Dark Shadows

Let me say up front: I am not a fan of Tim Burton movies.

However, I am a fan of Johnny Depp and the new Dark Shadows movie.  I totally loved the over the top story of a vampire locked away for 200 years and finds myself in 1972!  This is a movie where the humor really works. As a matter of fact I didn't even worry about the plot and story. Watching Depp's vampire character figure out his new world was a hoot.  I even thought the story got in the way at the end and got a little serious when I wanted more crazy.  It has well acted, well conceived and loads of fun.

I give it ***1/2 stars. 

2012 Movie #16

FYI  IF the ticket prices get much higher, I expect to see my name on the credits as a Producer!
