Review

 

Based on the 19th century legend of Sweeney Todd and the hit Broadway musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (Johnny Depp) returns to London after being sent to prison, unjustly, by Judge Turpin. Sweeney opens a barber shop and vows to get his revenge, not only for that cruel punishment, but for the devastating consequences of what happened to his wife and daughter.

Joining Depp is Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett, Sweeney's amorous accomplice, who sells "the worst pies in London." With the help of Mrs. Lovett, Sweeney tries to rid of all the people who have ever done him wrong and hopes to be reunited with his daughter, Joanna, who is now Judge Turpin's ward.

The film is great. Dark, violent, great music, great acting, perfectly casted characters, one of Burton's best.

This is one of the better looking blu ray discs, a lot of the film is spent close up on the actors faces while they sing, focusing on the subtle expressions that depp shows.

You can see vengeance in his every look.

With the camera often closing in on faces, you can see the great detail blu ray offers, facial hair and details on the skin are clearly visible.

I cant comment too much on the sound as I don't have surround sound, but it sounds as good as/better than the dvd on standard speakers.

A film well worth the HD upgrade.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Bloody Brilliant!

I like the occasional musical but I love Tim Burton and this definately didn't dissapoint, its great to see Tim Burton back on form with some truly stunning imaginary , a great story all told out with a brilliant cast.
On Blu Ray this is a stunning package, the picture although mostly very dark is a stunning transfer that just looks beautiful with a very effective TrueHD soundtrack, I'll definately be watching this again.
Highly Recommeded.

Pre-ordered this baby from Play and received my pretty cool steel case; good stuff. =D
Anyway, being a huge Tim Burton fan myself I was captivated with his blood-spattering treat 'Sweeney Todd'; A film that soon placed itself firmly in my favourite Burton-flick spot.
Not only is this timeless story supported by very strong performances from Depp and The cast (yes, I even enjoyed the singing; got the soundtrack too), I was able to sit back and bask in Burton's beautifully noir vision of Victorian London. And as for the blu-ray, the picture and sound are once more; superb.
