Sweeney Todd Review
Written by: grubi666 Ok. I'm not sure what to say about this movie. First of all, you know it's a Tim Burton film, so you know it looks great. The cinematography is very beautiful, the special effects are very well done, the colors, the lighting, everything is visually perfect. But as in most Burton films, in my opinion, the visual is powerful and overwhelming but the movie itself is, uh, not so good. In this case, I beleive it was based on a musical, but the movie really seemed like a cheesy broadway musical, not enough like a movie. The musical element is much too strong, they sing over half the film! The songs are long, they just drag on and on... and they're not that good. The characters are well played though, Alan Rickman is the perfect evil guy, Johnny Depp is great, as always... but still, I have a very hard time listening to broadway-style songs for two hours. For horror fans, I must say the throat-slicing is pretty gory, and there are a few scenes to make you squirm in your seat. (But they do get quite repetitive. How many ways can you slice a throat?) Gore hounds will like maybe 1 per cent of the movie. And broadway musical fans will be shocked by the very graphic horror... So I'm really not sure who this movie will please. It's too musical and cheesy for horror fans, and too horrific for musical fans... I'll have to think about this movie and let it sink in before I really make my opinion. The gore was fun... but the music sucked... but Johnny Depp was quite cute... but they wouldn't stop singing... This is a community member review and not a staff member review.
