funny movie. The fact that the cinematography is all black and white will not, of course, please to everyone. The scenarios, depicting the traditional suburban neighborhood of the fifties, are nothing special.… Expand
