How about a shave?

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2008
The Bottom Line: Sondheim's musical masterpiece is transformed to become Tim Burton's masterpiece! A fantastic tragedy musical with some beautiful songs from a talented cast.
Review: NOTE: This review is for the 2-Disk Special Edition DVD of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

I first saw Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street in December 2007 when it was in theaters. I didn't know what to expect,...

Sweeney Todd: Meat Pies and Murder

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 2007
The Bottom Line: Tim Burton's movie of the stage play does it justice, and even tightens up the plot a bit. The movie is well-acted by Depp, Bonham-Carter, and Rickman.
Review: Ingredient #1: a barber, falsely imprisoned by a corrupt judge who subsequently raped the barber's wife and kidnapped his baby daughter. The barber arrives back in London fifteen years later to find his wife poisoned by her own hand and his daughter...

Johnny Depp sings in Sweeney Todd

Date of Review:  May 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: I liked it, but I'm not sure how general audiences will feel about a gory musical.
Review: When I heard that Johnny Depp was going to sing in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, I just knew it would be something special. Based on the musical by Stephen Sondheim, this is another of Depp's many collaborations with director Tim...

Never Forget, Never Forgive. Sweeney Todd.

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2008
The Bottom Line: This movie adaptation has been 25 years in the making. See why it was worth the wait.
Review: Sweeney Todd (2007) Directed by Tim Burton.

Narrator: This is the tale of an ordinary man, who had everything….
Mrs. Lovett : Barker, his name was. Benjamin Barker.
Narrator : Until a man of power stole his freedom, destroyed...

Sweeney Todd - Tim Burton and Johnny Depp Together Again

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: A movie for grown ups. Too bloody sometimes. Overall enjoyed the movie but miss the stage show.
Review: I'm a huge fan of both Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. Over the years I have enjoyed their collaborations. I had not just high hopes, but high expectations for their adaptation of Sweeney Todd. I was glad that Burton was going back to working with flesh...

Johnny Depp is the Demon Barber on Fleet Street!

Date of Review:  Aug 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: A musical horror film, with the great Johnny Depp on lead? How can you go wrong?! Tim Burton and Depp get a standing ovation from me!
Review: What a beautiful, horribly grotesque film. I so wish I would have seen this one at the theatre. For months my husband has been anticipating the arrival of Sweeney Todd and when we didn't make it to see it on the big screen , he was counting down the...

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street - A bloody good flick

Date of Review:  Dec 28, 2007
The Bottom Line: A vengeful barber with a straight edge, a meat pie bakery below, a bloody good movie.
Review: I don't go to the movies very often. Only about once a year. The cost of the ticket annoys me, the cost of popcorn angers me, and sounds of people yapping, coughing, and crunching thru the whole movie and forgetting to turn their cell phones off...

SO MUCH FOR POT PIES ...

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2009
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended to adults who enjoy dramedy and gore, but can also appreciate a musical effort.
Review: We had movie night tonight with some friends over, which was fun with all the snacks and trimmings.  Someone chose Sweeney Todd:  The Demon Barber of Fleet Street as our first movie.  I had never watched the original version nor seen it on Broadway,...

The Bottom Line: Orrible melodramatic fun in Old London Town
Review: After years of disappointing dabbles with big-budget productions a€" most obviously Planet of the Apes, but let's not forget quite large parts of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Mars Attacks! - director Tim Burton has gone back to his...

Johnny Depp stars in a Bloody Musical!

Date of Review:  Jan 15, 2008
The Bottom Line: It's a bloody musical with Johnny Depp!
Review: Sweeney Todd is probably one of the bloodiest musicals that has ever been staged on Broadway. The murder count makes even the standard opera plot pale in comparison.

Leave it to Tim Burton with his wife Helena Carter Bonham and good friend...
