Was not so good

Rating: 7/10 (19 July 2014)

Coming from someone who has never seen the TV series, or learn of their existence before reading the reviews:
This movie feels shallow, the themes are stated rather than portrayed, the characterization incomplete, fragmented and felt unconvincing. And there are some sequences, for example the last fight sequence, that felt awkwardly hastened and incomplete (statues came alive, and then?) at times. The only part that I felt was well done was the "endure" theme and the destruction of family house.
Just a quirky film, fun to watch, good to experience the interesting seventies X vampire match-up, and of course Depp as the main attraction, but overall the film really has no staying power.
