Dark shadows review


Saw this on TV today and even before it was on, could say that it was a Tim Burton film; the name “dark shadows” told me. Burton was the obvious choice for directing this. An interesting film with loads of Gothic elements that sum up Burtons directing style perfectly but something was missing. Comparing this with his previous movies you can see (feel) what is missing. Although it looks promising in the beginning, it goes downhill from there. Johnny Depp is one hell of an actor but even he does not save this from mediocrity but does do what he is best at. It's not a bad film in any way but could have been better. Give it a whirl and see what you think.
