Sweeney Todd wasn't as good as I expected...like, I thought there was too much singing. I mean, I know it's meant to be a musical, but moderation, people!!!! Even musicals don't need to have the characters singing in every scene. It started to get really annoying because I was trying to follow the story, and every time they broke into song I couldn't really understand what they were singing. XD Like, it just broke the flow of some parts. It was super bloody as well, but that I expected. Story reminded me a bit of Count of Monte Cristo, except gothic-grunge style. And a ton more gory. xD
But if you like that sort of stuff, you might enjoy the movie! It's certainly worth watching if you like Johnny Depp.
