Snape was always the coolest Harry Potter character.

Rating: Null/10 (18 February 2008)

Sorry for the title but I had to get it off my chest, Alan Rickman's Severus Snape was always my favorite character from the Harry Potter series, and I'm not even a fan of those movies. He delivers a charismatic performance in this wonderful musical masterpiece.
And what a masterpiece it was. Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd is like no other. The songs are extremely memorable and will play inside your head for days to come. It is quite bloody though, so I don't think it's suitable for a family viewing, which is quite a shame, because it is one of the best musicals I have ever seen from Warner Bros. The duets are mind-blowing and perfectly synchronized. Johnny Depp is always awesome, but it's the characters around him that make the movie, except for the Judge (Alan Rickman), whose background is never really explained, but his on screen presence is so powerful that it more than makes up for the lack of character depth.
Definitely watch this, if you can enjoy a fine work of art. Well done Mr.Burton, John Logan (screenplay), and Stephen Sondheim (musical)!
