"What a movie! "
5 stars"

Sweeney Todd has a tantalizing storyline with beautiful costumes and sets. The songs poetry make this the perfect musical that it is. As a massive Tim Burton fan I was expecting a great movie but it exceeded my expectations. The actors were picked perfectly (Helena Bonham carter and Jonny Depp) They work perfectly together and although they aren't singers they can sing just as good if not better than some celebrities. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys musicals because this is one musical you won't forget in a hurry.

"Great Film"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A really great musical, Johnny Depp is amazing

"Well done!"
4 stars"

Brilliant film adaption of the musical. It's gory and bloody (just like the stage musical) and Burton's style radiates through it. Well done cast and crew.

Description

Sweeney Todd – The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street

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.

Critic Reviews:

  • " It keeps getting bloodier by the scene, yet remains curiously engaging. " – Namrata Joshi
  • " This is grand-scale studio-work at its most beguiling. " – Joshua Rothkopf
  • " This is a remarkable piece of work for people who like their genres all mashed together in a meat grinder. " – Jordan Hoffman
