Title: What Were They Thinking?
Product review: Big fan of Tim Burton, Johnny Deep and even bigger fan of Dark Shadows. I had bad feelings about this movie when I saw the trailers, but thought I'd stay open minded. Didn't go to the theater to see it after all of the bad reviews, but decided to rent it on Blu-ray when released. Was not worth the wait. Very disconnected from the original series, not the same mood or tone, characters totally different from the series. Didn't mind it being up dated or re-imagined, but this mess of a film that did everything wrong. Did the creator's ever see the original series? The music from the series is iconic, but there was not a single refrain in the score. Over the past 50 years Bond films, while being updated, retain something of the original. This film was more of a parody, more Saturday Night Live skit, than a new vision of Dark Shadows. Complete waste of time!
