Slice And Dice Burton's Yet Another Musical: "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street!"

Date of Review:  Dec 23, 2007
The Bottom Line: Tim Burton returns with another musical in time for Christmas, this time with much blood and music, but still with the same acting troupe and general plot.
Review: I have something of a love-don't care relationship with the works of Tim Burton. Unlike some directors, I see that Tim Burton obtained his status as the outsider-insider director in Hollywood today from his talent. He's a creative guy and I love his...

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...

Dr. Freudine Fascinated By Johnny Depp's Singing Sweeney Todd~

Date of Review:  Apr 2, 2008
The Bottom Line: I'm going to go watch this movie again! On DVD...
Review: NOTE - Dr. Freudine is a fictitious psychiatrist and my alter ego who sometimes helps me to review books, movies and music. Last time she had fun with the book Legs Diamond.

Did it Really Need That Much Singing?

Date of Review:  Mar 2, 2009
The Bottom Line: Even musical-haters like me will find something to enjoy in this dark, ghoulishly funny, atmospheric film.
Review: 19th Century London Barber Johnny Depp is sent to prison in Australia on trumped up charges by evil judge Alan Rickman, who then proceeds to steal the man’s beloved wife. Said wife poisons herself, rather than live with this total rotter, but he...

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...

Where people singing and throats getting slit are a source of happiness

Date of Review:  Dec 28, 2007
The Bottom Line: Burton showing us in his uber-Gothic way that happy endings and safe plotlines aren't what all blockbusters are made of.
Review: I'm about the farthest thing from Mr. Musical. Just about any time people start singing in movies, I immediately begin the process of shutting down and tuning out. And that's what makes it strange that I'd find Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd: The Demon...

Successful move from stage to screen!

Date of Review:  Jan 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: Another fine move from stage to screen, with a director who knew what to do with the material. NOT to be missed on a big screen.
Review: Ok, so I first have to admit to being a theater lover from way back, who really believes that the stage version of Sweeney Todd is truly the absolute masterpiece of modern musical theater. Sondheim created a piece with gorgeous music, an amazing...

Flee Down to Fleet Street

Date of Review:  Feb 19, 2008
The Bottom Line: It's a horror and a musical. And it's got Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. Really what else can one need?
Review: As a long time fan of Sondheim's Broadway musical, I must say that I was a bit nervous at the thought of a Sweeney Todd movie. Tim Burton as a director I believed to be an inspired choice from the beginning, however the rest of the cast I was a bit...

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...

Outstanding production values and fun Depp performance

Date of Review:  Apr 23, 2008
The Bottom Line: A vivid and thrilling adaptation of a classic Sondheim musical. Stylistically it's thrilling, and Johnny Depp's singing is quite expressive.
Review: I'm sure there will be people who come to SWEENEY TODD not realizing it's a musical. (Previews for the movie REALLY downplay that aspect.) They will be in for a pretty big surprise. TODD is a very different musical from the recent flurry we've had...
