I have yet to be disappointed by the pairing of Depp and Burton, and Sweeney Todd is no exception. Dark, bloody, black humor and even the music is good. A great supporting cast (especially Sacha Baron Cohen) make this a dark pleasure. |

Great Burton, Wonderful Musical |
|
I've always had this weird love for Tim Burton movies, and somehow I knew that Sweeney Todd would be just as good, if not better, than all the rest.
The story of Sweeney Todd is wonderful, eerie, and down right gory. I loved the way the story progressed, along with how the characters developed. The little ways the characters reacted to each other made the story even better with each second. Even if the characters were slightly different, the story would still be wonderful.
The characters really do help the story move along. The characters are realistic, but at the same time, they're really far from the world. The way that Sweeney Todd acts through the movie is really interesting. I especially love the way that he interacts with Mrs. Lovett. There's just something about their interac... |

Great Musical |
|
I loved listing to "Sweeney Todd" music before the movie was first picked up. The music was wonderful and brought out by the fantastic singers that were chosen first. When I heard Tim Burton was picking up the musical and making it into a movie, I was ecstatic. This kind of musical was right down Tim Burton's alleyway.
The artistry and actors that went into "Sweeney Todd" still amazes me. Tim Burton does a really good job of picking actors that work well for the roles that they're portraying. Along with these actors, he films them well and brings to life a world that seems so real that I feel I'm there with them.
With "Sweeney Todd" the music sung was done beautifully. I loved the way the actors sounded by themselves and with the other actors. Along with the music, the actors outsid... |

Tim Burton offers a brilliant, dark, spectacular envisioning of Stephen Sondheim's brilliantly crafted gothic musical "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street." I saw this play on stage, produced for a live stage version, and now its come full circle into an Academy Award-nominated film. Wonderful.
The take is artistic, graphic, and amazing with brilliant lead actors Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Timothy Spall. Oh, the little kid who plays Tobie is great too. See this movie with an open heart, mind, and menacing leer. |
