Re: Sweeney Todd - criticism
What sold the movie was the screenplay and actors. The director did an excellent job at creating a visually intriguing movie; however the plot (as well as the songs) were severely lacking in substance. As I was watching the movie I kept feeling like I was watching a contrived musical, rather than a story.

Yeah, I suppose he's never heard of it.
This movie is an adaptation of the mentioned musical, after all, done in famous Burton style (I just love the guy :happy:).
It may not be the best of his films IMHO, but it is very interesting, visually appealing and refreshingly 'different'. J. Depp & Helena Bonham Carter are great together as leads.
Rickman, Spall and 'Borat' also did a good job. :lol:
Give it a chance people ...
Re: Sweeney Todd - criticism
I love Tim Burton and I love Johnny Depp. Was so excited to see this movie and then BAM song after song after song :( What a sad day that was :cry:
