Sweeney Todd

I have not seen this film, but when I was at school as part of our english we were learning about this, and we went to see a production of it at the theatre, and I enjoyed it a lot and it is one thing I really remember about school! But I will definately take a look at the film because it has 2 of my favourite actors in it and they are both very good at what they do so it would be worth watching just for that.

It was better than i thought it'd be, but then again I really did think it would be totally cringeworthy. I really like Tim Burton's films, but for some reason Sweeny Todd just felt like someone else trying to be like Burton, but failing.
The cast was amazing. I was really impressed with Sacha Barron Cohen, 'cause as much as I like him, I thought he was only cast because he was flavour of the month. But he was actually really good in it.
The one thing that annoyed me was the singing. I know it was a musical, but it was just oddly done. There was too much slipping into and outof songs for my liking. It may have worked on the stage, but I think it was too much for the screen and could have been toned down a lot.

Loved it! Then again I love anything Tim Burton.

I really enjoyed the movie. A bit more gory than I would have liked. I love anything by Tim Burton and adore Johnny Depp. Probably could have done without all the blood though. I would like to see it one stage. I am wondering though if it would be as good since the movie can go into the details.

Hey Doll, You know I haven't been to a movie in years..I should go again but to do so I'd have to drive over an hour to the nearest place..it is nice for me to have my rentals.
xooxxoxoxo

hai phaedra_scythe, is this movie really that much good i mean i wanted to watch this movie and i asked my friend who already saw this movie, what's the film like and he gave me a negative response. He was saying that the film is very very boring and not worth watching at all. As i became a big fan of Johnny Depp after that pirates of the carribbean trilogy, i think i'll definitely give it a try and thanks for the information about the film. I hope the movie is good.

Saw the movie. I never knew of the story so I had no idea that it was going to be a musical. But I like musicals so that was good. I love Johnny Depp. Anything he is in I'll love. I thought it was great. I thought it was more like a scary movie. But after seeing it I thought it as a very tragic love story.

I also went to see Sweeny Todd not long ago. I must say, as a non lover of horror films i really did enjoy it. I had no idea johnny depp could sing that well! i loved the little boy and especially joanna and her boyfriend(?). Tim burton is one of my favourite directors and he and johnny depp create such masterpieces. It was a bit gory in places for my taste but then again im a bit of a wuss anyway. The ending was so terribly sad! The only thing that i really didnt like about the movie was how the sub plot with joanna and her boyfriend(?) wasn't resolved. it left me wanting to know more. i wanted to find out what happened to them. I loved how alan rickman and Scabbers (cant remember his real name offhand) were cast together. they went well together in harry potter and as well in sweeny todd. I also felt sorry for mrs lovett. the poor woman. all she wanted was todd's love. And look what happened to her. Her voice is astounding.

Oh i havent seen this movie yet but I cant wait to go and see it. It looks so good and I love Johnny Depp as an actor. Tim Burton always has really good films so im really looking forward to see that one

Oh sorry I didn't see this discussion and I posted a similar one
However, I've seen it and I'm split between the love for Johnny Depp and Alan Rickman and the vomit induced by the splatter scenes:D
It's funny how they are merging horror and musical, like Sweeny Todd who kills people while singing, LOL

"I really liked Helena Bonham-Carter as Mrs. Lovett. "
YES I liked her too, especially in the scene of their "dreams" of going to the beach and marrying with Todd (while Sweeny has a sad face all the time LOL)
