Ranking: Every Tim Burton Movie From Worst To Best

18. Dark Shadows (2012)

Burton's attempt to reboot the 1970s gothic TV show into a big-screen franchise is the director at his most agonisingly lazy and soulless, evidently attempting to coast on Johnny Depp's kookiness but abjectly failing.

Most of the attempts at quirky humour fall woefully flat, terrific actors like Helena Bonham Carter, Chloe Grace Moretz and Michelle Pfeiffer are stranded with little to do, and from a stylistic perspective there's not even much to write home about, which in Burton's realm, really tells you just how bad it is.

Though the film has begun to enjoy a critical re-evaluation in recent years with many defending it as a satire of 1960s soap operas, a dull, unfunny film is still exactly that regardless of the label one might want to ascribe to it.

Best Moment: It's tempting to flippantly say the end credits, but the sexy fight between Depp and Eva Green (possibly the only actor who isn't totally wasted here) is actually a lot of fun.
