Opisy(1)
W 1750 roku Joshua i Naomi Collins razem z synem o imieniu Barnabas wyruszyli w rejs z Anglii do Ameryki, aby tam zacząć nowe życie. Na miejscu, w Collinsport — nadmorskim miasteczku w stanie Maine — zbudowali rybne imperium. Po dwudziestu latach okazuje się, że Barnabas (Johnny Depp) zawojował cały świat. Ma właściwie wszystko: posiadłosć Collinwood Manor, bogactwo, wpływy i sławę notorycznego podrywacza, do czasu, kiedy popełnia straszny błąd — zakochuje się w pięknej Josette DuPres (Bella Heathcote) i tym samym łamie serce Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). Angelique, czarownica, w każdym znaczeniu tego słowa, skazuje go na los gorszy od śmierci: zmienia w wampira, a następnie chowa ... żywcem. (Warner Bros. PL)

Irresistible costumes, makeup and vivid colors create a cute floral seventies atmosphere (with great opening credits).
There are a few cute references and allusions, but you would expect more from Johnny Depp’s ancient vampire’s interactions
with the modern world. Dark Shadows is an eccentric film that attempts to pay homage to all kinds of things Burton likes,
but it’s surprisingly not very funny and the characters are just iconic figures in a story that won’t absorb you. It’s a stylish
farce that looks good but has no heart or emotion. Tim Burton seems to be drying up, which is a shame. It reminded me
of Death Becomes Her.

Tim Burton's dumbest and most boring film, and I say that as a great admirer of his. So, let's summarize. Typical Burton goofy humour? There’s none of it. Burton's famous bizarre visual styling? Non-existent. The always so distinctive music of Elfman? I didn’t catch it. Immersive plot? Plot? What plot? So what the hell, at least some minor tidbits, like Barnabas's confrontation with modern times? Criminally underused. I'll let Barnabas's fangs bite me if I'm making this up, but these were my two longest hours at the movies in years.

Burton fizzled out and there was nothing left but a bunch of make up, pretty sets and once emotive themes. More than anything else, the character of Barnabas is an unintentional authorial self-reflection by a filmmaker who, since Sweeney Todd, has been copying himself and chasing the ghosts of the past.

Congratulations to Tim Burton for once again managing to make a bad film. And this time he tried really hard. Not a bit of darkness. Under the surface, another annoying wannabe stylish crap with a heavily made-up Johnny in the main role and an elite cast that has nothing to do under Burton’s direction. Awful, the only good thing is the soundtrack.

It's such a shame that just when most viewers ran out of patience with Tim Burton, Dark Shadows came along. I actually like the master of strangeness, and the story of Barnabas Collins seems better to me than the quickly fading Alice or even more Burton-esque Sweeney Todd. There are a lot of oddities happening at Collinwood that amaze me with the director's imagination, or I can hardly resist laughing. Johnny Depp works perfectly as an atypical protagonist without batting an eye, and the rest of the film is stolen by the pubescent princess Chloe Moretz even in a smaller space. Riding the waves of Elfman's soundtrack, I made it to 90% with a slight reservation for distance and further projection, which a few years later confirmed that the rarely appreciated spectacle got stuck on the turbulent cliffs at that time.
