Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2008)

I had to buy this. I was mesmerized by this movie. I saw it on Broadway a long time ago and this play seemed to be waiting for Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter to do it. It was perfect. My only problem with seeing Sweeney Todd is that the music gets stuck in my head for days. I stand in awe that both these actors had no prior experience singing. Could have fooled me. It is kind of eerie because the parts seemed to be written for both these leads, Alan Rickman and Timothy Spall. The entire cast was perfectly cast. While I was buying this DVD, I found the Angela Lansbury version and bought that as well. Thank you Tim Burton for an amazing movie. PERFECTO!
