Well, i heard a lot about Sweeney Todd, before Tim Burton came to make the film, and i obviously was intrigued, i mean, a barber that kills people and then his landlord (rather, landlady) serves them up in little easy to manage meat pies.
I went to watch it last night and i felt like clapping for many scenes, Burton is a visionary. Stylistically and visually it is STUNNING! And Johnny Depp blew me away with his singing (still humming some of the demonic tunes today - "I will have vengeance!")
Admittedly, i knew what it was about (a murderous rampage where a barber seeks revenge for his illegal arrest and the stealing of his family, set in london, and oh yes, it's a musical) and i just wanted the killing to start. Once it did, it was FANTASTIC!
Todd is definitely one to see on the big screen, and is on my DVD collection list.
