Promising start, Disappointing end

Rating: 5/10 (28 May 2020)

Dark Shadows is a fantasy horror comedy movie directed by Tim Burton and stars Johnny Depp, Eva Green, Bella Heathcote, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jonny Lee Miller, Helena Bonham Carter, Jackie Earle Haley, Chloe Grace Moretz and Gully McGrath.
The start of the movie is promising and it seems that we are ready for an entertaining joyride but the hope diminishes and vanishes.
It seems that the plot is written in a hurry and the characters aren't explained properly although the cast chosen for the movie is talented and they had performed well in their department and special praise should be given to Johnny Depp for his impeccable comic timing.
Screenplay is not that impressive and couldn't hold the half cooked plot. The direction also disappoints. Acting as I mentioned earlier is impressive and visual effects attracts appreciation. The movie could've been better provided they had developed the plot and character in a much better way.
Overall an average movie with a great comic timing but disappoints when it comes to the plot and it's execution.
