Dark Shadows: Synopsis
In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet--or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy...until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), to help with her family troubles. Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth's ne'er-do-well brother, Roger Collins, (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz); and Roger's precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath). The mystery extends beyond the family, to caretaker Willie Loomis, played by Jackie Earle Haley, and David's new nanny, Victoria Winters, played by Bella Heathcote.

Ok, maybe I was wrong. It's up to a little over 50 now. We'll just have to wait and see.

Ooops. ***? after 40***

It went up to 40. Once it's released it's more likely to drop. I predict it ends up somewhere in the 30's overall.

@ghostman That's unfortunate.

@themoviefanatic That doesn't help the score. Normal everyday people can't make the score go up. Rottentomatoes only count actual movie critics.

@ghostman I think its score will go up when its released to theaters, because by then people will be giving their own personal reviews on it and ratings for it.

@bawnian-dexeus It needs (if my math is correct) 7 Fresh reviews out of every 10 Rotten reviews to have the score go up one percent.

@ghostman That's still not good. I could understand 60% and wait and see, but that's not the case

@bawnian-dexeus @corey Seems like @themoviefanatic was right: RT score went up to 40%.

@corey I'd wait for blu-ray release to check it out, but I might end up seeing it in theaters.
@themoviefanatic What makes you think the score will go up?

Which is what I expected. Everything about this movie looks bad....it had potential, but eh...

@themoviefanatic Don't expect it to go up too high...lol. It's at a 17. If it had a 50-ish then yes it could go up to a fresh score. But a 17? Ya, looks like Shadows is staying low...

@corey I'll give Frankenwinie a chance. Childhood favorite so I'm interested in seeing the remake

@ghostman I think its score will eventually go up, when it is released to theaters on May 11th.

@corey I think it looks like it could possibly be good. It doesn't looks as bad as i originally thought it was going to be.

@themoviefanatic It has a 17% what makes you think it will go higher in score? In fact if it does go up it will probably be 35%.

@themoviefanatic It won't go up to a fresh score...at least, I hope it doesn't and doubt that it will.

@bawnian-dexeus You don't think it will change and go up to a higher score?

@themoviefanatic @bawnian-dexeus This movie does look pretty bad....I could tell by the trailers Burton has lost his touch. Frankieweenie looks even worse...

@bawnian-dexeus In 3 days when it's released, that will probably change.

Already started with a low score. Looks like Burton has begun to loose his spark
