[videogamer381]

I now know where ubisoft got there design for the barber multiplayer character from

Who else thinks so?

[afidork]

this is one of the few movies I can watch over and over again. I remember after seeing it in theaters it couldnt escape my head. Great music, respectable acting. I didnt like everyone's performance (Johana's for example) but Judge Turpin did an amazing job and sadly that was over looked in this film. I agree this isnt a film for everyone, I was a 15 year goth kid with a mohawk when this film came out, so of course I liked the dark directing of Burton. So for me it's:

BETTER THAN SEX

[MichaelBlue1990]

betther then sex

[avenueyay]

amazing movie

[SarcasticSploosh]

to me jonny depp as sweeney todd was an older edward scissor hands who was trying too impersonate jack sparrow

[woodywoodpecker896]

this film was well directed and acted but there is way to much sining and the dialoge didnt keep my intrested

Matinee

[BlackbirdMatt]

@woodywoodpecker896 its a musical, there will be singing.

[woodywoodpecker896]

@BlackbirdMatt im just saying there to much sining theress nothing wrong with singing but about 3/4 into the movie when there was a son g i was just bored and was waiting for it to be over

[rightattheunicorn]

Every single f*cking thing you say here is so funny!

I loved when you said, "Are you talking about him, or the giant thing in his pants?"

[SSdetectiveagency]

I loved this movie but...then again I can't find any Tim Burton movie I don't like I just love Tim's style! :D is there anyone who doesn't much care for Tim Burton but still loves this movie?

[Frisby2007]

Anything Tim Burton makes is genius. ANYTHING.

[luchadorbig]

@Frisby2007 planet of the apes ?

[Frisby2007]

@luchadorbig <.<

"Anything Tim Burton makes is genius. ANYTHING."

[PumaSweat]

is there a rating worst than Some ol BS?

BECAUSE THIS WAS AWLFUL IN EVERYWAY POSSIBLE. HATED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I fell asleep literally. No Story, Boring character, music was ugh!, boring, bad FX

Too long, over rated Johnny Depp, in a character worse than that pirate.

I HATE THIS MOVIE LIKE RACISM!!

[drago40998]

@PumaSweat yes the lowest rating is F**K Y*U

[PumaSweat]

@drago40998 Then I'm creating a new one for this movie excusively called

"Get Raped" cause it was pure misery. Would make Hitler sit thru this. Worse than planet of the apes remake bad.

[SocialAesthetics]

No the first emo musical.

Go check out Repo: The Genetic Opera

[RustRooster]

Bulls**t review

[strickerman101]

meet pies m m m toasty

[blazejames47]

movie looked freakin weird

[SSdetectiveagency]

when I first heard about this movie I thought this is too stupid to be true I mean think about it! its a musical about a serial killer barber that makes his victims into cracker jack meat pies! you just can't make that into a musical! but after I saw it I really loved it Tim Burton is a very creative yet creepy movie genius and Johnny is as weird as ever! Full price for me

[Pooky1991]

IDK What it is about Depp but he can play any role and still look sexy. Except the Chocolate factor movie. shivers...

[DestroyerofWorlds10]

i bet his barber shop is called Head-Cutters

[XXNeMo818XX]

Best thing about this movie was the final furnace scene. That's bout it. -shrug- Tim Burton should just have sex with Depp already if he loves him so damn much.

[notyouraveragething]

"No wonder he was killing people his name was f*cking Sweeney" ....MY last name is Sweeney.....geez :P

[auqablue400]

@notyouraveragething awesomeness! :)

[ZeeJules67]

I don't really dig the whole Burton take on films :I.

I do, however, like this film and some other good works that now seem to be scarce within him.

I want him to stop fucking using Depp though.

He can make better movies without using Depp.

Also, I think burton should stop doing remakes :I.

He can be original, but status has crawled up his ass along with the whole Teen-like angst in his films.

[moonlily1]

@ZeeJules67 ah, but johnny depp did a very fine job in this film! i can't think of an actor I would have liked better in this part. and why not use and re-use an actor he's comfortable with and understands his vision? indie directors do it all the time; woody allen did it for at least 10 years w/ Mia Farrow. at least johnny depp and tim burton aren't sleeping together. presumably.

[mindtree2003]

[Jon72Flores]

its three in the morning. ive watched about 15 of these reviews. they are freakin hilarious.

