Decent film, but could have been better

Rating: 6/10 (31 July 2014)

Overall I did enjoy this film, and if anything could be adapted well into a Tim Burton film it is Sweeney Todd. That being said the problems I had with it was that we see several actors who play the same roles they have always played.
Johnny Depp has slipped so much into doing different roles that he ends up playing the same characters over and over. You almost wonder if Sweeney Todd, Jack Sparrow, and The Mad Hatter are supposed to be related to each other. Helena Bonham Carter is in the same boat. They also aren't singers and had Burton gotten actual singers/actors then the soundtrack would have been so much better.
It is worth a watch, and it's enjoyable, but it does have it's flaws.
