The first thing I noticed about this movie is that the method of turning into a vampire was different from most movies, tv shows or books iv'e seen. Having Barnabas being turned via a curse was intriguing and I wanted to know how he would break it.

The movie took a while to get going, and until it was about an hour in, it was relatively boring with few funny moments or action sequences. It was still funny with some visual gags and the sarcasm displayed by Barnabas however, not in regards to living up to the hype.

The acting was still good and if you like Johnny Depp you might as well still watch it as it is entertaining. Just not one of Tim Burton's best.
