I have just got home from the cinema, after watching Sweeney Todd. I absolutely loved it!
What with Johnny Depp as the leading man, Helena Bonham Carter's wardrobe to die for and Tim Burton's stunning gothic visuals it really was a treat.
For anyone who may be put off by the "musical issue" i can reassure you that this film is not just a visual thrill but also brilliantly directed, and perfectly acted. With some surprisingly well cast appearances from Alan Rickman and Sacha Baron Cohan.
I can not image a more convincing Sweeney Todd, a must see film. Especially for those who are partial to a little bit of blood spill 
, meat clevers and Johnny Depp wielding a scalpel/cut throat razor (for lili's benefit 
).
The only thing that made me chuckle was Mrs Lovetts varying corset size, the actresses pregnancy during filming made her look even more amazing in her costumes 
.

I am DESPERATE to see it!
I did see it mentioned somewhere as the 'Demon Berber of Fleet Street' which brought up a whole new set of images. I'm about as submissive as dracula on speed.... | |

I've been looking forward to the release of this film for about six months! The musical factor doesn't put me off at all -- Sondheim is not your average musical theatre. The only thing I am displeased about from what I've heard from reviews is that they've cut my favourite chorus piece from the film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR1z0yW_ELc&featu... But I still can't wait to see it! | |
