    I absolutely enjoyed the movie! Very entertaining! I first thought - oh no, another vampire movie! But it wasn't about that at all, the movie was really about family, and love. Surprising huh? At first I thought - huh, why choose the 70's. But then eventually I loved the setting - it was very easy to make fun of.

    Watch it for the star-studded cast, the laugh out loud moments, and the hippies!

    But, if you've never liked Tim Burton's style, don't even bother...

    I give it a 7.5/10

    Lola_Rose's Spoiler-free Review: Dark Shadows (2012)


    Comedy | Fantasy


    Hell has no fury like a woman scorned.

    It's 1752 and wealthy playboy and dark magic enthusiast Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) of Collinsport, Maine, breaks the heart of Angelique (Eva Green) when he chooses Josette (Bella Heathcote), his true love, over her. But too bad for Barnabas, the devastated Angelique happens to be a witch, and Barnabas receives the full effect of her wrath of unrequited love: not only with a family curse, but with eternal suffering—turning Barnabas into a vampire and then burying him alive. Almost two centuries later, in 1972, Barnabas is accidentally released from his coffin. Time-warped and culture-shocked, Barnabas returns to the Collinswood Manor, stays with the cursed and dysfunctional Collins family, his descendants, and becomes determined to redeem the Collins family name.

    But Barnabas is in for a surprise when the past returns to haunt him.



    Based on the 1966-1970 television series of the same name, Tim Burton's Dark Shadows is a gothic fantasy comedy that can very well elicit a lot of laughs. Johnny Depp playing the British-accented, old-fashioned Barnabas is a huge delight to watch, delivering the humorous, poetic, and lyrical lines of his character perfectly, his performance intensifying the comical character of Barnabas. With the combination of his innocent and deadpan look and the flowery Old English that comes out of his mouth, it's most of the time a riot.



    The first half of the movie is clearly inspired and playful, engaging you in the charming 1970's pop culture, frequently making you laugh with the presence of a hilariously clueless and eloquent vampire, mesmerizing you in Tim Burton's trademark of a dreamy and magical gothic world, complete with Oscar-winner Colleen Atwood's breathtakingly gorgeous costumes. However, the narrative is a bit loose, with characters forgotten from time to time and some significant aspects of the story left out or unexplained. Still the film moves along just fine—absorbing, funny, and entertaining—but! when the climax arrives, the movie makes a 360-degree turn and becomes messy, forced, and boring...leaving you with a disappointing and unsatisfying feeling in the end.



    Overall, Dark Shadows shines because of Depp's Barnabas and his witty, poetic dialogue, Burton's dreamy world, and Atwood's painfully beautiful and inspired costume-designing that seriously deserves another Oscar. The entire cast, including the elegant and graceful Michelle Pfeiffer as Elizabeth Collins and Eva Green as Angelique the Witch, gives justice to their unique characters. The story, though, feels just like it's original source: a light soap opera that is a delight to watch in weekday afternoons, yet with an amazing production design. Too bad, the movie would have been a wholly delightful experience if not for the weak and messy climax.

    Dark Shadows is worth the watch, though—not only for the visually pleasing experience, but most of all, Johnny Depp as Barnabas is just too cute and hilarious to miss.

    7 out of 10 stars

    Also starring Helena Bonham Carter and Chloe Grace Moretz

    Saw the movie yesterday. I am a Burton fan, but what the hell happened? The story is disorganized.

    Excerpts from Ebert's review that expressed how I felt about the movie:


    "Tim Burton's "Dark Shadows" is all dressed up with nowhere to go, an elegant production without a central drive. It offers wonderful things, but they aren't what's important."


    "It's a great-looking film and Burton is good--but where's the story?"

    "Dark Shadows" begins with great promise, but then the energy drains out.

    But yeah, it offered lots of humor. But for me, it's 'funny,' but not exactly 'hilarious'

    Helpful points by Ebert. One should probably just enjoy the original soap opera.

    The story is disorganized.
    Apt word to describe the movie. Like Ebert says, walang "central drive." Ganun nga rin naramdaman ko.

    "Dark Shadows" begins with great promise, but then the energy drains out.
    Yup naging boring nga sya sa huli.

    It offers wonderful things, but they aren't what's important."
    True. The wonderful things include the production design, the costumes, and Barnabas, but the story is the most important thing-- and in this movie, it's indeed messy.


    Depp fans might love this movie-- as well as those who'd want to laugh because Barnabas provides a lot of humor. Or those who want to be visually entertained, too, will enjoy. It's Tim Burton, anyway.

    I was there in the advance screening. I got my ticket from 99.5RT tho. Not from here.

    Plot-wise, yes. Medyo unexpected from Tim Burton. Pero the comedic touches entertained me A LOT.

    Wow, a "dark" film directed by Tim Burton starring Johnny Depp with creepy makeup, also starring Burton's wife Helena Bonham Carter. So unique and interesting!

    I watched this yesterday in IMAX. It was a fun movie but the ending ruined it all for me. David's mom?! Seriously? Damn!

    I love the funny moments of this movie but i am disappointed with the ending ... One-scene-only appearance of a character ends it all...

    A surprise character and surprisingly i wondered why...
