Title: The best parts were in the previews.
Product review: This was not one of Tim Burton's best. Admittedly, I'm not a fan of recent revivals of old films and series that are basically comedic takes on the original subjects. A revived "Dark Shadows" could be a great series, or even a mini-series (heck, there was a good mini-series a few years back), but you simply can't squeeze anything of consequence from the hundreds of hours of the series into a sub-two-hour movie. Whole parts of the story line just don't make sense. Admittedly, there are a few well delivered lines that will make you chuckle (with Johnny Depp, how could you expect otherwise), but over all, as said in the header of the review, the best parts were in the previews. Stream it for a couple bucks if you're simply curious, but don't expect much. It won't be added to my collection.
