10/10 essential viewing. Tremendous performances from both Depp and Carter, beautiful sensational songs and music, Depp shows he actually has a nice voice, very bloody and extremely enjoyable. You'll start singing along, you'll be shocked at the level of gore and violence, absolutely stunning and a must for all movie lovers.

Well this is the first time in a good number of years that i had to turn the film off, i was that bored...about 45 minutes in and i couldn't bear anymore...he hadn't even killed his first victim...
There was to much hype about the film.
I saw Sweeny Todd a couple of years ago, and Ray Winstone played him, and that was excellent..

'johnny depp' seems to know no boundries to his talent.
but a star of a 'musical' ? no worries for 'johnny' he simply
pulls it off.
returning to london after 15 years of serving a sentence for a crime he did not commit, his only thoughts are for revenge.
he is be-friended by 'helen bonham carter' who plays 'mrs lovett' a pie shop owner, she permits him to set up buisness in a room above her shop.
when she realizes 'sweeney todd' is on a bloody mission,
a new and very lucartive ingrediant for her pies are on the menu.
the film does have it's fair share of blod-letting. this musical version does work.
it may not be everyones cup of tea, but i can tell you my family and i enjoyed it.
give it a go, you may be pleasantly suprised.

When I heard it was a musical, I uttered a groan - another poor quality singing and dancing wannabe west-end play.
But this film completely surprised me.
Burton;s presentation of Victorian London was amazing.
The songs were just right, and I was impressed at how well Depp can sing.
Although the gore was particualarly horrifying in parts, Burton included just the right amount, and it really added to the dark demeanour of the film.
A must see - even for those who don't like musicals!

You must must MUST see this film...it's amazing! Tim Burton has managed to make another cracking film. And in true Burton style its very dark, exceedingly gothic and full of black humour.

Even if you don't like musicals, give it a try. I'm not so keen on them but somehow the songs work in this film.

Johnny Depp and Helena Bonhem Carter work so well together (as always!) and the supporting cast do a sterling job of providing interesting and unfortunate characters for them to interact with.

A definate must see, an instant classic!

How on earth anyone actually enjoys this film is beyond me! I was bored stiff from the moment it started! It would be a much better film if it wasn't 90% singing! I would not reccomend this film to anyone. Jonny Depp gives a great performance as usual but it still sucks!

Brilliant film i wouldnt say it aint for people who dont like musicals because im not a big fan ov them but i love this film depp is brilliant as usual and the film is just wonderfully done by tim burton

saw this at the cinema and it was worth the wait...to be fair it was advertised as a musical but even I didnt know how much singing would be in...and it wont be everyones cup of tea. But that did not put me off in the slightest. Johnny and Helena are brilliant in it, definitely give it a whirl if you like Johnny Depp/Tim Burton films.

I Put Sweeney Todd on with the girlfreind one evening and 20 minutes in"i felt like i was loosing her and i was struggling to get my head round it.Maybe i just wasent in the mood for it,So it sat on the shelf for a further 3wks,pushed to one side.Then the other night my Son said"Put the Demon Barber on,"it was Early evening,and Dark and dreary outside"The House was Warm"The Mood was set,,Ha,,Ha.Sweeney Todds a Lovely looking film,i loved the obviously Fake use of CGI & the Sets that create old London.Theres a smattering of cool performances,"Depps Depp,Helena bonham carters super cooky and weirdly sexy"all pasty faced,wild haired and large of clevage,Alan rickmans Snarly perfection as usual,Tim spalls Rodent like,and theres a realy good couple of scenes with old Borat himself"Sasha baron cohen"nice twist too.Then theres the Music"it grows on you Bigtime and is actually very funny in places"its the lyrics and the delivery"None of these people are Great singers,"Depps abit like Bowie,"I Will Have Vennnnngeance.The violence is of the Blood spraying variaty"Like the Driller killer Poster used to say"The Blood runs in Rivers.I Liked Sweeney todd and shall enjoy repeat viewings"when im in the mood for a quirky,Dark and Funny Musical.""I Want you Bleeeeeders!!!!!!!

Tim burton can do no wrong. This is one of my favourite films and i just love the story! You'll eat this one up
