I just watched it again this morning and I still like it as much as before. I think I remember it getting bad reviews because of all the blood but who cares if there is alot of blood if the movie is a good as this one.

I enjoyed it. Not something I'd typically watch, but it was entertaining. Johnny Depp has a surprisingly good voice, also.

Brilliant, not your ordinary movie when on a date, but still it was pretty good.

My mum rented it from Lovefilm but didnt watch it, so I took it upstairs and watched it. I liked it, the ending is a bit WTF though.

It was disturbing. I liked it and all, but yeah. . .

And why is it that Helena Bonham Carter seems to play only creepy-ass roles--and does it exceptionally well? >_>

I liked it quite a lot, even if it was very bloody and the subplot wasn't resolved.

I really liked it. The only part I disliked was the song early on about the nasty pies.

It was ok, singing was pretty bad and the blood looked stupid. Tim Burton is a very overrated director.

LOL. I'm just imaging this guy taking notes during the movie and putting his hand to his ear trying to judge the pitch of the actors voices so he could say that.

That is a pretty ridiculous claim... pretty much everyone in that movie is pitch-perfect.

It got great reviews. And the people who didn't like it just thought the Broadway version was better.

I love it, but then again I love every Burton movie. I know all the songs. I am pushing for a stage production at my school next year.

I didn't really like it. It just felt way to over the top to me. Granted, I don't watch a lot of musicals.

I wouldn't throw Film-Guy's movie credibility down the toilet just because he didn't enjoy Sweeney Todd as much as the next guy...

I just think they didnt sound too good. Helena Bonham carter especially sounded like she was trying too hard. I find her quite overrated anyway. Tim Burton only casts her because they are married. Kinda like how the Coen brothers cast Frances Mcdormand but she is better than Helena imo. Also Alan Rickman singing? Really? He is a fantastic actor but why cast him in a damn musical? The singing was nowhere near as good as the various stage versions I have seen. Also I saw Ben Kingsley play Sweeney todd once in a movie and he was much better than Depp.

I'm incredibly squeamish.

Have to say I didn't really like it to much. If you aren't disturb by the blood I can see why you can like it.

Not appealing enough to go out of my way and watch it.
