Went to see this largely for Johnny Depp. I thought it was more for teenagers enjoying the current crop of vampire films which are not like our Hammer horror films of old and no relation to Bram Stoker's vision. Although there was lots of action and effects and I do love batty Helena Bonham Carter it was a bit slow and predicatable. Nice to see a little cameo of Christopher Lee (seated and hairy - 2 sentences only - he is about 89/90 I believe). a warm comfortable cinema and tea biscuits on a cold and rainy day is lovley but wait for the DVD.

I love JD but I fear he has done too many similar roles now, so I won't be going to the cinema for this.
