sweeney todd is one of the best musical movie thingys you'll ever see flawless acting, although the kid ws pretty irritating with his blinking singing's pretty good, depp's not have bad and alan rickman is hilarious!
Fantastic film. Enjoyed it so much at the cinema that I bought the DVD. Great entertainment, though a little over the top with gore! Thoroughly enjoyed the music and the scenes with Sacha Baron Cohen are hilarious. Helen Bonham Carter plays the role of Mrs Lovett very well, and I have to admit to cringing when she makes the pies. As usual Alan Rickman is the archetypal baddie, which he does so well.
It might be a musical but it is not for children. the film is a typical tim burton film with the over the top blood which looks incredible. mr depp is amazing as mr todd who will make you laugh and lets just say that the pies will make you sick. i recommend this film to any tim burton or depp fan because it is them at there best. exept for depp cause its his 2nd best performance because he was incredible in pirates of the carribean films. you will laugh you will cry and you will be scared!
I was looking forward to this film but didnt realise there was gonna be so much singing in it,i knew there would be some but theres not a minute that goes by without someone singing and after making this remake im my opinion it spoils it(lets face it if someone is giving you a cut throat shave would you both be singing jolly songs?,i think not),my mrs likes the film but i prefer the version with ray winston in it.
I am a Johnny Depp fan and did not think this was one of his best. Although i like horror and musicals just not together. The cast are brilliant singers and this would be more appropriate for the stage.
I didnt expect an orginal copy since it hadnt been released in england yet! but a great dvd, clean and unscratched! However when used on computer, huge subtitles appear! I love the film! Thanks!!
I realy good film where Johnny Depp is surprisingly good. he's normally a great actor but when i heard it was a musical and he sang i want too sure but i thought he was great. a great gory film which i would recommend to anyone who likes johnny or gore (if u like both you're in for a treat)
This film is brilliant! Johnny and Helen are perfect in their roles and they really bring it to life. I really reccomend to anyone, I know it sounds weird as a horror musical, but it all fits in when you watch it! Love this film so much, and its not even that gory. Not to mention Johnny Depp is HOT! xxx
I watched this for johnny depp and helena bonham carter and I LOVE IT! honestly it is so well directed, written and sung its brilliant johnny and helena are brilliant Sweeney and Lovett. i would recommend it to anyone, and open your mind up to musicals and its not that gory either
This is another excellent film by Tim Burton who is always very Artisitc. Johnny Depp is fantastic as always and is probably the only person who could play sweeney todd and make the Audience like and feel sorry for him. Helena Bonham carter has an amazingly good voice for someone who has never sung before as does Johnny. Loved it.
Well, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are amazing playing Mr Sweeney Todd and Mrs Lovett. This film isn't for the people who are faint at the sight of blood! The songs are VERY catchy. I'd recommended this to all. Tim Burton has really done an amazing job with this. A Master Piece!
Based on the Steven Sondheim musical many people may be put off with the thought of music and high drama coming together but Tim Burton manages to blend the two perfectly. With fantastic performances from the whole cast but most notably the two leads, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. Depp manages a convincing east end accent and also manages to retain this whilst singing. Ultimately a tale of murder and revenge the film also manages to address hope, betrayl, friendship, infatuation and love. A fantastic film from a one of the greatest directors and some of the best actors of the time.
