I'm a Johnny Depp fan and I must say that Dark Shadows, at first, appeared to be a reprisal of Johnny Depp's role as Edward Scissorhands.
After watching it, I must say I am floored by what this movie brings. It brought to mind Shakespeare, a tragedy with a tinge of comedy, yet it wasn't as tragic as it was beautiful. Perhaps, if you would indulge me, a beautiful tragedy.
Most of all, it was a surprise hearing the music of the 70's come alive on the movie, especially one with a most handsome vampire. But I utterly loved Dark Shadows, for Tim Burton's genius in movie-making, the surprises at each corner, both in storyline and music, making this a most fun movie to watch.
Definitely 9/10 stars!
