You Won't Want To Leave Your Seat!

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2007)

From the moment those dark, blood-soaked gears began turning to it's bloody and epic conclusion, I was hooked. Tim Burton truly delivers in this big-screen adaptation of one of America's classic musicals. From the get-go, there is a classic Burton-esquire theme, from the drab streets of filth-covered London to Depp's shroud of hatred for those around him. Depp performs unlike any other with his dark musical numbers and his pairing with Carter (Mrs. Lovett) works out perfectly, with just the right amount of secret admiration on Carter's part. Sweeney Todd is one movie that you won't bring yourself to get popcorn during!
