Dark Shadows' Review *This will contain some spoilers* I went to see 'Dark Shadows' starring Johnny Depp today and it was completely different to what I thought it would be- in a good way. Firstly, the trailer makes it seem like a comedy when in fact it was slightly terrifying, I was not prepared. Once I got over the fact that I was hiding my eyes a little, I could appreciate Tim Burton's fine work with this scene. Secondly, I don't think it should've been a 12A because of a few scenes, I found it quite hard to watch but that is just me and my weak stomach for you. The cast was amazing. Literally amazing. The producers and directors deserve a huge round of applause for their choices. They were perfect in my eyes. Johnny Depp was fabulous (as always), Helena Bonham Carter had a nice American accent going on, Eva Green was the best choice for her character, she was just the best. One character I wasn't sure about for a while was Chlöe Moretz's because I didn't really understand who she was until near the very end, but coming out of the cinema I now think that that was the impression she was meant to give, to be a mystery. The final battle scene was incredible. Everything was going on, werewolves, vampires, witches, fire- you name it, they probably had it. I was overwhelmed with emotions, I just wanted it to go on forever. The story in general was well planned and it was beautifully written, it had everything from tragic scenes to epic battles to comic moments. Overall, the film was one of the best I've seen. It was well worth seeing, and I'd happily go and see it again and I'll probably buy the DVD when it comes out. I'm giving this film 4/5 stars. I hope this helped somebody out or was just a delightful read for you.. Bye!
