While they did change some things from the original on-stage production, it was very good, and unless you've seen it live, you would never notice it. The cast was amazing. Johnny Depp can really sing and Helena Bonham Carter's voice was a wonderful asset to Mr. Depp's singing. The boy who plays Toby, though, I believe almost steals the spotlight from both of them with his clear, pure voice.

Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are well cast in this tragic musical. Depp and Carter show that they do have the vocal chops to carry the film. As usual, Depp can portray angst and oddity to the hilt. Allen Rickman is the slimy judge opposite Depp. A must see if you are either a Johnny Depp or Tim Burton fan. Sacha Baron Cohen makes a surprise appearance in this film.

I thought the film was good and relatively well done, but I think it is better left on the Broadway stage. The music is good, but the content is really more graphic than I would have liked.

After about 15 minutes, I was hoping Johnny Depp would loan me one of his razors so I could slit my own throat! It's that bad..........

It's a great story, with an incredible score, but if you've seen a GOOD production of the stage play you're likely to be disappointed. The singing was fine, it's just that most of the singers seemed so unsure of their singing ability that, when they started to sing, their range of emotion and expression just stopped. All the comedy was gone -- the funny songs just weren't funny. Johnny Depp looked too fit, young and healthy to beSweeney Todd. The killings were VERY graphic. I'll probably like it better the next time I see it.
