    Definately a good movie.

     by  hogbiker

    Tim Burton's foray into musicals is pretty good. I expected it to be something along the lines of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" which I felt was tepid.

    I mean the fact that the cast was stellar (hell...anything with Alan Rickman is pretty much worth it), they can actually SING and that Tim did not detract from the play in both intent and spirit made it a enjoyable.

    Depp's and Burton's Best

    I only came to the theater only to see, not for the blood and gore but to see a film by Tim Burton that stars one of my favorite actors Johnny Depp. I still wanted Johnny to win the Oscar for best actor for this film instead of the yes most talented actors of all time Daniel Day Louis but COME ON ! !

    Only because of Johnny

     by  BethanyRuth08

    This movie was wonderfully done by all involved! My only reason for not giving it a higher rating is probably due to the story itself. I had never heard of it prior to watching the movie. I was very impressed with Depp's vocals. Yet again, he has stretched himself to a new level in the performance industry; and just when I thought he couldn't go any higher. If one is a Johnny Depp fan, then this is a "Go!" movie, or what I would call a "Must See"; however, if not, then I advise one to familiarize himself with the storyline prior to entering into Burton's marvelous world of dark drama.

    Sweeney Todd Review

     by  rocketjsl357

    visually outstanding, terrific acting!!! not my type of film by nature but this one is bloody good. unfortunately the focus goes more towards bloodletting than actual character development about halfway through the film ... Burton paints a dark and uncompromising atmosphere. (4/5 stars)
