teeth in neck or tongue in cheek. this campy remake of a serial tv program has tim burton's stamp of bizarre and humourous blended in.
loved it! when i was a young teen i'd race home from school to watch the popular "soap opera" dark shadows. my mom as well as just about everyone loved barnabus, probebly because he was basically a good guy made to do evil by aq curse. the new one is just so funny and the special effects funtastic! i'd see it again!
simply awful
i always enjoy any movie with johnny depp in it. with the awesome makeup, you can never tell that it's him.
just ok, wouldn't watch again
fabulous comedy drama movie. im going to get nightmares.
funny!
a great homage to a classic show!
jhony dep is a good actor and can make almost any movie fun to watch, how ever i was expecting more,
not for me
a little too juvenile.
it was funny amazing and down right just spooky and fun to watch
i enjoy the movie. there were some funny parts. johnny depp does a good job as a vampire.
not a fan of this movie.
really funny
i was pleasantly surprised as i am not a big tim burton fan. this was his best movie since edward scissorhands.
i am tired of this flaily character that johnny depp keeps recycling these past few years. and i am sorry, but i am a mega fan of the original series, and this just angers me. this movie could have been amazing, i was so looking forward to it. instead it's just incredibly lame.
this movie is definately a tim burton one, very dark but with that odd flash of humor. if you like tim burton movies, you will enjoy it. don't go in expecting a laugh a minute or you'll be dissappointed. i'd say it's a good date movie.
Don't go into this movie expecting laugh a minute, that's not what it's supposed to be. If you like dark comedy, brilliant acting, and an interesting feel to a movie, you will love Dark Shadows
i was somewhat disappointed with the story line, seeing that tim burton directed the film, however the stars that were cast and the wacko characters made for a fun romp at the theatre.
this movie is one of the worst i have seen for a long time.
very tim burton. very creepy and weird, but i loved every minute of it.
movie cute, depp great, but fails to fulfil any genre, not a horror, not entirely a comedy, not enough vampire material for a movie based on a vampire...enjoyable to watch though.
as always, the tim burton - johnny depp duo made a direct hit to the funny bone. dialogue is witty and characters are well cast. michelle pfeiffer does an excellent job as the current matriarch of the collins family and helena bonham carter is a deliciously funny as the self-serving alcholic psychiatrist. i thorouly enjoyed this movie and will buy it when it is released on blu-ray / dvd.
johnny depp is suitable in movie but has a few silly movement.
strange.
spectacularly beautiful film with a hit or miss plot and a few interesting characters. can't make up its mind if it's high camp or gothic horror.
strange and dark.
loved this movie!!!! will be a classic in my opinion. i've always liked tim burton and i hope he continues to keep making great films.
very amusing movie. i like johny depp in this role, he is really good to do different role.
great special effects! story was a bit lacking!
this movie was really fun! i agree with some of the other reviews that dark shadows is a silly movie - but if you're in the mood for a silly movie, i recommend this one.
amazing visuals, though the plot felt like it was focusing on a much different story line than i had expected.
for such a great cast and a tim burton movie this was disappointing. not funny, and kind of silly.
the movie was alright, but the end ruined it for me. had they just stuck to the humor it would not have been so bad but it simply was trying to hard.
some funny parts but overall it was disappointing
mr.depp is amazing but the plot leaves much to be desired
quirky like tim burton.
i was very dissapointed with this movie. i was expecting a lot with it being a tim burton movie and with johnny depp but it was horrible. the trailer covered everything so you really dont even have to watch the movie. i would not waste my time and money in a theatre its a renter movie at best if you have to see it.
exspected a lot more from tim burton and johnny depp usually love their movies and found that all the funny parts you see in this movie are in the trailer
