Vioundon One hour and a half of nothing
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
thornton-70038 I don't like musicals, but this is good! If it was a pure non-musical movie, I would liked it more.
sethcade I absolutely love this film!! It's 100% in my top 5 favorites! Johnny Depp's performance, as well as the other cast members, is fantastic! I myself am not a fan of musicals, but I really enjoy that this is a musical! I give it a 10/10!
ellimic I'm not usually a fan of musicals, but this one is great - I've lost count of how many times I've watched it. Brilliant casting; Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter really work well together, as do Alan Rickman and Timothy Spall (all of them great actors/actresses separately but put together they're magic)
Then add the talents of Sacha Baron Cohen, Jamie Campbell Bower, Laura Michelle Kelly, Jayne Wisener and Ed Sanders instant hit.The soundtrack is brilliant, the whole music track is great at setting the mood of every scene, then the actual songs are great at telling a story while relaying the characters feelings and thoughts.
The set also is good - how they depicted London as it was back in the 1840's, but maybe darkening it up for the film which really works well.What I loved most of all is how they haven't just done the typical throat slitting, horror and gore fest that you think of when you hear the title, they tell the larger story, showing the betrayal of the corrupt judge and Sweeney Todd's descent into madness and the sad future that befalls his wife and child.
Then the attempted blackmail and murder of Sacha Baron Cohen that leads Sweeney Todd to his murdeous ways.This all somehow makes out mass murdering Sweeney Todd to be the victim of the film, and by the end I felt sorry for the character.
Tim Burton you're a genius.
adonis98-743-186503 The infamous story of Benjamin Barker, AKA Sweeney Todd, who sets up a barber shop down in London which is the basis for a sinister partnership with his fellow tenant, Mrs. Lovett. Based on the hit Broadway musical. Sweeney Todd is one of my favorite films of Tim Burton after his Batman Movies of course it has it's own creepy vibe and style but the songs and acting by Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Alan Rickman is just extraordinary unfortunately the only bad thing about the whole film is the ending i didn't liked it because i thought that Todd would have found some happiness in his life and his redemption unfortunately that never happens but this is a very great film with very well shots and direction but also a very good talented cast.
