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:
Re: Sweeney Todd - criticism
I had the same feeling, too many songs :(
Re: Sweeney Todd - criticism
this movie is sucks!!
sorry for the expression..
i hate musicals..
Re: Sweeney Todd - criticism
musicals are best seen in person imo. but sweeney todd was pretty awesome and quite the exception
Re: Sweeney Todd - criticism
It was awesome. Liked it a lot. I'll need more Tim Burton movies.
Re: Sweeney Todd - criticism
I think that its great movie.
Re: Sweeney Todd - criticism
I liked the movie. Itīs not one of the best of Johnny Deep or Tim Barton.... 6/10
Re: Sweeney Todd - criticism
I am not a fan of "musicals" so perhaps I cannot comment without bias. But, I could not watch this terrible movie to completion. Song after song ... and after the guy who was
kicked silly gets up and starts singing ... that was it.
This movie should have a warning NOT SUITABLE FOR SELECT AUDIENCES
Appallingly BAD.
Re: Sweeney Todd - criticism
1. Tim Burton is a hack .
2. People who like musicals subscribe to an alternative lifestyle .
3. Johnny Depp lives in France.
On the positive side there was lots of blood and Helena Bonham Carter's breasts.

- I like musicals...so what's "alternative" about my lifestyle?
- Parts of France are incredibly beautiful and you'd have to be an idiot NOT to want to live in them.
It must really roast your kippers that HBC's nice breasts live with the "hack".
Given that you dislike the director and the star and your "mainstream" lifestyle doesn't allow for musicals...why did you see the movie to begin with?
Re: Sweeney Todd - criticism
Sorry that you fail to see the whimsy in my post ,let me redress.
1. Tim Burton is an interesting hack.
2.People who like musicals seem to be judgmental and humourless.
3.France is quite nice though, especially the area around Beynac et Cazenac.
I'm an ass man myself though I wouldn't mind his money.
I enjoyed every movie I've ever seen,even the bad ones - though I do find intolerance in people annoying .
Re: Sweeney Todd - criticism
in my opinion
move very good
Johnny Depp you my Favorite actor :)
