I was interested to see this, I’m not a fan of musicals but and I was interested to see Depp in a musical role.
Its a well made film, looks great, really dark in typical Burton style. Very good performances from Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter. But, being so familiar with the story I have to be honest I was just waiting for the gory bits, and it is gory, its even an 18 and you don’t get many of those these days, and once I’d seen the gore I was waiting for the end.
Leave ’til its on the telly

One response to “Sweeney Todd”
Can you believe our local theatre showed this as a Screaming Season Session for mum’s and babies!
When I said I didn’t agree, the lady working there asked how old Lewis was. At the time he was 10 months old and she replied “oh they don’t know anything at that age do they”!!
Babies know when their mum’s are frightened, they’re sensitive little things, of course he’s going to know what’s going on
Did anyone catch the Ray Winstone one on TV tonight? T’was a bit gory but def not as gory as Burton’s creation!
