 Dark Shadows - Burton's best since Sleepy Hollow MY REVIEWhttp://www.worldofkj.com/article.php?i=718Itt handily tops everything else that came inbetween. Best point of comparison here - Beetlejuice. Haven't seen Big Fish, though. Some things are still off and the ending could be better, but it is a lot of fun.

Re: Dark Shadows - Burton's best since Sleepy Hollow It was clear when the trailer was released that Dark Shadows would be more Beetlejuice than Sleepy Hollow, but it's nice to know for certain. And I'm even more excited to see it now knowing this and after listening to the score some over the past few weeks.

Re: Dark Shadows - Burton's best since Sleepy Hollow The soundtrack for the film is great.

Re: Dark Shadows - Burton's best since Sleepy Hollow Are there any significant veins of Anne Rice style melancholy-vampire drama to be found here? Or is it a straight-ahead fish-out-of-water comedy as the trailers suggest?

Re: Dark Shadows - Burton's best since Sleepy Hollow David wrote: Are there any significant veins of Anne Rice style melancholy-vampire drama to be found here? Or is it a straight-ahead fish-out-of-water comedy as the trailers suggest? First half of the movie - purely fish-out-of-water stuff. Second half - Bettlejuice-like Melancholy drama? Not really, but it doesn't shy away from having Depp's character kill innocent people just for their blood (sufficiently bloody too for a PG-13 film). He mentions hating being a monster and all, but it is really not given much weight at all. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: Dark Shadows - Burton's best since Sleepy Hollow Awesome. I was getting concerned by the complete lack of reviews four days before release.

Re: Dark Shadows - Burton's best since Sleepy Hollow Big Fish is good. I don't remember a thing about it, but I remember it was good.

Re: Dark Shadows - Burton's best since Sleepy Hollow BTW, Dark Shadows features cameos by Christopher Lee and Alice Cooper.

Re: Dark Shadows - Burton's best since Sleepy Hollow No reviews up on RT and MC is worrisome, but all the pre-screening reviews I've skimmed have been very positive. Just one seemed a little mixed in saying Depp outshines the material again, but that's hardly a negative.

Re: Dark Shadows - Burton's best since Sleepy Hollow From what I read, though there appears to be some sort of an embargo in the US that does not exist here.
