Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)


I finally saw this movie and man, it was as beautiful and twisted as I knew it would be. 

You know exactly what to expect from a Tim Burton movie...fantastic, over the top characters...gorgeous cinematography....hey, I'll even give him credit for his Planet of the Apes remake. I can't really say anything bad about this movie...I don't know what could have been done any better. It really is a flawless piece of filmmaking art.

The only thing I didn't love was the musical aspect of it...the whole thing is a musical if you didn't know. Not that it was bad at all by any means, but it's not exactly a movie I could watch over and over again like nearly all of my Burton faves. But it's definitely a movie everyone should experience at least once (if you can handle a little blood splattering gore!)

I give it a 9/10.
