I Absolutely LOVETT!!!

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2007)

i must say that i had really high expectations for this film. but the first 20 minutes just didn't do it for me. and i got really worried. but then sweeney killed his first victim!! and BOOM, i was sucked it!! the story was fantastic, the singing was great, the acting was phenomenal (especially CARTER who played miss LOVETT), and it had an amazingly sick finale like none i have ever seen! if you don't already know what this film is about then here is a little summary.
a barber named benjamin barker has a beautiful wife and baby daughter. the evil selfish judge turpin sends him to jail so he can have his wife and daughter. about 17 years later barker escapes and goes back to his old house in London and finds out from his land lord, miss lovett, that her wife poisoned herself and judge turpin adopted his daughter. so barker gets mad, changes his name to sweeney todd, and seeks out his revenge.
he practices killing other innocent people by slitting their throats when getting a shave. (these parts are really gory) then to hide the evidence mrs. lovett makes meat pies out of the people and sells them.
i won't tell you the ending but you will NOT be disappointed! 10/10 stars, two thumbs up!!!
