Decent Tim Burton movie that really falls apart in the third act. On a side note Depp is one of my favourite actors, but I'm really getting tired of seeing him in Burton & Pirates movies.

Anyone who calls this movie terrible has no idea about Tim Burton's style. This is his thing. He's gothic, old-fashioned, humorous and fairy tale-ish. It's not everybody's cup of tea, but many people find it to be interesting. Do some damn research about the director and don't watch it if you're not one of those people.

A star-studded cast. A very decent Tim Burton movie.

I didn’t even realize I had seen this movie before until I saw I had previously rated it on another site. Still just as forgettable the second time around. It has a few moments but is mostly lackluster.

Director Tim Burton re-envisions _Dark Shadows_ in this muddled and apathetic comedy. The story follows a vampire named Barnabas Collins who, after having been imprisoned for nearly two centuries, returns to his family estate to help his descendants restore the family’s legacy. The cast is impressive, and includes Johnny Depp, Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Helena Bonham Carter; and while they all give fairly good performances, the characters are underdeveloped. The plot is also weak, and seems unsure about what type of story it wants to tell. There are some entertaining parts in _Dark Shadows_, but it doesn't come together as a cohesive film.

Unique styled film which is very typical for its director Tim Burton. The story is entertaining and it is just fun to watch the actors in their weird and crazy roles. But overall it's mediocre I would say.

Although I was sucked in by the sheer, merry lunacy of this world, its characters and their wardrobe, there's really no excusing some of the fault lines that run through the heart of this confused little horror saga. It suffers from a severe case of subplot-itis, and tries in vain to cram four chapters' worth of back story into nearly every face. Even the less interesting minor players are obsessively over-inspected, which leads the more important characters to pull constant disappearing acts. Pseudo-protagonist Belle Heathcote is the most glaring example, vanishing without explanation for a full forty minutes during the second act, and then materializing right in the middle of a cramped romance. Johnny Depp's Barnabus is the one constant, happily sailing far over the top in yet another colorful, inexplicably successful leading turn.

I caught myself laughing at the punchlines more often than I'd expected, but Dark Shadows often tests the boundaries of good taste, and in one case (an out-of-left-field comic love scene) ventures too close to the uncomfortably absurd. Kooky and silly, it's unforgivably (and thoroughly) lacking in the kind of panache Tim Burton was always known for.

Bloody awful. Johnny Depp has become so predictable and boring in the roles he chooses. If it involves donning white foundation and black mascara then Johnny is up for it. Cliched tripe.
