The Scariest Barber on Fleet Street Ever

· 🌡️ 37°F

OMG I did not realize Sweeney Todd would be so terrifying and gruesome. LIke i knew what it was about but I thought it would be more fun and heartwarming (not warming in the sense of your heart being baked in a pie). ok maybe nto heartwarming but I thought not sooo scary and disturbing! YEt it was really good and I really like it and form the back Johnny Depp looked like a man dressed as a cat , like in the musical cats, which is never a bad thing! But seriously wowser, disturbing. No redeemingness ever! But good! But scary, like i am kinda scared to go to bed? IS that ridiculous? It was a musical for heaven's sake. But scary!!! @jill thought it would be lighthearted like I knew it wasn't a raucous good time but I didn't realize how dark and disturbing it was! wowser But good and i recommend it

    I'm somewhat leery to take in ANOTHER Tim Burton flick; it always seems like the same recycled material (and actors, for that matter). But I guess this one seems kind of different... Based on your review, maybe I'll end up checking it out.

    I thought there where two redeeming parts and that was that only the rich and Powerfull (mostly) got hurt and the part where they sing about the different people and how they would taste (yes gruesome but also very funny to me). Glad you liked it.

    It was a lot like every other Tim Burton movie except Danny Elfman didn't do the score, rather it was redone by Sondheim. If Elfman did a Elfman version of the original I would have thrown up in the theater. But it was an alright movie.
