Accomplishes two things: creates one of the most visually beautiful (or terrible) Burton films in a long while, and creates throat-slitting urges whenever anybody sings a note.

Burton's aesthetics are still there but at the end it comes down to the singing: the songs are mainly boring and there are too many of them. Depp and Bonham Carter are strong as well as Rickman and Baron Cohen, but still - a huge, huge disappointment.

For a Depp film...this one felt a little bit overworked. The world seemed a little familiar already and the character was a little rehash of Edward Scissorhands. The lead roles were well cast, though, and no one plays Edward Scissorhands better the second time around as Johnny Depp.

Sweeney Todd is a great musical. The film is okay, but was not marketed as a musical, which is strange because I would say 80% of the movie is music. Tim Burton does some interesting things with this film. 1.) It's the bloodiest musical ever made. 2.) Burton casts two non-musical actors as his leads. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are not strong singers, but fake their way through it. Bonham Carter is great, but Depp is a disappointment as he wears a permanent scowl through the whole film.

Ticks all the usual Burton boxes. Dark? Check. Blackly comedic? Check. Depp and Bonham-Carter? Check. Certainly not Burton's best effort. The source material is mostly to blame for that. Whilst some of the songs are very good, others much weeker or confusing (can't deal with two people singing different things at once). Overall though I really enjoyed it as something a bit different.

With Burton's recent track record even a promising project outline can end in disaster. However here the deliciously (pun intended) dark source material is a perfect match for the director whose gothic imagery is his trademark. It's a musical ... something which a lot of the marketing seemed to deliberately avoid admitting ... which slows the pace down in places. However the songs frequently hit the mark and help serve up a unique flavour in Burton's filmography.

Tim Burton should work on his own musicals. This one was an alternative to other musicals and the ending was pretty cool. But overall, neither Burton's directing nor Depp's acting can make it interesting enough. The only wild card Sweeney has is its gore material, nothing more.

Surprisingly sedate considering the murder / revenge / cannibalism-centric plot, perhaps because this is so tailored to Burton and Depp's style that it feels predictable. It certainly passed the time, Alan Rickman could give a great performance acting across from a ham, and I enjoyed the gory kills (despite the too-bright blood), but all and all I found it fairly unimpressive.

I have a lot of problems with this movie...Although the story is, of course, great and the style is pretty cool, there are some things that just ruin it for me. Johnny Depp is simply a "passable" singer and was brooding about 99% of the time, Helena Bonham Carter was just there, Antony and Johanna were completely ruined, they cut out some really good songs, and Dark Comedy is really given a back seat. It just pales in comparison to the stage show.

I'm not that big of a Tim Burton fan, and I'm not really into musicals either, so all in all I actually enjoyed it better than I thought I would. Johnny Depp is quite a good singer, though it was Helena Bonham Carter that made the best impression on my singing-wise. I did enjoy the dark and bloody cinematography, and the music in general, but I couldn't really connect to the movie.

The Grand-Guignol Broadway musical (words and music by Sondheim), Tim Burtonized for Hollywood. Which means, among other things (such as less music), a ton-of-bricks production design, an ashen color scheme sometimes edging up to the border of black-and-white (excluding the rivers, lakes, geysers of rich red blood), and the de rigueur Depp, showing off a diffident singing voice, as a frightfully frigid avenger, chilling in quite the wrong way.

Burton's trademark style is wonderfully suited for this tale, infusing it with just the right amount of macabre horror and black humor. While thought the trio of Depp, Carter, and Rickman were great (I thought Carter was a standout), the younger actors irritated me and the songs were hit and miss.

I'll say this for Burton: he didn't flinch. In bringing this material from the stage to the screen, it would have been easy to soften it, finesse away the darkest of the dark elements, demurely turn the camera away whenever the title character opened up another throat. Instead all of its anger and brutality are intact. It's a solid effort, but also somewhat constrained. Save for the number "By the Sea," none of the staging is especially novel. If great films sing, "Sweeney Todd" hums.

