Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Muito bom Filme, nao sei dizer se a historia que e boa ou o detale das musicas.
Johnny Depp como de costume em seus filmes esta muito bem no papel.

vale a pena assistir =]

I hate musicals with a passion but this- this doesn't count. It's one of my all time favourite movies and Johnny & Helena did an absolutely incredible job at once again being creepy and murderous. Definitely a must watch

Sorry submitted accidentally.. Ahem, as I was saying... I'm drawn to musicals about as much as the KKK is to fair rights movement. So I watched this with some reluctance and only for the cast and Burtons direction. I came expecting little and walked away engaged, mesmerized and utterly impressed. Not sure Burton has done anything better since frankly. Check it out.

Sweeney Todd marks Tim Burtons sixth collaboration with Johnny Depp and the fifth with partner Helena Bonham Carter.

Visually stunning, Sweeney Todd is a musical with the darkest of sensibilities; the squeamish take heed.

Depp's haunted Todd, filled with hatred and sorrow, won him several awards including a Golden Globe.

The film features solid support from Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall and Sasha Baron Cohen.

The musical numbers are evocative and often darkly humourous.


I've watched this film many times, and will many more. From set design to warddrobe, performance to the musical numbers, Sweeney Todd hits all the right marks for me. I have the soundtrack on my iPod and replicas of Todd's cutthroat razors on display in my theatre room.

There is nothing quite like it.

Una de las mejores de Burton, el reparto no pudo ser mejor y la actuación es una simple maravilla.

Exceptional work in this film! Excellent work by all who had a hand in making this one come to life.

I love a good musical. This one has it all - wonderful songs, engaging story, beautiful costumes. I love to listen to the soundrack every so often too.

Added bonus is Alan Rickman whose voice I greatly adore too - Clive Owen has a bit similar timbre but I never heard him sing anything.

"There was a barber and his wife, and she was beautiful. A foolish barber and his wife. She was his reason and his life, and she was beautiful. And she was virtuous. And he was..."

The last great movie from Tim Burton.

Sure, Frankenweenie and Big Eyes were fine, but I honestly felt his heart and soul went into this movie than his recent ones.

The bloodiest musical ever staged and I loved it.

'Sweeney Todd' is a fantastic dark tale of bloody revenge with bottled up sorrow. There's something incredibly spectral about the atmosphere throughout the movie that uniquely blends shadows and darkness to create traumatic events. However, the movie isn't shy away of dark humor.

With it being a musical, the songs are all equally brilliant. My favorites are between "My friends" and "Pretty women". In "My Friends", Depp not only sings, but express so much emotion through his eyes and face. There's sadness, pain, hatred, and a dirty plan sparkling in the barbers eyes, which was marvelously portrayed by Johnny Depp. I don't understand why people criticize Depp's singing, it's so beautiful.

Helen Bonham Carter is spectacular as the ghostly, but still gorgeous looking Mrs. Lovett. I love how even in her fantasies during the musical segment "By the Sea", Sweeney is still uninterested in her, because she never sees him smile, so even in her fantasies he's still rejecting her. It's pretty sad to be honest.

Sacha Baron Cohen, Alan Rickman and Timothy Spall were all excellent in their meaty roles. I find it interesting that a lot of the main characters in the movie are horrible people. I mean there are some decent folks in the story, but evil overshadows them.

The production and costume design are freaking superb and stood at to me the most. It adds so much to the environment and the overall tone of the movie. The score gives a major Phantom of the Opera vibe and I freaking love it.

Overall rating: Coming to think of it, Burton just made the best adaptation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide. Sweeney Todd wants to kill and Benjamin Barker wants to see his family.

i love a good harry potter reunion film

I truly believe that Helena Bonham Carter does her best work when handed dark-grey characters to mess around with. The lead characters all have great chemistry.. Swing your razor wide!
