Sweeney Todd

Dec 2007, Tim Burton, 116 mins

OK, I knew it was going to be a musical but come on. I didn't know it was going to be that much a musical.

Johnny Depp is great, Tim Burton's set designs and effects were masterful but the story seemed to small and... well... musical for me. I wanted what the poster promised me, blood. Though there is a fair share of corn syrup splatter, the middling feel of watching a Broadway play, keeps me from fully liking this movie.

Perhaps my opinion is closed minded, I'm sorry, I thought I went to the movie theater?

All in all, its still a good final product, one that could have been great but was satisfied to just sing sweet nothings to the crowd.

Keep the music, give me my movie.
