Favourite musical in a long time

Rating: 9/10 (26 November 2010)

Catchy songs and incredibly dark humour kept we watching all the way through. Too bad Pirelli (Sacha Baron Cohen)is killed though because he was definitely my favourite character aside of Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman)who put on a great performance. Though the movie built up to an abrupt ending where I expected at least a bit more. After Sweeney dies the movie just ends with no aftermath, I understand everyone is dead but it just felt like there could have been something more.
The movie had an interesting look at society and the metaphor of "Man eating man" was put so literally and so brilliantly. The fact that there was no clear protagonist in the movie, to me, made the characters more endearing because there was no real bias set up.
