A brief review of Dark Shadows

Rating: 5/10 (10 February 2013)

I was quite intrigued to see this movie as I am a fan of both Johnny Depp and Tim Burton and really enjoy the movies that they have worked on previously together. After seeing the trailer for this movie, I felt it had a lot of potential and was really looking forward to seeing this movie.
After a great opening scene, it is set up for what should continue on to be a entertaining and interesting movie, however sadly the film did not deliver and live up to my expectations like I had hoped it would, the storyline at times seemed to be lacking and therefore occasionally my mind tended to wander throughout the film.
Johnny Depp does give a very good performance in his role as Barnabus Collins who is a vampire, there are also some very good colorful and graphical scenes throughout the movie. Also at times there are some moments of comedy in the film. However the supporting cast fails to deliver in their roles throughout the movie.
Tim Burton is a very talented and unique director and If you are a fan of his movies I would still encourage you to see this film, I just feel that it could have been better than it actually was.
