After the first 30 minutes of watching "Sweeney Todd" I was thinking, 'Lame. Yet another variation on the Count of Monte Cristo, this time in a musical form.' Nope, not this one. Once it got rolling, it has got my full attention. True, there's a lot of gore in it (it's based on a Goth tale after all), but it all came within a flow of the movie, so it did contribute to the picture as a whole and didn't seem out of place. Overall, this movie is a must see.

P.S. The tagline for this movie should have been: This Count of Monte Cristo will cut your throat and make someone else eat you.

it is very fantastic movie..beautifully made

Just a spectacular movie.

Being a fan of the musical AND a huge Tim Burton fan, i had high expectations for this movie. Overall it doesn't disapoint; great cast (yes Johnny Depp sings well but i'm not sure he could do Broadway), amazing cinematography and delicious horror (not for kids however)... A must see.

If you love musicals. . .
Or if you want to see a Harry Potter Reunion. . .
Or if you love Johnny Depp!
This is a good movie.
The story has a lot of history - now I want to see the original with Angela Landsbury.

Director Tim Burton makes great movies, and Sweeney Todd : The Demon Barber of Fleet Street., Is now available at Amazon. The two-Disc Special Collector's Edition is going for $23.00