[samfisher170]

FULL PRICE IT WAS  VERY GOOD MOVIES

[kopokemon]

How you said meat pies made me rofl

[TheSaintJuliet]

I only saw the part where the lady got pushed into the oven. Wasn't the best thing to see before falling asleep lol

[DaSpartan71]

I haven't seen this in a while but what ever happened to the sailor guy in the end?

[djangogeek]

@DaSpartan71 Oh my god plot hole. it never showed... I didnt even think about that until you brought it up.

[brinirox]

i am still not sure wether I really hated this movie or really loved it... I AM SO CONFUSED my favorite scene was when Toby was singing to mrs lovett not while I'm around and I hated when toby was in the basement and he found a finger in his meat pie and I HATED HATED HATED the end when toby killed Sweeny Todd my favorite character was Toby.. until he killed Sweeny Todd...

[idkwhourandidc]

Funny piece of info that some people might not know: the musical, the original Broadway musical, is based off of the story of a real mass murderer in 19th century London

[puppetmaster1011]

I'm not a big fan of musicals, even though there are plenty I do like. I loved this movie, it was right up my alley. Tim Burton is a weird, but cool filmmaker.

[Gabriolus]

it is me or does any one else thing Tim and Johnny are secretly the same dude..

I dont think i ever seen a tim borton movie without johnny

[jojoworld12345]

I love you guys! I laugh so hard at evey review you guys do and agree with mostly all of them. Because I love Johnny Depp and Tim Burton so much I really liked this film. I didn't care for the music part I wanted them to just talk and that maybe because I am not a big musical fan but I did love the film and it was a matinee for me.

[vonnyyay]

full price it was the awesome!

[muthrukdarl]

"Like this, like this, I'm talking just like this. I'm going to take a sh*t now." Brilliant.

[lovettlove4todd]

im suprrised that thay did not tolk about helelna bonham carter's boobs in almost every part in the movie I love that movie but come on tim burton we get it your wife has big boobs

[midprod]

I rally dug this movie

[moonlily1]

'emo'? god I hate that word, it means absolutely nothing. it certainly is not the same as goth. totally fake genre label. no band calls themselves emo, no one calls themselves an emo. can we just drop that from the vernacular already?

[prpletay724]

I love when Tim Burton and Johny Depp work together because when they do, they make some awesome movies! I loved this, It put together dark 18th century Britain, musicals, and Johny Depp some of my favorite things! :D

[3917Monkey]

original gothic horror film with great performances and some really good gore not for everyone but I really enjoyed it full price

[olderthan1875]

Excellent movie

[vampirelovewerewolf]

OMG Yes to the final comment, cnt stop cutting XD

[jmiester25]

def. gotta see this. Alan Rickman is in it

[Keitafox]

I hated the "style" of this, oooooo black and white and red, that's never been done before! :D Tim needs to get his head back in the game.

[AngelDust155]

@Keitafox Well it apparently got great reviews and his fans seemed to love it, it's one of my favorite movies ever. His head has always been in the game

[Keitafox]

@AngelDust155 That's because a good portion of Burton's fans are mindless drones that think everything he creates is an instant Oscar winner. Burton hasn't made an original film since the 90's, that's sad. And all of his remakes end up being plastic and hollow. The last great film he worked on was Big Fish, and that was because he left his pasty white comfort zone and didn't use Depp. He's not a film god.

[AngelDust155]

@Keitafox Right, so EVERYONE that loves his films (which are a LOT of people) are stupid, and people like you are smart and know everything? Ya, right. And also, he made Corpse Bride a few years ago that was also a hit.

It's rather sad how you have to put those down that really enjoy his work, if you don't like his work then don't watch it and don't bother messing with it.

[Keitafox]

@AngelDust155 Did I say EVERYONE that liked his films were mindless drones? No, no I didn't. You need to stop jumping to conclusions or else you'll make yourself look more like a moron then you already are. Also, Corpse Bride was hit with mixed reviews because everyone was comparing it to NBC with the majority hating it. I don't hate Burton, I just think he's lost his touch. Also, if you're allowed to praise him then I have every right to slander him if I want to. Freedom of Speech FTW.

[AngelDust155]

@Keitafox Mixed but mostly positive, read more reviews.

So, what's wrong with spreading love? This worlds already full of useless hate, we don't need anymore. I really don't care if you dislike it, but don't diss Tim Burton on a place like youtube and not expect people to stand up for him.

[Keitafox]

@AngelDust155 I don't know about you, but the majority said that it was bland. Also, Burton's starting to lose his love because his movies are getting more and more terrible, especially since that god-awful Alice film, this "hate" is coming from the fact that he can't tell a decent story to save his life anymore. I don't care that it's youtube, I'm allowed to say what I want regardless of whether or not it's in favor of Burton. He is now the gothic Michael Bay, no story, all flash.

