I liked all the artists..Alan Rickman is outstanding as well...I love the settings and I adore Helena's clothes!!!!! Poor thing got killed by her very own husband.I was left agasp upon discovering this... :( On top of that he was about to murder his own daughter!!!Well done Helena got burnt to death!!!
My favorite stage musical, and Tim Burton brought it to the screen beautifully!
Awesome cast, just couldn't get on with the constant outbreaks of song, which I know iw what Sweeney Tood is all about. Just not my cup of tea.
I seen it with my friends. I think it an awesome movie with a great musical with it. It almost remind me of the real board way musical I seen in Chicago
Tim Burton with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter!!! Perfect Package!!! Love themmmm so much!!!
A decent movie. I'm not a Tim Burton fan in any way at all, but it's still decent.
Its gorey and vile and a musical what more could you want - oh yeh Johnny Depp...
Critic Reviews
Unparalleled visual splendor, a bloody red-velvet fever dream of a musical for people who think they HATE musicals.full review
This Sweeney Todd is all subtext and no substance. It starts off large and swaggering but doesn't know where to turn next: Burton seems fixated on serving up an event, to the extent that he neglects to dig into the story.full review
If there were a cinematic version of a harmonic convergence, it would look something like "Sweeney Todd."full review
By all means go, and be prepared for a holiday musical like no other.full review
It combines some of Tim Burton's favorite elements: The fantastic, the ghoulish, the bizarre, the unspeakable, the romantic and in Johnny Depp, he has an actor he has worked with since Edward Scissorhands and finds a perfect instrument.full review
Sweeney Todd is as much a horror film as a musical. It is also something close to a masterpiece.
This well-sung and perfectly acted adaptation falls way short of a triumph because Burton misplaces his sense of humor. He only almost makes Sweeney Todd his own.full review
Tim Burton's film of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd is spellbinding.full review
Sweeney Todd is a thriller-diller from start to finish: scary, monstrously funny and melodically thrilling. And Depp is simply stupendous.full review
