Sweeney Todd Was Beautiful!

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2007)

Beautifully filmed and stylized. Very dark but that is to be expected as it is based off a very dark legend of Sweeney Todd. The acting was fantastic with Johnny Depp playing Sweeney Todd amazingly. The musical score by my favorite musical composer Steven Sondheim is so beautiful, I happen to be listening to it currently. I hope to see more of Sonheim's musicals coming to film, such as the amazing musical Company.
Very bloody which is very interesting to see having seen the stage production where gruesome blood is slightly harder to pull off with such a vivid outcome as Tim Burton's interpretation.
Overall one of the best movies I have seen this year and my favorite Tim Burton film to date with the exception of Nightmare Before Christmas.
