Sweeney Todd Review!!!!

It has finally arrived!!!

The movie 28 years in the making, and just how good is "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," you ask?

Very.

Just like the majority of film critics have already said, this is Tim Burton's best film since "Ed Wood." Possibly better? That's a discussion for another time.
Johnny Depp. Scary as hell. Amazing, creepy, just about every adjective you can use to describe his awesomeness. He brings a new level of terror to Sweeney that I have never seen before. He will hopefully be a big contender for this year's Best Actor Oscar.
Helena Bonham Carter. Very nice as well. She does what she can with the character, and is quite successful in doing so. By the Sea was probably the funniest of the comical sequences in the film. It's just that her singing voice, is a bit too light for me.
Alan Rickman. A stellar performance, to say the least. Quite creepy, and cool and such.
Timothy Spall. Bad teeth. Good performance.
Jamie Campbell Bower and Jayne Wisener were both good as Anthony and Johanna, respectively.
Laura Michelle Kelly also was good as the beggar woman.
Edward Sanders gave a chillingly creepy performance as Tobias.
And of course, Sacha Baron Cohen was hilarious in his role of Pirelli.

The film's ending is probably the creepiest ending to a film I've seen in years.
I hope this makes alot of money in its run.
At least it has gained near critical acclaim.
And hopefully gain alot of Awards/nominations.

Ta Ta, peeps, and remember,

Sweeney's Waiting.......
