    Stephen Sondheim's award-winning musical thriller Sweeney Todd comes to the big screen in this adaptation directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen, Timothy Spall, and Alan Rickman. Embittered at having been wrongly imprisoned and determined to seek vengeance against his accusers due to the grim fate that befell his wife and daughter while he was incarcerated, ex-convict Sweeney Todd (Depp) returns to his hometown and opens a modest barber shop. The one thing different about Todd's shop, however, is that no one who walks in for a trim is ever seen again. Subsequently branded "The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" by the frightened community, Todd continues with his murderous exploits with a little assistance from his amorous accomplice Mrs. Lovett (Bonham Carter) -- whose popular meat pies are proven to have a most unsavory ingredient.

    February 28, 2009: I know half of the people that have seen this say it sucked and the other half enjoyed it.I am one of those people who absolutely enjoyed it.I loved it.I mean the first time I saw this I didn't know what to think but eventually it soaked in and I was amazed.I have to say this wasn't half bad considering that this was Mr.Depp's first musical.Tim Burton is my favorite director and Johnny is my second favorite actor.If it wasn't for Heath Ledger he would be my favorite actor.He surprised me with his singing.I thought it wasn't half bad.

    October 23, 2008: I was really looking forward to this movie, but wound up disappointed and sorry that I wasted my time and money. I like musicals. I like Tim Burton. I really, really like Johnny Depp. This should have been right up my alley, but it left me cold. While I admired the actors and think that Tim did his best, the story itself didn't interest me in the slightest. I guess Sondheim is an aquired taste.
