HIGHLY Recommended

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2008)

I waited for this movie for nearly 3 years, and I burst into tears with excitement the first time I saw the trailer. I have shamelessly promoted this movie to anyone who will listen for 2 and 1/2 minutes, and I went to school dressed as Mrs.Lovett for 2 days leading up to the release. When I finally saw Sweeney Todd, I was not let down. This movie is amazing. It is beautiful and dark and perfection at the highest. The songs are beautiful, and sung, while not traditionally, the best I have ever heard them. Johnny Depp is great, but who would expect any less? Helena Bonham Carter was perfect as Mrs.Lovett. This was easily the greatest, goriest movie I have ever seen. Go watch it. Now.
