Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2008)

Tim Burton and Johnny Depp team up again to bring the legend of Sweeney Todd to the big screen.The successful Broadway play gets the Hollywood treatment as Johnny Depp plays Benjamin Barker aka (Sweeney Todd)a barber who was sent to prison on a false charge by the evil Judge Turpin played by the great Alan Rickman.15 years later Sweeney returns back to London to get his revenge on the Judge.Once he gets back he runs into his old landlady Mrs Lovett(Helena Bonham Carter)who has the worst pies in London.And opens up a barber shop above her pie shop and gets ready to open for business.The chemistry between Depp and Bonham Carter is well performed and the scenes they are in together they really make an odd couple but that what i think makes the movie better and the songs they sing together are just no word to describe both actors have never been in a musical before but pull it off amazingly.The film also stars Sacha Baron Cohen as Sweeney Todd's rival barber Signor Aldolfo Pirelli the cocky Italian is cocky funny and i think little cruel gets what he deserves when he blackmails Sweeney about his past Sweeney then seals the deal.And i think Sacha Baron Cohen steals the show with the parts that he is in and shows off his musical talents.And look out for Timothy Spall as the beadle bamford.This is a great musical treat great settings great storyline with a twist at the end and little gory not for screamish give this film a chance it will have u hooked from the credits.Carry on the good work Tim Burton/johnny depp thank you for this musical big screen masterpiece.
