Sweeny Todd

OK, prepare for lots of singing.

This flick was twisted, as are all of Tim Burton's movies. However, this was his first foray into musicals. Don't get me wrong, I really liked the movie, but damn, do you have to sing so friggin much?

You know the story. Sweeny Todd was a great barber in England until he got arrested on some trumped up charges so a judge could take his wife. So he decided to kill a lot of people and use their flesh to make meat pies. Same old story, right?

I TRULY liked this movie, but I've seen a lot of musicals. NONE of them had as much singing as this one. There is barely any dialogue. Johnny Depp is great. Helena Bohnam Carter is great. Alan Rickman is great. Ali G is great. But really....do you have to sing so much?

So, if you like musicals, this one's right up your alley. If you don't, you'll probably still like it cause Tim Burton is awesome.

Overall score: 4 out of 5 slit throats.
