Sweeney Todd
Sweeney Todd was finally released here in Australia! I saw it last night and I adored it! Although I was really looking forward to this movie, honestly, I was a little worried that I'd hate it. I think that Johnny Depp is an amazing actor, and Tim Burton is a genius, but I have been a little disappointed by some of Tim's movies.
Where most directors are story-tellers, I think that Tim Burton is more of an artist, and the 'look' of his films is always amazing. Sometimes, however, I think that his movies have ... lacked something. It's almost like the parts of the movie (the story telling, the directing, the acting, etc) are all so wonderful, that I expect something better once they're all put together.
For example, in Corpse Bride, the visuals were amazing, the acting was amazing, the CGI or whatever they used was amazing,... and I liked the movie a lot... but ... I just didn't love it.
But anyway, I'm getting side tracked here! The point is, I was VERY impressed by Sweeney Todd.
I think that Johnny Depp was brilliant (particularly considering that he has never sung on camera before), and the movie was so well directed and put together. Tim Burton is a genius!
And now I can't get this song out of my head:
There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
And it's filled with people who are filled with shit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it...
And now I shall leave you with a lovely picture of Johnny as Todd:

I really hope that you enjoy the movie. Although there is a lot of singing, I think that it's very well done, and worth seeing just for Johnny's great acting in it. I think that he plays the role very very well. :)

Seriously though, great movie - thanks for the recommendation! :D
