It's such an excellent movie with Johnny's amazing acting!

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2012)

When I saw the trailer of this movie, I immediately fell in love with this movie as I thought the storyline of the movie was extraordinary and seemed to be interesting! I was really looking forward to Dark Shadows at that time! Fortunately, this movie doesn't disappoint me.
Firstly, for the storyline of the movie, it is interesting that there is a great contrast between the lifestyles of the vampire Barnabas and the Collins. The whole cinema is fulfilled with laughters!
Although there are many scenes that make us, the audience laugh, there are still something I think can be better. For the plot of the movie, I believe that the director or the script-writer may want to focus on how Barnabas helps his family to restore their glory and "defeat" their enemy, Angelique. However, the plot of the movie is not that smooth since the movie has been talked about many points which are not that necessary like how the Collins holds a party. Therefore, I think the movie does not have a clear message which is to be brought out.
Apart from some unnecessary in the movie, I do think that the love between Barnabas and Victoria(Josette) is touching! 200 years ago, they were together and loved each other very much. Just because of Anglique, they were separated. 200 years later, Barnabas and Victoria which look similar as Josette fall in love again but Angelique comes across and makes Victoria jumps from the cliff! Luckily,Victoria doesn't die and be with her lover Barnabas this time! It 's just so touching that they can still be together if they love each other no matter how many 200 years are separating them!
Last but not least, I do appreciate how Johnny Depp acts out the character Barnabas Collins. He acts out the character naturally and can match with the tone of the movies. His acting skills is just so amazing. I am looking forward to seeing him to get an Oscar in the future and I believe that he will definitely win one very soon!I think Eva Green can also act out the witch Angelique. She makes me hate the character at the beginning but soon I think that her character is not that bad and she just wants the one she loves can love her. To conclude, Dark Shadows is a wonderful movie about vampire which makes people like me who don't really enjoy watching movie related to vampire to buy a ticket to support it. It's really a movie of a big family and a romantic story! I do love it!
