A Dark, Delightful Romance, With Lots of Blood

Rating: 9/10 (10 April 2008)

All I can say is wow!!! This film is probably Johnny Depp's finest film ever. He lit up the screen with this portrayal of a tortured barber with a score to settle, with his trusty razor in hand, Sweeney is ready to punish those who have wronged him. Johnny Depp has done a fantastic job at becoming and playing this character, but I will not forget the other great performances by Helena Bonham Carter and Alan Rickman. The story was dark, just like Tim Burton promises, the score is beautiful and the musical numbers are unforgettable. A true masterpiece and achievement in modern musicals. I will buy this film and hope that others will enjoy it as much as I did.
