Singing to a dead audience

Rating: 4/10 (21 January 2008)

Sweeney Todd!!! I was looking forward to see another Burton/Depp adventure! However, the movie started off with a series of really bad songs and silly humor of Bonham-Carter killing roaches and adding them into her dough, I really just wanted to leave the theater. I was BORED!!!! Luckily Sasha Cohen's "Italian" barber brought forth a series of good belly laughs and it affected my movie experience in a positive that I hung out towards the end.
I enjoyed a few songs, however, the majority were still mediocre. I had wished this movie hadn't been a MUSICAL and I would have enjoyed it more even for such a thin plot. Visuals are great as with any Tim Burton movie.
