Movie Reviews of Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Sweeney Todd
Summary: 5 Stars
Ive got to say that this is one of Johnny Depps best movies he plays these people that are just crazy but he always dose it great thats what i love about this movie the singing was also great this movie was one of the best i have ever seen a must have in and dvd collectionMovie Review: Love this version too.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the older versions of this bizarre tale, so I wasn't sure I'd like this one, but it's wonderful. A dark comedy with fitting music and quick action that keeps your attention. Though the story is a bit morbid, it is certainly entertaining. A great cast was chosen for this re-make. Depp and Helena Bonham Carter worked well together. Depp plays the mad barber set on revenge and Helena is delightful as the frumpy pie shop owner who is dedicated and intent on keeping Sweeney Todd for herself, though she knows his love is saved for his daughter and lost wife. Can't help but feel a little sorry for both characters.

Movie Review: SWING YOUR BLADE HIGH SWENNEY REACH FOR THE SKY!
Summary: 5 Stars
Oh My God! That's all you can say when watching Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. This is one movie that needs to be added to your collection.
I know that I am not a musical man, but if you like Burton/Depp's collaborations in the past, "Ed Wood, Edward Scissor Hands, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" You will jump to the ceiling for this one.
Great musical, with blood and gore! Who can expect even more? Great cast and the direction is TOP KEY which will keep you entertain until the ending credits come up. Please buy this film, it's a memory that will be with you for a life time!

One of my favs. I got this DVD within a week and it was new and in mint condition. Very pleased.Movie Review: Stands on its own
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a long-time fan of the original Broadway musical, so I kept noticing the differences between the versions. This does not make the movie any less excellent; its medium is different and some sacrifices have to be made to appeal to a larger audience. For example, Judge Turpin is shown to be much more openly perverse in the movie rather than the musical, and his piousness is downplayed to make him more of a cheer-when-the-bad-guy-gets-it villain (note that, in the musical, Turpin plays Peeping Tom on his ward even has he's /flagellating himself/ asking for forgiveness from God, making him look more like a tortured soul). Other than the requisite simplifications to prevent it from taking three hours, the movie stands well on its own with a darker, grittier take; there's definitely more 'dark' than 'comedy' here. Johnny Depp has been rightfully praised for his performance; his decision to attempt more of a punk rock angle rather than an operatic singer certainly plays to the strengths in his voice and actually strengthens the character as well, given how he manages to spit out lyrics drenched with hate and revenge... musically.
