As much as I love Tim Burton's work, I'll admit that I'm also getting tired of his continoual collaborations with Johny Depp. That said......this actually looks like a lot of fun.

Holy crap... I've got absolutely no idea what to say here.

I mean, I'm not a fan of the original show by any means, but I can't help but feel sympathy for what my mom's gonna feel once she sees this.

[DaikaijuSokogeki!]

This looks like garbage. This is clearly from the Tim Burton I utterly despise, as opposed to Sweeney Todd and Ed Wood Tim Burton.

After seeing the trailer for Frankenweenie, I think Burton needs to take a decade off and stop making shit.

[DeadpoolsbetterThanU]

^Amen!

Tim Burton hasn't done a good thing since Corpse Bride and that's stretching it.

[Shadow]

You know, to tell you guys a secret about me... I'm named after this movie(The original I mean). I'm named after who Johny Depp is portraying.

[Drewzilla]

I'll admit that his work in the last decade hasn't been up to par with his work in the late 80's/early 90's, and that Alice in Wonderland was a major bomb even worse then Planet of the Apes. Still, I don't see the hate, Charley and the Chocolate Factory wasn't a classic but it worked, Sweeney Todd was a truly disturbing and well done Musical, and honestly this looks just fun. I'm interested to see his own take on the 70's era. Granted I think Frankenweenie might bet better because it looks to be a return to form for him, but I still don't see anything truly terrible about this, atleast this time he still has a hold on things unlike Alice where he just went all out and was a mess.

Charley and the Chocolate Factory wasn't a classic but it worked.

No. NO. NOOOOOO! The music was fine, but everything else wanted to make me tear out my ear canals, especially Depp's performance.

[wataru]

Everyone single person in Charlies and the Chocolate Factory, IMHO, outshined Depp. Depp came off as Michael Jackson with a funny hat.

[Tyler]

I was hoping for something somewhat serious like Sleepy Hollow or Sweeney Todd. Oh well. We need a good Universal/Hammer type vampire film.

I haven't seen the show or anything but this looks like it's just making fun of it. Why do all movies based on old shows have to do that? It's just insulting to the audience.

Frankenweenie looks a bit better.

[DeadpoolsbetterThanU]

Kill Tim Burton!
Now.

I think that was the point.

[Gorosaurus Rex]

It looks...okay. Some looked funny, and other parts...meh. Whatever happened to Tim Burton's Monsterpocalypse movie?

[wataru]

Does anyone younger then 30 even know what Dark Shadows is/was?

It's a SOAP OPERA!

[DeadpoolsbetterThanU]

^I know what it was. And what's your point? People under 30 can't watch soap opera's? I'm a General Hospital fan.

I watched General Hospital when it was cool! With Sarah Brown was Carley and before Jason wore a black t-shirt 24/7/365!

Is it bad that I'm about 10 years your junior and I know what you're talking about?

To be fair, Sarah Brown was Kaitlin star on VR Troopers.

Is it bad that I'm halfway between you two and I have no clue what the hell you're babbling about?

Its okay. We're talking about a show whose target audience is 25-80+ white females.
