Depp's best performance

Rating: 8/10 (24 May 2020)

POSITIVES:
1) Depp's Todd is fantastically dark and twisted and his singing is actually fantastic
2) Most of the Sondheim songs are very good and keeps the film engaging throughout
3) I like that the film is necessarily violent and doesn't shy away from anything
4) Burton and Depp must have been falling over themselves during production at how gothic and eccentric the film is
NEGATIVES:
1) I didn't think Helena Bonham-Carter's singing was very good, often too high and off key
2) The Sacha Baron Cohen character and the 'by the sea' dream sequence both took me out of the film as they feel completely different in tone to the rest of the film
3) I found it peculiar that Alan Rickman basically plays Snape again and Timothy Spall basically plays Wormtail again
