NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

cricketbat Dark Shadows starts out fun, but it falls apart in the second half. As the end nears, this film takes a darker, more serious tone, which doesn't feel right after the fairly humorous beginning. It also throws in a bunch of seemingly irrelevant plot points and twists as the end nears. Nevertheless, it is visually entertaining and it has some some entertaining moments -- it's just not one of Tim Burton's best works.

Matt Greene I love the story writing and concepts, and even the idea behind it being dryly funny, but Burton is clearly struggling with control. Too square to be subversive and too lame to be funny, it's a fish-out-of-water macabre-comedy that's as pale as a man who sleeps in a coffin when compared to much better films (What We Do in the Shadows). A decent climax, nice gothic visuals, and Eva Green giving her all still can't bring life to this thing.

OneEightNine Media Man, This one reminds me of when Tim Burton was on top of his game, more or less. And I this not doing well so well with the critics but I liked it. Wish I saw it sooner but whatever. Anyway, the film is based on an old boring show from the 70s. They rebooted it as a comedy, just like what they did with 21 Jump St. The movie is about a rich European immigrant business man who was turned into a vampire by a witch who loved him, and stuffed in a coffin for a few hundred years, only to be freed during the 70s and help his descendants and blah, blah blah. Check it out, you'll laugh a few times. The ending is rushed. Final score, 7 out of 10.

A_Different_Drummer Lets be frank. If you had a dime for every time Hollywood took something dusty and old, and tried to turn it into something shiny and new, you could retire.In fact, most of these attempts barely work. But (having seen this one front to back three times since its first release) I believe this is an exception and moreover I believe that viewers have become so jaded to these attempts that they instinctively rebelled against the film (hence the low rating) without even giving it a chance.The script by Seth Grahame-Smith is witty and clever and engaging. And wonderfully demented. The cast is to die for. Eva Green and Johnny Depp are at the peak of their craft, delivering with a straight face bits of dialog that lesser actors would choke on. The ing cast (almost all A-list with a young Chloë Grace Moretz) is rock solid.Overall a delightfully deranged yet still entertaining exercise in being silly -- which is exactly what Hollywood aims for in these odd exercises.The IMDb rating is much too low. Give it another chance.
