Dark Shadows (2012) - a review

Dark Shadows Trailer 2012 HD Johnny Depp - YouTube: ""


*{disclaimer: i am not a movie critic, i lack the skills,
talent and knowledge to make a meaningful contribution
to cinematic criticism. but like every asshole on the planet
i do have an opinion. what follows is my personal impression
of a film just recently watched.}*

Dark Shadows (2012)

ugggh!
 quite possibly the WORST movie i've watched this year.

to be frank the official trailer is a much better movie
 than the full-legnth time-waster.

 {i suspect that the same will be true of the upcoming
 "Frankenweenie" remake. why revisit?}

  what? has Tim Burton finally jumped the shark?

visually the film is stunning, exactly what Tim Burton
 delivers consistently.

the Cast? top-notch.
 Johnny Depp delivers more punch with
 a raised eye-brow than most actors do with an entire script.

Michelle Pfeiffer very hot and fully invested.

Helena Bonham Carter, what can i say? wifey delivers, though
 the added-weight costume was extremely distracting. :-(

the same high-quality acting from Jackie Earle Haley, though
 in his case, i kept thinking Rorschach(Watchmen)

Eva Green, Bella Heathcote,
 and coming along nicely Chloe Grace Moretz
 are all drop-dead gorgeous and unbelievably
 adept  actors!

throw into the mix: the king of vampires, Christopher Lee;
rocker Alice Cooper looking forty years younger,
 and you have to ask yourself: why does this movie suck so much?

well,
i'm no critic, but i believe that this film doesn't
 make up its mind what it wants to be. is it camp? yes, at times.
 is it funny? in bits and pieces it is. is it horror? just barely.

it tries to ring all these bells and fails not because
the movie lacks talent, but because it lacks focus.

i would've preferred to save my Jackson and wait
for the TV spot three years from now.

everything good about this film
 is already on the official trailer . . .

what a disappointment.

:-(

THE AVENGERS (2012)





*{disclaimer: i am not a movie critic, i lack the skills,
talent and knowledge to make a meaningful contribution
to cinematic criticism. but like every asshole on the planet
i do have an opinion. what follows is my personal impression
of a film just recently watched.}*


THE AVENGERS (2012).


THE AVENGERS is a movie that begins with a car chase, fireworks,
explosions, load noises and . . . did i mention . . . fireworks? yes.


what can one say about a movie that follows up a car chase scene with
one where Scarlett Johansen in a tight little black dress is bound to
a chair and smacked about by a proto-fascist in a true S&M bondage homage.


well.


i suppose one can say the movie is . . . entertaining?


if you find this description of the opening enticing, then you are sure to
find THE AVENGERS a fun two hours.


if not, do not lose faith, Josh Whedon's screenplay and story saves this film by injecting
a good dose of snappy humor - since this humor is the only thing standing
between THE AVENGERS and your standard summer flick, i'll spare you
the spoilers.


Robert Downey, Jr. has honed his ego-centric Stark/Iron Man schtick
to the point where a sequel, IMIII, is a surety. hopefully we'll get to see more of
barefoot Gwyneth Paltrow in Daisy-Duke-Shorties than her scant cameos
in AVENGERS.


now for the good part. THE HULK.


this movie should have been entitled
THE INCREDIBLE MORPHING HULK AND HIS PUNY . . . er, uhm, . . . SUPER-FRIENDS.
i say Incredible MORPHING Hulk because incredibly, as the film progresses,
the Hulk gets smarter! don't ask. there is no explanation.


in any case, The Hulk carries the action to a point that one wonders
if the Black Widow will shove her weapon up her ass for all the good
it does. in fact, i half expected her to shove the gun up Captain America's
ass once his campy star-spangled underoos wore me down.


so, if this is destined to be the Best Super-Hero movie of 2012,
i'll not be looking forward to the Spider-Man Reboot nor to Broke-Back Batman.




Confession: when THE AVENGERS comes out on DVD i WILL watch it again;
I'll skip to the one scene that merits the Jackson price of admission:
an pissed-in-my-pants-funny exchange between the Hulk and Loki.
 'nuff said.
