Great film, great music and wonderfully done.
The gray streets of london really capture the story and the ending will leave you feeling rather empty as its not the ending everyone wishes for.

Johnny Depp does a great job of capturing Sweeney Todd's mental state and physical image.

Great film from a great director and with a wonderful cast.

Really is a must watch!
A film you can watch again and again and will find yourself singing along to.

One of my fave films.

Tim Burton could have made a classic with Sweeney Todd but all the writing feels rushed and second rate.

This was a real twisted take on a horror film, based on a true story it follows the tale of Sweeney Todd after being banished to Australia he returns to London to seek his vengeance with the help of Mrs Lovett who owns the pie shop ,he seeks his revenge on London by killing patrons to the barber shop and Mrs Lovett bakes them nicely in a pie.This is a rather graphic film which is made lighter by the musical aspect of it, if your a johnny Depp fan its a must see as you get to sample his musical t ...

It was pretty bad. There isn't much plot to killing people in a chair but it managed to make it fairly meaningless. The music is dreadful and the blood bath sickening.

Looks great a real goth-Burton feel to the movie great characters from Borat, Barry and Haas, even the old pirate fella is in good voice. P.S. If you don`t like blood look away now.

Put it this way... When the film started I was not looking forward to watching it, mainly because of the singing. But even though i do not think musical and horror mix, I thought Sweeney Todd was sooo good and quite scary too. Its also a bit of a romantic, I nearly cried at one point. Definately recommend people to watch this.

I have never been blown away as much as i was with this film. I had the preconceptions of it being good but never imagined how brilliant it would truely be.
The eerie atmosphere is initially set up from the dark scenery that surrounds Sweeny Todd's entrance into London. Burton's ability to encapsulate the character's personality through the creation of appearance is truly amazing.
The songs are fantastic and really capture the mood and emotions of the characters as well as bringing a more li ...

I was really disappointed when i went to the cinema's with my dad and step mum. I love horror films but i wouldnt class this as a horror. It was more like a musical. I hate musicals. Especially horror mixed with musical. It doesnt go together at all. The main problem i have is that the film wasnt advertised as a musical. The posters and adverts cut out the singing. So it was very misleading. I wouldnt recommend this film to anyone.
Dont waste your money!!!!!
