Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (DVD)

I watched this DVD out of pure curiosity to listen to Johnny Depp and Alan Rickman singing; I didn't think they could! While their voices are not the greatest, the acting quality made up for what they lacked in tone.
The costumes and sets looked good and the whole effect blended well. Special effects were quite dramatic; I don't think one human body holds quite so much blood, or that it flows out quite so smoothly when a throat is cut! I have seen animals killed this way; however, I can overlook that small complaint in the overall enjoyment watching this film gave.
Depp's portrayal of insanity was convincing and Rickman's ability to portray an unpleasant character is second to none.
I am a fan of both actors and once again they did not fail to entertain.

This film is a musical which is about a barber named 'Benjamin Barker' whos life was ruined when he was exhiled from the country leaving his wife and chld behind.. Many years later he returns but under a new name 'Sweeney todd' and he is back for revenge this time. When i first heard about this film i was excited, Johnny Depp is a fantastic actor and has been in many Tim Burton films, however i was unsure whether it would work as him being a singing part. i was plesently suprised when i did get to see it though, theres a lot of blood and gore in this film so be advised before watching it, but its a great film even if you only see it once.

Great film, never been a fan of musicals but really enjoyed this. not for the faint hearted though there's lots of claret!

Johnny Depp is an excellent actor & i must say he played this part exceptionally well. A great film to watch & a well made film.
I've wanted this film for a while & came across a 'buy it now' at a reasonable price on Ebay so i couldn't of asked for more.
