My Thought on Sweeny Todd

Rating: 8/10 (27 January 2008)

I went to see Sweeny Todd not knowing too much of what to expect from it. I didn't really know to much about the story of Sweeny Todd either as i have not seen the book published in Australia. I love Tim Burton's work so i thought it would be interesting to actually see how he would go about directing a movie about a murder but in the form of a musical. It was a dark kinda movie like most of the ones he makes but it did have a comical kick to it which i think was a good idea. The gore side to things wasn't to bad, i thought it would be worse so i would say that was the only sightly disappointing thing about the movie but thats only because horror is my fav genre ha ha. Apart from that I love the outfits that were worn, the songs were great(especially the lyrics), the music was great and the acting was brilliant. The songs definitely get stuck in your head this is yet another job well done by Tim and if you are a fan of Tim's work i definitely suggest that you go see this movie and take a friend or too, its different but brilliant.
Best Part of one of my fav Sweeny songs is: "There's a hole in the world like a great black pit and it's filled with people who are filled with s**t! And the vermin of the world inhabit it!"
awesome movie, a must see in my books :)
