Dark Shadows would be better without a globe in the projector!

Rating: 1/10 (12 May 2012)

Unfortunately for fans of Johnny Depp and Chloe Moretz this would have to be one of the worst pieces that they have made. Hopefully fans will forget quickly. The film had me wishing that I had bought a bigger popcorn. That way after about the first ten minutes I would have something to do. The scenery was excellent and gave the film a great Gothic feel that it needed. The ruins of the mansion looked spectacular. Unfortunately the wooden acting and the manner in which each sub plot was written and resolved like a weekly TV drama made it difficult to have any real reaction when something happened. The comedy aspects that this film is supposed to have must have been playing in the cinema next door. I didn't find any comedy in this film except for the abysmal performance of Eva Green. Yet again another movie where the ending is so obvious and embarrassing when it is finally revealed you sit cringing in your chair hoping that they really don't make the second movie. If you want to see this film wait for it to be on TV so you don't have to pay for it.
