"Oh dear, avoid if you aren't a musical fan"
1 stars"

I was fortunate enough to miss seeing this and paying cinema prices to see when it was on at the movies but my curiosity got the better of me as the story sounded interesting. So i got the dvd. Big mistake, this movie has promise, it is a dark tale and could have been rather good had it not been for the music.

They start singing all the time, its not just the odd song which could have been tolerable. These actors aren't singers so its sounds really bad. A short appearance by Sacha Baron Cohen and his hilarity isn't enough to save this movie.

"Beautiful dark musical"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Sweeney Todd is a dark romance, filled with gory humour and beautiful music. Not for the squeamish. Believable acting makes this an enjoyable movie for fans of musicals. The themes are similar to Phantom of the Opera.

Gore-gous!

Description

Sweeney Todd – The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (2 Disc Set)

Evil Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman) lusts for the beautiful wife of a London barber (Johnny Depp) and transports him to Australia for a crime he did not commit. Returning after 15 years and calling himself Sweeney Todd, the now-mad man vows revenge, applying his razor to unlucky customers and shuttling the bodies down to Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter), who uses them in her meat-pie shop. Though many fall to his blade, he will not be satisfied until he slits Turpin's throat.

  • Best Picture (Comedy or Musical) Golden Globe Winner 2007.
