Mixed Feeling on Sweeney Todd

Date of Review:  May 8, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would not recommend watching it.
Review: I borrowed Sweeney Todd from my boyfriend's coworker and I am glad that I did. This is a movie that I thought I would want in our collection, but now I am not so sure. I have very mixed feelings about it.
First of all, it started off slow...

Sweeney Todd has Depp singing while he slashes.

Date of Review:  May 29, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is as dark as a musical could be, so if you're not a horror fan and don't like lots of melodramatic mayhem and murder this is not for you.
Review: Steven Sondheilm's version of Sweeney Todd was the only theatre performance that I ever went to see twice, so this film had a lot to live up to for me. I needn't have worried because Sweeney Todd was the perfect vehicle for Tim Burton, Johnny Depp...

What Makes Sweeney Flop?

Date of Review:  Jul 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: The equivalent of a Broadway slasher musical just doesn't cut the mustard (or meat pie)...
Review: It's hard to pinpoint exactly what makes Sweeney such a daunting task in getting over as a box-office hit. The role itself has been reprised by some of the best in the business, Ben Kingsley high on that list. This prodigious effort by Johnny Depp...

Sweeney Todd --- So much promise and yet so little fulfillment

Date of Review:  Jul 31, 2008
The Bottom Line: I didn't enjoy much more than the look and the cinematography of the film, and that was very disappointing to me.
Review: I learned of Sweeney Todd through television and then through another film, and find myself needing to blame that on living our West for so long. I didn't really know what was at the heart of the story, but got the hint when so many jokes had made...

I'd bite into a muffin if it was called Sweeney Todd

Date of Review:  Jan 10, 2008
The Bottom Line: wouldn't eat a muffin named T. Speak.
Review: Johnny Depp supposedly once said that he appears in so many eccentric roles to avoid being typecast. Well, there's a problem that Mr. Depp doesn't realize: he has been typecast as the weird guy. Look at his resume: Captain Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka,...

Oh the singing?. and the blood? should I cower or break out into a song?

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: I only recommend this movie if you are a die-hard fan of the cast members and you love musicals and want to see blood spewing everywhere.
Review: Everybody sings! When I say everybody sings, I mean EVERYBODY SINGS! Wait even Borat sings!! I was waiting for the dog walking by to break out into a song, a little "Woof woof woof" would have been cute.

The plot is simple; seek revenge on...

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...

Fancy A Shave?

Date of Review:  Jan 30, 2008
The Bottom Line: Singing and death make a great combination
Review: "I will have VENGEANCE.... I will have SALVATION!"
Having endured the pain of Across The Universe, I found it somewhat disturbing to be thrown into the world of Steven Sondheim and Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street. Let...

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...
