Dark Shadows (2012)
7/10
Mediocre, but with excellent production
24 March 2023
To begin with, this film has good technical details and is visually acceptable. The production design is good, the soundtrack composed by Danny Elfman is also acceptable, the effects are not bad and I really liked Johnny Depp's vampire appearance. Another thing that I cannot miss is the character of Eva Green, since to be honest she is very succulent and it was difficult to take your eyes off her. The look of the movie is fine, but the movie itself is something else. It is supposedly a black comedy and although I laughed a little when I saw it in the cinema, now I have to say that when I saw it again it didn't seem very good as a comedy. The jokes are not well balanced with the tone of the film and instead of being a laughable comedy, the truth is that it is somewhat boring. I think that without the jokes it might have been better, since it has serious moments that stand out. There's not much to add, because those who have seen it understand my point and the only excuse I have for watching this movie is because of the technical details and the cast and Eva Green. The only thing I can say about this movie is that I found it mediocre. Visually and technically it's not bad, but as a comedy movie it's not good. My rating for this movie is 7/10 and I would only watch it again to take in the visual quality and drool over Eva Green's sexy moments.
