a little monotonous

Rating: 4/10 (17 September 2012)

i didn't watch the original series,so my review is based only on this movie. movie has some good and some bad points,first the good ones.the sets, the costumes, the effects,the acting, and the cinematography are flawless.i also liked first part of the movie where it is explained what happens to collins family how and why barnabas was condemned to his obscure destiny.he was loved by a witch.later on she cursed him and his family because she felt used and after he admitted he was never in love with her.first she kills his parents and then puts him in a coffin for 200 years, and he becomes vampire.to this point i liked this movie.unfortunately this is only 5 % of the whole movie.when he wakes up from the coffin then begins this movie going downward.from that point on nothing interesting really happens.and it was not really funny.there were attempts of some jokes but it wasn't it.i felt like something was missing.barnabas in love with victoria that part of the movie was really vague and it felt like it was forced.i could name at least 5 more things that i didn't like in this movie...and the main problem- it becomes more and more monotonous and by the end i just wanted it to be over-didn't care a bit how it will end.
