I was one of those who used to run home from kindergarten to see the original on our family's only TV. In fact, I specifically chose the morning session of kindergarten so I could watch it; I'll always remember the closing scene with the hand bursting out of a grave...
I'm also one of those that thinks Tim Burton should be a DP or cinematographer and never be allowed to direct a movie again. And even more heretical, I don't even care for Johnny Depp, who's facial tic-filled acting style works wonderfully as Captain Jack Sparrow but comes off as hammy in everything else.
No, there's no chance I'll see this, because it's not even an attempt at "Dark Shadows." And because it's made by a director who makes visually striking movies while forgetting to tell a good story. And because it has a star whose twitchy face isn't enough to make me think he's a talented actor.
