Best musical ever

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2013)

I, personally have not seen a better musical. First time I watched this movie I did not expect a musical but a horror. I was dragged into the movie quickly with the mystery of what happened to Barker. By the the halfway point of the movie I was very pleased.
The movie is not as violent or gory as some make it out to be, but if you thought Lord of the Rings (my other favorite movie) was too violent then this movie surly would be. The gore is done more in an artistic way, showing Todd's mood. Without giving anything away, I must say it has to be seen rather than read about.
Assuming the reader is either seeing what others think of the movie after watching the movie or seeing what others think of the movie before watching, the latter should forget that it is a musical before they watch it. Nobody likes musicals that I know of but all who have seen this movie that I know love this movie.
The romance, the despair, the anger, how every second of the movie achieves more than one emotion; and not to mention the music is unlike the typical musical. This is a must see. If you scare easy this isn't horror, but if homicidal maniacs are your fear best avoid, but the character is actually a character you can connect to.
