...combines fish-out-of-water comedy with a love triangle that spans two centuries and threatens to replay itself for all eternity.

...closer to what you expect from Burton: darkness, quirk and Johnny Depp on great form.

The new film from Tim Burton does something that is rarer than you might think. It whelms you. Its effect is whelming.

Der er masser af god stil og charmerende sjov i at sætte en 1700-tals vampyr sammen med hippietidens absolutte højdepunkt, og Burton henter mange visuelle gags ud af at følge vores selvoptagede vampyrs introduktion til den nye verden.

Det är harmlös underhållning i lyxförpackning med en lagom dos av både humor och skräck.
