OK, but not great

Rating: 5/10 (16 May 2012)

OK way to kill a couple of hours, but this movie is very boring. It's like they had a check list of the TV show and just ran down the list checking things off to throw into the movie. Johnny Depp's make-up frequently changes mid scene. Sometimes his lips are white and then they will be red (and not just after kissing Angelique). The love story between Barnabas and Josette is terrible and literally thrown in at the last minute. He has affairs with the Doctor and Angelique tho. I think they should have kept the quirkiness, but left out the comedy. If doesn't fit well with this type of movie. How can Elizabeth not know her daughter Carolyn is a werewolf? I didn't like Roger being a thief either. Plus Barnabas goes out in the daylight. I doubt having an umbrella makes that much of a difference.
