Title: Better Luck Next Time
Product review: It's ok but a little disappointing. Tim Burton has a tendency to go too far from the original product on remakes. He did so with Planet of The Apes, which was even a greater disappointment. In his treatment of Dark Shadows, it was too obvious that Barnabas Collins was a creature of the night and no mystery that he was a vampire. Johnny's makeup from the get go was pasty white. Johnny has always picked parts that are off color. That is why I like him, but I was hoping he would have been a little more enigmatic with the character as Jonathan Frid was in the sixties TV soap opera. And maybe that was what was missing from the film. It should have retained a "soap opera" trait about it. It does seem to be left open for a sequel. Let's just hope if there is one, that it will be more exciting to watch.
