Oh, The Irony!

Rating: 2/10 (27 January 2008)

How ironic that Tim Burton and Johnny Depp actually team up to make their own real life 'Plan Nine From Outer Space' - Ed Wood would be proud.
Wooden (no pun intended), stilted, atrocious signing, and heavily re-cycled. Burton, doing a quick run though his note cards of past films, toys the idea of Sweeney Todd - The Musical and eventually just cobbles up some bits of 'neat ideas' and hopes it sticks. Also, enough with the Edward Scissorhands/Robert Smith mop doll look of the characters, it looks dopey now. Come on Tim, time to stop staring at your own navel and expand your horizons.
Aside from the competent cinematography, got that black and blue down to science now don't we, not much to recommend here. Just keep walking.
