Still Love Johnny

Rating: 1/10 (14 May 2012)

Well, twenty dollars and two hours of my life I can't get back. You live and learn - but as my husband pointed out, if I hadn't seen this movie, I would have always wondered. I wish Mr. Burton had made up his mind to make this story either serious or campy. With Johnny Depp as the star, I'd have voted for campy, since he does it so well. There were some twists to the plot that, to me, didn't add anything, and frankly, didn't make sense. In the original soap opera, Barnabas Collins looked fairly normal until the fangs came out. Johnny didn't look even vaguely "normal", and any really "normal" person would have been put off by his appearance - and certainly wouldn't have been tempted to kiss him. Put some more thought into your next one, Mr. Burton!