You need to have an appreciation of musicals to enjoy this movie. I do, and thus I loved this rendition of Sweeney Todd. I also adore Rickman, Bonham Carter and Depp, and felt they each did their characters complete justice, each having their own beautiful moments that can send chills. It's a dark movie, as most Tim Burton movies are, so be prepared for the usual bloodfest when diving into Sweeney Todd, but the humor is undeniable there at the same time. Dark, quirky, and enjoyable.

Good but incredibly flawed. The visual design was some of Burton's weakest. The lighting was overly dark and tended toward the monochromatic. Perhaps the most glaring flaw though was that Depp is too good of an actor for a film of this style. He tries to simultaneously do things over-the-top an stay wthin his character but ultimately fails to work well as either. A worse actor or possibly a comedian might have been able to do the part better. With that said, Jamie Campbell Bower is a pretty man.

Sweeney Todd is, in short, a great film. The way it's set-up, crafted, presented and acted is all amazing. This is a film that draws you in from the opening sequence, and holds your attention until the credits role. And absolute wonder to behold and listen to, thanks to actors who are also talented singers. Unfortunately, the excessive gore does detract from the otherwise serious nature of the murders within. Give Sweeney Todd a watch, as it is well worth your time.

I feel that they did a great job adapting this stage musical to a screen musical. The acting was great, and the music was great as well. But, any Sweeny Todd music fan should know that they did eliminate some of the large ensemble music, which I felt was a detriment to the musical.

I came into this with the bias that I had seen this musical on stage, and viewed it often on tape over the years, so I defintely had issues with the "voices" of these "non-singers", but after 20 minutes of getting over that, I really enjoyed how the material transferred to the screen. Especially in the hands of Tim Burton. He did some wonderfully visual things, (giving characters to each type of pie to "A Little Priest"; taking us into Lovett's fantasy in "By the Sea"), that won me over...

Delightfully gorey. Wickedly musical. Hints of our favorite Depp characters combine into an original persona who is both likeable and sinister. At first, it's "No! Not another Johnny Depp/Tim Burton/Helena Bonham Carter movie!" Yet, these three seem to be able make movie magic on almost everything they touch. Finally, the plot twists and turns make a person wonder whether Sweeney Todd deserves redemption or retribution.

I remember seeing this at the cinemas and I thought it was a terrific experience. Watching it again now, not so much. I dig the semi-Gothic style going on and a few of the songs are well sung, have good lyrics, and its cinematic rendering seems nicely done -- not so much with the other songs, especially the horrendous romantic sub-plot between the two young ones. Gross!

To be honest this is probably an unfair score, but I really just didn't dig it. For me, in the last few years Burton is trying to hard to make things as dark as possible (see Depp hair in this one for reference) when his best movies, while very dark didn't take it to this extreme. In truth aside from my gripe with Burton and the fact I felt this film was to long, its pretty decent and I would recommend.

Pretty boring, but the music was creative, although not very memorable. Go see the actual play if you have a chance, but if not I suppose this could do.

Alright musical. Very Burtonish, specially visual part. Lots of CGI. This was not Sacha's kind of movie.

Enjoyable, and impressive singing from actors that don't normally use that talent.

Some of the songs are just awful, as is part of the plot too. Depp, Carter and Burton's visual style aren't enough to make this good, just ok.

A captivating adaption of the Broadway musical. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter have great chemistry and the set and visuals were well-done.

Skuffende, bare skuffende. Ikke at det er en "musical" men over sangenes kvalitet. Langsommelige og kedelig sange, uden liv. Selv en formidabel billedside og en god historie kan ikke redde den - æv..

This described as a "suspense/thriller, crime" is a crime in itself. This movie was clearly meant to be a comedy as was the play. I quite enjoyed this movie and the songs. "The worst pies in londonnnnn la la la"

Bad songs, terrible CGI and bland staging. Good ending but still overall a stilted bore.

An excellent, serious adaptation of the stage musical, Burton's gothic sensibilities more than work wonders for Stephen Sondheim's intrincate, great score, along with Jonathan Tunick's new orchestrations. To date, this seems Burton's more well-rounded and satisfying work and he doesn't shy away from the blood, either. Highly recommended.
