Review of Dark Shadows (2012) by Oxana — 23 Aug 2014
Strong 3 stars, although a bit of a disappointment. Well, the rating is due to that disappointment...
I was looking forward to seeing Johnny Depp on the big screen once again.

I was looking forward to seeing Johnny Depp on the big screen once again.
As the trailer promised, the movie was plenty of fun while putting a bit of a twist on the familiar vampiric tale - but somewhere around the halfway point of the movie the story started to go downhill fast. I have no idea what caused those ridiculous things. For one, Angelique slowly but steadily ruined to movie by going over to top with her revenge. There were some other family revelations that came out of nowhere, for no apparent reason, and in general the plot just fell apart and killed the enjoyment level of the "big showdown" in the end.
Lots of laughs and fun but they really should have stuck with what they started and not let the story run away the way it did.
