I Absolutely love this movie got it for the best price possible buying it from Best Buy!

I would recommend this movie to anyone that loves old classics

Very good movie, not completely child appropriate but would definitely recommend

Not a big fan of Johnny Depp's latest work, but this is a good movie. The cast is great, and the plot flows. Best Buy had the best price for this movie.

this movie is one of my favorite watch it once a year vary good copy

The film works fairly well. The funny bits are funny and the scary bits are... well, I guess they could unnerve some people. Burton's usual color scheme is in effect, so expect a lot of dark colors with red highlights. The cinematography was a pleasant surprise, as the shots tend to be very much in the style of old Hammer Horror films (Horror film buffs should keep an eye out for shots that resemble some of your old favorites). The soundtrack is a nice mix of Danny Elfman's score and 70s rock. This is used to great effect throughout the movie (most notably Nights in White Satin). The film is not Burton's best, nor is it Depp's (Both of which would be Ed Wood in my opinion). It is an entertaining film, nothing particularly special... but there's a sense of nostalgia to it... Both for fans of the show and old Burton fans.

Depp and the crew really did a great job on this portrayal of dark love storytelling.

This movie is really great and an awesome performance from Johnny depp

i love the movie very funny and i got my digital copy

"Dark Shadows" is Tim Burton's take on the TV show of the same name and a really cool one, at that. Great cast and a cameo of Alice Cooper. Doesn't get much better. Johnny Depp continues a successful partnership with Tim Burton which began with "Ed Wood" back in the early 90's. Check this movie out.

Important qualifier - I have never seen an episode of the Dark Shadows TV series. This is my one and only exposure to the Dark Shadows world and I'm sure it is little-to-nothing like the source material. This is your typical Burton-Depp-Bonham Carter collaboration. Dark, darkly-funny, and darkly-weird. Though this collaboration also gets the amazing benefit of Michelle Pfeiffer and Eva Green's on-screen presence. I thought it was loads of fun for pure escapist viewing. If you are looking for something that pays direct tribute to the series, it's my understanding that you will be disappointed.

As ridiculous as it is, I still love the simplicity of this movie. Just a great movie to watch and not have to think about. Johnny Depp is is usual self and I love how is personality adds to the role. This is not an award winning movie by any means! Nothing too scary, but there are quite a few risque references so it might not be appropriate for the young.

I have really liked some Tim Burton movies, Batman, Sleepy hollow, mars attacks, and Beetlejuice. And I've disliked others a lot, planet of the apes, demon barber, etc. I really liked Dark Shadows. I think it's Depp's best performance in a long time. I am growing tired of him being in every Burton movie. But I think this one is great. I

everytime tim burton and johnny depp make a movie you can almost tell its gonna be dark. the fact that they are able to take a average soap opera and revive it 40 years later just goes to show you that you don't need a 100 million dollar budget to make a good movie. acting was great and the special effects were right up the burton avenue. all in all a good mature family comedy

Johnny Depp at his best as the head of fading family estate; oh and he happens to be a vampire. Filled with great jokes and interesting cast. A great movie for a rainy afternoon when you want something different from the usual movie fair. The more you watch it, the more you appreciate the subtlety of the humor. Looks like the cast had great fun filming.

Some like him. Some don't. But if you like vampires, camp, and don't mind remakes too much, you might like Dark Shadows. Johnny's Barnabas Collins finds himself stranded in the present and has to find his balance, all the while fighting the witch who put him in this position. Does he find love again? Watch it and find out.
