Tim Burton cares for visual than story

Rating: 5/10 (20 May 2012)

Tim Burton's new film dark shadows it based off of cult classic dark shadows which was a soap opera back in the 60s. it only lasted for 5 years but left an impact. so Tim Burton once again teamed with johnny depp to create dark shadows the film. along with familiar faces such as Helena bohman carter who happens to be Tim Burton's girlfriend. explains Alice in wonderland. but we see johnny depp as Barnabas Collins who is taunted by a witch Angelique who kills Barnabas Collins girlfriends back in the 1700s. Angelique places a curse on Barnabas to turn him to a vampire and put him in a casket forever. but in the 1970s construction workers find his casket and release him. he kills the workers, because of the thirst. meanwhile we see Victoria who we see in the beginning and then disappears then is the love interest for Barnabas. still we see Victoria go to Barnabas manor to help and emotionally disaster girl who's name i cant remember. another plot hole there and gone. in fact there are a lot of plot holes that are there and then disappear. such as Barnabas plot hole where they try to reprise the family business, then the love relationship between Victoria and Barnabas, and then the love relationship between Angelique and Barnabas. you notice that the try to squeeze all the plots from the show into one movie then either resolve them in 2 seconds or forget all about them. they rush through them to quickly. Tim Burton cared so much about the special effects then the story. johnny depp seemed to really try to make the film good with his performance and Jackie earl Haley like johnny depp does a great job and seems to care about the film. but this film is OK. its a popcorn movie. kind of like transformers. you can sit back relax and not think about what your watching. wait for the DVD.
