Dark Shadows: Overshadowed

Rating: 4/10 (11 May 2012)

I'm a big fan of Burton, Depp, & Bonham. But this excuse for a movie was bad and fairly confusing. The acting was top notch, the cast was amazing & the effects were tremendous. But the story/plot was weak, the accent (I did not understand 25% of what they were saying) and the subtleness was just...awful. I didn't expect that much 'adult humor' considering that it was a PG - 13 movie. My brother had me answering tons of questions related to the 'sexy time' scenes (as he had called them).
Chloe Grace Moretz did a great job, but it was like she was trying to be a teenage prostitute or something. Her character was pretty lame. Helena Bonham Carter - like always - Oscar Worthy, but her character in the movie was a tad confusing. Her desire to become immortal because of beauty was a little bit eccentric and not believable. The only fairly good character was Michelle Pfeiffer as Elizabeth Collins Stoddard. Her presence was a huge hit for me. It made me like the movie even more.
Anyways, the movie was alright at its best. If it wasn't for the last 20 minutes of the movie, I would've gave it a 3 stars.
