A good movie

I already saw this movie, in fact, I even saw it in the movie theater when it was released, but, since it was a while back, I thought I might as well check it out again. Back then, when I first saw it, I was a big fan of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton's work was, at the time, still very interesting so I had to see this movie. Honestly, I have had absolutely no knowledge about Swneey Todd so I really didn't know what to expect beforehand. Furthermore, musicals are not really my thing so I went to see it with a open mind. Eventually, I thought it was really good. I didn't care much about the songs but the visuals were quite awesome, something rather expected by Tim Burton, and Johnny Depp delivered a solid performance, which was expected as well. I'm not so sure about the story but it was the ending that really sold me out. I mean, it was so over-the-top, so bold, so bloody, it didn't see it coming and it was just plain impressive. Unfortunately, I have to admit that I really struggled to care about the damned thing when I rewatched it though. To be honest, I have to admit that I was actually exhausted when I saw the damned thing and I had a hard time not to fall asleep. Still, I'm pretty sure that I would have had the same feeling under better circumstances. Indeed, the first time I watched the damned thing, I was really dazzled by the immersive dark mood and the amazing visuals but, the second time around, I focused more on the story and the characters and, well, I wasnโ€™t really impressed. I mean, basically, it is a rather generic revenge tell and, even though the whole cast did deliver some solid performances, none of the characters was actually really intriguing after all. Anyway, to conclude, it is still pretty good though and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Tim Burton's work.
