Better watch out! I'm not the type for boyfriends. I've been bad news all my life ...

One of the worst tv adaption to big screen yet. This film has none of the fun & campiness of the tv show. But does manage to give us boring scenery chewing performances from Depp & Michelle Pfeiffer. Changing the story and character relationships didn't help either.

Pfeiffer's performance wasn't very scenery chewing. She wasn't in it that much either. This was another tired Burton/Depp movie. share
another tired Burton/Depp movie? LOL, do they have any?

It's recognized as being an alternate reality. It was referenced in a Big Finish audio drama. share

What a dreadful post!
shareI watched the show when it was originally broadcast and I was in high school. I had a couple of laughs and enjoyed the Seventies songs. But the writers could have done a lot of better things. I remember when the show was broadcast live and seeing a piece of fluff fly into the Reverend's mouth in mid-rant and Barnabus having trouble getting one of his fangs to descend. And the cursed Collinwood fly!
Get me a bromide! And put some gin in it!
hey stop trashing this movie! Don't you know there's plenty of people in America with no taste? They have as much right to enjoy crap like this as anyone else does who likes good films!
Yes, I do sound and act like a petulant child. And I own a gun.
I just came here because 1. I hate the look of this movie from the cringe-worthy promos I saw and 2. I had EPONYMOUS news to give you all.
but I gotta say this movie looks terrible, I expected better from Tim Burton. Sure he makes weird sh't that it kinda pretentious, but he's a free spirit innhe? For him to make a run-of-the-mill piece of shchlock, putting a dent in Jonny Depps (until now) impeccable career (yeah that's right, his chanachactafactory role was good, I liked it, go fudge yourself, pun intended) is unforgivable.
random typical 'disappear in a crowd' common as bread crumbs teenage girl: "Are you stoned?""
Jonny Depp in make up (jee, that narrows it down): "They tried stoning me, it did not work."
HAHAHAHAH no.
Completely Agree !!
But what's up with Johnny Depp or old "serious like drama" being comedies now ?
Anyone know ? Because if 21 Jump Street was a serious show, it was a highly rated comedy remake ? I thought it was pretty stupid. I had the same feeling about this and I haven't gotten passed the first 20-30 mins. 6.2 rating well let me help change that.
