this movie is one of the worst i have seen for a long time.

User review rating: 4 May 25, 2012

very tim burton. very creepy and weird, but i loved every minute of it.

User review rating: 3 May 25, 2012

movie cute, depp great, but fails to fulfil any genre, not a horror, not entirely a comedy, not enough vampire material for a movie based on a vampire...enjoyable to watch though.

as always, the tim burton - johnny depp duo made a direct hit to the funny bone. dialogue is witty and characters are well cast. michelle pfeiffer does an excellent job as the current matriarch of the collins family and helena bonham carter is a deliciously funny as the self-serving alcholic psychiatrist. i thorouly enjoyed this movie and will buy it when it is released on blu-ray / dvd.

johnny depp is suitable in movie but has a few silly movement.

User review rating: 4 May 25, 2012

strange.

User review rating: 3 May 24, 2012

spectacularly beautiful film with a hit or miss plot and a few interesting characters. can't make up its mind if it's high camp or gothic horror.

User review rating: 4 May 24, 2012

strange and dark.

User review rating: 5 May 24, 2012

loved this movie!!!! will be a classic in my opinion. i've always liked tim burton and i hope he continues to keep making great films.

User review rating: 4 May 24, 2012

very amusing movie. i like johny depp in this role, he is really good to do different role.

User review rating: 3 May 24, 2012

great special effects! story was a bit lacking!

User review rating: 4 May 24, 2012

this movie was really fun! i agree with some of the other reviews that dark shadows is a silly movie - but if you're in the mood for a silly movie, i recommend this one.

User review rating: 3 May 24, 2012

amazing visuals, though the plot felt like it was focusing on a much different story line than i had expected.

User review rating: 1 May 24, 2012

for such a great cast and a tim burton movie this was disappointing. not funny, and kind of silly.

User review rating: 2 May 24, 2012

the movie was alright, but the end ruined it for me. had they just stuck to the humor it would not have been so bad but it simply was trying to hard.

User review rating: 3 May 24, 2012

some funny parts but overall it was disappointing

User review rating: 2 May 24, 2012

mr.depp is amazing but the plot leaves much to be desired

User review rating: 4 May 24, 2012

quirky like tim burton.

User review rating: 1 May 24, 2012

i was very dissapointed with this movie. i was expecting a lot with it being a tim burton movie and with johnny depp but it was horrible. the trailer covered everything so you really dont even have to watch the movie. i would not waste my time and money in a theatre its a renter movie at best if you have to see it.

User review rating: 3 May 24, 2012

exspected a lot more from tim burton and johnny depp usually love their movies and found that all the funny parts you see in this movie are in the trailer

User review rating: 4 May 23, 2012

almost as good as the original.

User review rating: 4 May 23, 2012

many shades of grey.

User review rating: 4 May 23, 2012

it starts off kind of slow, but once you get into the feel of a tv soap-opera with the characters and plot, its all fun from there on. tim burton does not disappoint with his amazing use of effects and make-up, and as always, his devotion to johnny depp and helena bonham carter brings the level of enjoyment in this movie up to non-stop fun for anyone!

User review rating: 2 May 23, 2012

a lot of it just wasn't funny to me, and wasn't sure what the purpose was if i wasn't laughing.

User review rating: 5 May 23, 2012

i'm a devoted tim burton, johnny depp, and danny elfman fan, so this review is highly subjective. i've been waiting for this movie for a year, and i wasn't disappointed. it was a slightly slower pace than i expected, but i was fine with that. i'm also a little familiar with tv series it was based on, so that helped situate the characters and plot somewhat. the makeup, costumes, and cinematic shots were fabulous. i'll be buying this as soon as it comes out on dvd.

User review rating: 3 May 23, 2012

i watched the series of this show as a kid....

User review rating: 1 May 23, 2012

this movie was a waste of money.

User review rating: 4 May 23, 2012

i enjoyed this movie...i watched the soap opera of it many years ago....

User review rating: 4 May 23, 2012

i always enjoy any movie with johnny depp in it because he's such a versatile actor.

User review rating: 4 May 23, 2012

i found it commical in a very dark manner, well done acting on all the actors and actresses involved in the film. it did remind me of the monsters television series from when i was younger. it was a pleasant surprise and i enjoyed it very much.

User review rating: 5 May 23, 2012

i really enjoyed this movie. it was quite comical with a bit of vampire horror thrown in. johnny depp is as usual excellent as were the other main characters. i'm thinking they left the door open for a part 2 which would be great as the original dark shadows was a soap opera and they'd have plenty to work with.

User review rating: 3 May 23, 2012

it was watchable but kind of boring. not a huge fan.

User review rating: 2 May 23, 2012

johnny depp not at his best - i never watched the tv show, and i somewhat enjoyed the film, although i wouldn't recommend it to anybody or watch it ever again!

User review rating: 5 May 23, 2012

amusing and hilarious motion-picture! johnny depp is marvelous as usual, eva green is so hot and play very well as a witch character! love tim horton's movies!!! a must-buy collection!

User review rating: 4 May 23, 2012

this movie was good. there were many funny parts. unfortunately, i think i had way too high hopes. nothing can compare to "the nightmare before christmas", even though i'm always crossing my fingers that burton's next movie will.

User review rating: 3 May 23, 2012

anything with johnny depp is a must see. he portrayed the character well...a little slow in some parts and as usual all best the parts were showed in the trailers so didn't leave much in surprises

User review rating: 5 May 23, 2012

hilarious. just love johnny depp

User review rating: 3 May 23, 2012

johnny depp was enough invitation to watch this movie. we overheard a girl at the concession counter, shocked that we were headed to see dark shadows, ask another worker if 'those seniors know what that movie is about.' i used to come home from school to watch barnabas on tv in the '60s!! light-hearted version, fun to watch and slightly 'spoofy' with effects borrowed from other movies. good entertainment.

User review rating: 3 May 23, 2012

i use to run home from school to watch the original dark shadows series. i was prepared for the quirkiness of tim burton and had no expectations of it being like the series, and it wasn't. burton uses the storyline of the original series thinly and the movie was fun, with great special effects.

User review rating: 3 May 23, 2012

slower and less funny than expected, but still a good movie with great characters.

User review rating: 5 May 23, 2012

sooo much fun!!

User review rating: 3 May 23, 2012

expected better

User review rating: 3 May 23, 2012

light hearted make over of another vampire movie.

User review rating: 5 May 22, 2012

loved every second of it! was glad they didn't turn this into a spoof like so many tv-to-film adaptations these days.

User review rating: 4 May 22, 2012

johnny depp is great as the vampire trying to make sense of a changed world.

User review rating: 3 May 22, 2012

shadows of evil.

User review rating: 1 May 22, 2012

this movie has a lousy plot.

User review rating: 4 May 22, 2012

love this movie. quite different than the original series.

User review rating: 3 May 22, 2012

i'd have given a 3.5 if it was possible

User review rating: 3 May 22, 2012

i absolutely love johnny depp and his performance was awesome but i expected a bit more from this movie. it was not as funny as hoped and the ending went completely off the rails.
