i really enjoyed this movie. it was quite comical with a bit of vampire horror thrown in. johnny depp is as usual excellent as were the other main characters. i'm thinking they left the door open for a part 2 which would be great as the original dark shadows was a soap opera and they'd have plenty to work with.
it was watchable but kind of boring. not a huge fan.
johnny depp not at his best - i never watched the tv show, and i somewhat enjoyed the film, although i wouldn't recommend it to anybody or watch it ever again!
amusing and hilarious motion-picture! johnny depp is marvelous as usual, eva green is so hot and play very well as a witch character! love tim horton's movies!!! a must-buy collection!
this movie was good. there were many funny parts. unfortunately, i think i had way too high hopes. nothing can compare to "the nightmare before christmas", even though i'm always crossing my fingers that burton's next movie will.
anything with johnny depp is a must see. he portrayed the character well...a little slow in some parts and as usual all best the parts were showed in the trailers so didn't leave much in surprises
hilarious. just love johnny depp
johnny depp was enough invitation to watch this movie. we overheard a girl at the concession counter, shocked that we were headed to see dark shadows, ask another worker if 'those seniors know what that movie is about.' i used to come home from school to watch barnabas on tv in the '60s!! light-hearted version, fun to watch and slightly 'spoofy' with effects borrowed from other movies. good entertainment.
i use to run home from school to watch the original dark shadows series. i was prepared for the quirkiness of tim burton and had no expectations of it being like the series, and it wasn't. burton uses the storyline of the original series thinly and the movie was fun, with great special effects.
slower and less funny than expected, but still a good movie with great characters.
