I must admit, if you are not familiar with Dark Shadows you may not enjoy this movie as much. Tim Burton has provided us with his interpretation and adaptation of a cult classic gothic soap from the 1960's. I really enjoyed this film as it had all the Tim Burton elements that make it uniquely Tim Burton. Depp portrayed Barnabas exquisitely and paid due homage to the late Jonathan Frid (who has a cameo in the film!) I would not be so harsh and forgo the film but watch it for yourself and pass your own judgement. You may want to get some background knowledge of the original series from the 1960's and the revival from 1991 to better help you understand this creative world of Dark Shadows!

Tim Burton gives us a visual treat with a lot of laughs. Johnny Drop is perfect in his portrayal of the hapless vampire and the several leading ladies are great too. Too bad the movie was released in spring (of all times!).
The blu ray at least was released in October. What were these Hollywood distribuers thinking???
Any way it has its over the top moments but is not took silly so that you can ennjoy the gothic aspects.

This is another Tim Burton movie. This movie was a bit far fetched, but my husband and I still enjoyed to watch it. All the actors played their rolls well, and it was kind of interesting to see Michelle Pfeiffer play a more 'motherly' role instead of the 'nasty' rolls we have usually seen her play. Although we hadn't seen any of the series of "Dark Shadows" we knew it was based on the series. I think it to be a good "Halloween" movie to watch for when Halloween comes around, but if we had a choice as to which one was better, we think that would be "Corpse Bride". Also, another movie with Michelle Pfeiffer that we saw just recently that was also a kind of Halloween theme was Stardust, of which she also played her roll well here too. All in all, we would recommend "Dark Shadows", if you want a fun Halloween movie to watch on October 31st.

Bof! Il faut aimer le genre.
Jonny Depp, la seule raison de l'achat du film finalement.
Ce film n'est pas ce que je pourrais qualifier de chef-d'oeuvre...loin de là.

Johnny Depp is the only good ting about this
I was dissappointed by this movie. Johnny Dep was excellent but the movie was not well writtten. He didn't have much to work with but he tried.

Poor story development...
Time Burton is a great director and he still proves it in this movie. The cast is also perfect! There are many funny parts and the images, specially the castle, are often... Read more

Almost!
I hate admitting this...I think his movie just missed the mark. It has some great moments but overall didn't meet up to the promise I saw in the previews. A shame... Read more

Enjoyable for something different but not my thing. Of course it is nice to see Johnny Depp and Michelle Phifer is as beautiful as ever.

This is definitely not one of johnny depp's best choices for a movie. It had it's humorus momounts but it was too far from the original.

Bad bad bad
I used to watch Dark Shadows on TV. This movie was a complete sham. So many good actors...so much bad acting. Glad it was on sale.
