Burton Disappoint's

Rating: 5/10 (8 August 2012)

An imprisoned vampire, Barnabas Collins, is set free and returns to his ancestral home, where his dysfunctional descendants are in need of his protection.
I'm a Tim Burton fan, I'll admit it. So, I was looking forward to Dark Shadows. At the beginning it start's off really well, but by the end of the film I left the theater disappointed. It's Tim Burton film so you know Johnny Depp is in it, and he is a entertaining lead as usual. Eva Green was over the top, but also entertaining. Like all of Burton's films it's very pretty to look at. Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, Jackie Earle Haley & Chole Moretz feel very under used. The chick that played Barnabas's love interest, Bella Heathcote is a bit bland actress. The main reason why this is such a disappointed is because once the film hit's the party scene it got way to confusing and the rest was downhill from there. I wanted to like this, but I could not,C+.
