Sweeney Todd

Posted : 16 years, 1 month ago on 30 March 2008 09:15

Okay, so I really enjoyed this, but for all kinds of bizarre reasons. I can easily see how many people hated it, and why it left the theatres so quickly.

What's bad: too much singing, Helena Bonham Carter, Helena Bonham Carter's singing, the fact that Anthony Stewart Head's scene was cut, the fact that the single disc version of this DVD has no deleted scenes in the special features, the fact that the single disc copy has only one special feature, the fact that most of the time you don't really know what the heck is going on...and more

What's awesome about this movie:
Johnny Depp, Johnny Depp singing, the moments that are reminiscent of Edward Scissorhands, Johnny Depp singing (yes, I said it twice, and no, that wasn't him singing in Cry-Baby), Alan Rickman, Alan Rickman singing, Anthony Stewart Head's brief appearance, the fact that Johnny Depp serenades a straight razor...not once, but twice, the killing (which there is not enough of for a movie that claims to have a "demon barber" in it).....oh yeah, and Johnny Depp and Alan Rickman's duet.

Totally awesome.
I bet this quickly becomes a cult favourite.
