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.

If you are a fan of horror you will be entertained but not thrilled...
If you are a fan of musicals your feet will be twitching, but there will be no tapping...
And if you aren't a fan of either you may start napping...
A spat of gore here, a bum-note there, this film tries hard on both fronts but never, quite, gets, there...
Very different but ultimately overrated, none the less stil a potent and inspiring film, with a cracking last 20 minutes that finally meets the potential momentum of the majority of the movie!
Terrible at the cinema. Possibly better on BLU-RAY

My girlfriend made me go and see this movie at the cinema. It was not only the worst film I've seen this year but It's in the top worst films I've ever seen. Firstly it's a musical and none of them can sing (except Sacha Baron Cohen). And secondly it was to dark to see what was going on (I felt like I had tunnel vision) maybes it will be better on BLU-RAY but I doubt it. If your a huge Johnny Depp fan and love Tim Burton films you'll probably like it anyway, but it doesn't deserve 3 stars nevermind 5!
My girlfriend doesn't get to pick films anymore.
A Gory Masterpiece
