What a disapointment....

With a perfect cast, perfect characters, and perfect and exciting trailer what could have gone wrong? Well sadly, everything. Dark shadows is very hard to follow. Half the time, you don't even know what's going on . I don't think the characters do either. It is full of filler/fluff and way to much is going on at the same time.It is a train wreck. The set up and intro was great, but after that it went downhill. But the acting was great, the humor was great and that's what kept me going through out the movie. I think Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Tim Burton in collaoration are always outstanding.... But this let me down.. Only reason it gets 2 1/2 stars. This just shows you what happens when you try and take a TV series and turn into a 2 hour movie.
