      Anyway, I still love it.

      Finally finished watching the "Dark Shadows" I was thinking about! ! In fact, I personally think that the reason why this movie is not so good is that the pacing is too fast. After all, it is a bit difficult to compress the more than 1600 episodes of the series in less than two hours to finish the story. Uncle Pu is so busy that he has to fight witches, fall in love, rectify the family business, and sell cuteness from time to time.
      In short, there is Tim, and there is the gothic style of...

      Beautiful witch and silly vampire

      To tell the truth, it's really bad, but it's very fun!

      Whether it's the slightly contradictory background music, Depp's stupid and cute performance, or the earth-shattering love, I originally watched it with a dark and depressed mood.

      There is also the heroine who plays soy sauce. There are some far-fetched emotional lines in the movie. Isn't this setting Depp a scumbag? Looking...

      dark comedy

      The picture is beautiful~ Crazy call for Eva's costume inside! It's so pretty! Eva is so beautiful and sexy, how can such a beautiful villain hate it all the time? In the heart-digging scene, she still really loves Barnabas, the distorted love, the gothic love. Tim Burton's consistent gothic style, pictures, makeup. A bit of a modern and classical collision feeling, very funny and relaxed film. But I still prefer the pure classical Gothic style. Maybe because of the TV adaptation? Not too...

      Angelique~Women of the New Era under Magicalism

      Domineering and slightly melancholy eyes, sexy and slightly angry red lips, a mermaid-like waist and a head of blond hair make people feel that the character Angelique played by Eva Green perfectly interprets a person with appearance, connotation, and daring to act. A daring, strong and resolute, independent, charming, affectionate and righteous new era pinnacle successful woman. But behind every...

      It's not a great one, but it's a decent one. Just look at the face)

      I came to see Depp. Overall, the ending is a he+ open ending. It's not particularly brilliant, it should be for the length of the film, and some parts of the explanation are a little abrupt. Although all the puzzles were solved at the end, it still felt like a rushed ending.

      It's okay to have awkward characters, a witch who loves the male protagonist paranoidly and distortedly, a vampire who plays with witches' emotions and is obsessed with true love and loves her family very much. (←...

      After playing Kick-off and then playing Dark Shadows, Chloe Moretz seems to be the next Portman. In front of the four generations of actresses in the old "Michelle Pfeiffer", "Bang Carter", Qing "Eva Green", and Tong "Morris", Depp has completely become a decoration. Don't worry about the plot, just appreciate the charms of the four generations of...

      Personally, I still like it. Maybe because I had no expectations for Tim Burton, I was waiting to be entertained by Diablo. It was really good entertainment. Completely blinded by Eva Green, she couldn't take her eyes off her perfect figure for a second. As for Johnny Depp...why make his head look like a...

      As a Tim Burton and Johnny Depp work, it doesn't qualify! ! ! But Eva Green is so beautiful! ! !...

      It was a comedy. . . There are a lot of laughs, the golden combination of Tim Burton + Depp, but unfortunately this time there is no word of mouth and box office in exchange, I don’t know if it is a poor skill or a capsize in the...

    Background creation

    After filming "Alice in Wonderland", which used a lot of green screen and special effects, the old pair of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp re-entered the road of dark, depressive and Gothic movies. This film is a remake of the ABC TV series of the same name half a century ago, using computer special effects extensively.
    Director Tim Burton invited actors such as Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Christopher Lee, Michelle Pfeiffer and Chloe...
