What do you think about the new Johnny Depp movie Sweetney Todd??

I am totally and completely looking forward to the movie version of Sweeney Todd. I have seen bits and pieces of the Broadway show on various PBS programs or during the Tony Awards (and on youtube), and I have listened to the music a thousand times over. I am not the least bit concerned about the gore. The entire premise of the story is completely vile, so I think there should be gore! I am just really hoping that they don't cut any of the original songs from the musical production. I don't believe I have ever heard Helena Bonham Carter sing, and I am curious about that. I am not a huge Johnny Depp fan, but I think he is the perfect person to play the lead role. Incidentally, have you ever heard Angela Lansbury sing "The Worst Pies in London?" Absolutely hysterical.

Ohhh --- I just read something about this, but I didn't see anything regarding Tim Burton or how gory it will be. That's okay though, Edward Scissorhands was released as a "Christmas" type movie, so I guess Burton just likes doing movies with dark themes around Christmas.:) Seriously, I'll be one of the first in the theaters to see it for sure!!

I can't wait to see it .. .I have heard so much about it! And it has Johnny Depp...it can't be that bad!

I can't wait to see this film. I love musicals and to have Johnny Depp in it will make it a must see for me! I also think the films Tim Burton directs always offer something different to the norm and I always look forward to them. Roll on December! As for the horrid scenes in the film well how can you make a film about a murdering barber that slits peoples throats without making it shocking...it just can't be done.

I can't wait to see it, and I'm sure Johnny will do an excellent job singing

I think that movie is going to be great!
I got so excited when I first saw the previews to it.
I love any movie by Tim Burton especially if Johnny Depp is in it.
I hadn't heard about that though, but I wouldn't doubt that thats what happened.
Tim Burton has one cool erie imagination.

Oh gore is the best thing to watch no matter what time of year it is! I cant believe the asked him to tone it down. He's a great director and does wonderful work with Johnny Depp. I'm going to watch this next weekend and i'm super excited about it. I dislike it when people complain about gore and such, if they dont like it then they shouldnt watch it and just leave it at that. They dont see the gore people complaining and protesting about their sappy love movies!

I saw it and I thought it was great! I am a Johnny Depp fan. He was perfect--a man whose sole purpose in life was to seek revenge. He was excellent throughtout and all the singing was good.
Yes it was too gorey and I had to not look but at least you knew--every time someone sat in the barber's chair, don't look.
One of my favorite scenes was the look on Johnny Depp's face when he was on the beach (a dream sequence)-- he was not a happy man.
It's funny, everyone I know who wanted to see it, their husband/wife did not want to see it. I have not heard of one couple yet who saw it together. I ended up going with my two adult kids and my girlfriend begged me to let her husband go with us because she and my husband did not want to see it.
I had seen the play version and a DVD of it. Such a dark yet still entertaining story. I give it 5 stars.

i have just seen sweeney todd. i think that it is brilliant. personally i hate helena bonnham carter, and she was rather annoying in the film. however, i do think that johnny more than compensated for her role. all in all, a very good film, but i wouldnt expect anything else from tim burton and johnny depp

hi confessinggirl!^__^

i watched this movie on its first day on the cinemas and i really loved it! i loved how Johnny Depp portrayed Benjamin/Sweeny Todd. i can feel his anger and the thirst for revenge. and he is a good singer too! he sang like a rock star. i love the dark humor of the film. and also the gore, all the blood. even if Sweeny Todd's blood in the end really looked like ketchup.^__^;; the movie was really fantastic! everybody was awesome! i also loved all the songs. i especially like No one's gonna harm you and Joana.^__^
