This movie has some of my favorite actors but this movie disappoints a great deal. The problem wasn't the singing it was the poorly written songs and the unessary gore.

If you like Johnny Depp don't miss this one. He is so fun to watch. Very different kind of flick, but great. Pretty bloody, but Depp pulls it off so well! He can sing too!

I thought this movie was quite unique and at first I was inclined to turn it off but after a few songs I was intrigued. The gore was hard to look at and i did close my eyes a few times. But Helen Carter and Johnny did an amazing job... what talent they possess!!! And the song by the young blond girl playing his daughter was just downright amazing!!! I want to see the musical.

This had to be the worst movie of all times. I was really surprised because usually Johnny Depp is fantastic but I guess even is entitled to a bad movie. I found it to be stupid and just plain gorey. I'm not a fan of musicals but I thought if anyone could pull off a musical Johnny Depp could. I was wrong! This movie was just plain bad, bad, bad! I couldn't finish it as I found all the violence in it to be quite disturbing. I am a big fan of horror movies but couldn't stomach this one. Definitely not a movie for children. This movie is not worth the time it takes to watch it. Save yourself and rent another. Definitely was not Johnny Depp at his best. I was very dissapointed!!!! No Stars for this one!

I wanted to love Sweeney Todd. After all, it had Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman - all interesting and complex actors. It was directed by Tim Burton, whose visual style is imaginative and dark, wonderfully fitting the story line. But, I found myself yawning over most of the film. The plot dragged along through the first half at least; the songs, although well crafted, were uninspiring; and the opportunities for dark humor were squandered with too heavy a touch. The only bright spot was Sasha Baron Cohen's fake Italian accented characater, who brought some life to an otherwise drab film.

The whole story of this movie would take 20 minutes if they didn't do all that singing. Most times I can handle a musical but this was just plain too much. Guess it takes a certain type to like this ...