[AngelDust155]

@Keitafox Well IDK where you're reading it. Rotton Tomatoe gave it a 83%.

Well ya know what, fine, you don't have to like it, but don't say Burton's lost his touch since millions would disagree with you, in YOUR opinion, he has, but not everyone. And yes you can say whatever you want, but that doesn't really give it a good reason, know who else had opinions? Hitler, the KKK

[Keitafox]

@AngelDust155 So... You're going to compare what a LOT of critics are saying, Burton losing his touch, to Hitler and the KKK? Wow, how immature are you? Is Burton really that much of a film GOD that saying he sucks is enough to get you crucified? I'm a film student, so I take movies seriously. I'm alright with movies being a fun ride, but Sweeny and Alice weren't even that. They were bland pieces of crap that depended too heavily on the celebrity roles. Grow the fuck up, watch Up instead.

[DII117]

Johnny Depp cant sing for shit and the ending was disapointing! Definitly a rental!

[lolmuffins123]

@DII117 Thank you! He's in like, every Tim Burton movie!

[DII117]

when he did edward scissor hands, did he sign some sort of contract that held him to tim burton for the rest of his acting carrier?

[lolmuffins123]

@DII117 I don't think so, I'd assume it's just cause he's an emo.

[DII117]

Well one things for sure, he cant escape 1700s 1800s britain

[Vahriotee]

ohmigosh!! the " i cant stop cutting" had me in hysterics!

[garner4christ]

This Movie was Excellent. Luv Johnny Depp!

[mrspideyguy]

I'm sorry, bad review. Corey has the only good taste in this one. The movie was brilliant.

And HELLO! It;s a GOTHIC musical! Not emo.

And it's Tim Burton so the dark characters he created are going to have similarities to his version of Sweeney Todd. How could you NOT like Tim Burton? He's a GENIUS!!!

[k0walsk]

Was that the girl who also has a part in Fightclub?

[ROCKBANDDUDE666]

you should reveiw the devils rejects

[gamingeagle19]

this was a rare bad review. The movie was brilliant.

[07liberian]

I Want Johnny Depp's Jacket In The Movie.

[jjoche]

i actually dint like this movie, I thought this was a scary movie or an action movie and i got a fucking musical. I'm not saying this movie is stupid or bad but is totally not for me. And the songs were too long. I was going insane of boredom

[lilmanual]

@jjoche me too. story was good though

[ArmySFOD1st]

in order a fuck you some ol bull shit rental matinee, full price, better than sex

[BenBaderDesings]

I loved this film^^ i love tim burton, and a Depp/Burton coop is always good^^ beter than sex to me

[MusicalMaiden92]

The musical score wasn't so bad - but the musical score was really the only thing that kept me watching it, apart from the beginning of the story concept. I mean, wouldn't anyone notice besides Sweeney's old psycho wife that NO ONE was coming out of his shop alive? Come on! And the ending, for me, sucked. It was like, "Wtf? That's it?" I thought it was sad that Sweeney met his daughter but didn't know it was her and that he killed his wife. Its a matinee, almost a rental.

[AzraeltheJackdaw]

I think the film would have been better if, rather than actually having Helena Bonham Carter sing, they replaced her vocals with Angela Lansbury, who was the original Mrs. Lovett. She had the look, but the performance suffered from her singing.

[MusicalMaiden92]

Are you serious? They replaced her voice?

[AzraeltheJackdaw]

No, I was saying that they should have. If you've ever heard Angela Lansbury sing Mrs. Lovett, you'll know what I mean.

[MusicalMaiden92]

I have heard a song from Angela Lansbury with a Sweeney Todd voice, and she sings lovely.

[JishanHeath]

better than sex

[9987ifY]

Better than sex! Theres gonna be a new vampire movie with Johnny in it with Tim Directing it.

[Dragoneye47]

OH SRSLY!!?!?!?!?! When is it commin' out!?

[9987ifY]

Some time in 2010 or 2011 it's gonna be emense!

[Xardas5]

BETTER THAN SEX!!!

Not the best film of all time but personaly my favorite film of all time

[femmefatale1990]

"how are you gonna trust a barber who can't cut his own crazy ass hair"

LMFAO!! so true!

[SmileyNathalie]

I saw this movie when I was like 11 or 12. I was fucking terrified. Now I watch it and I'm like, o.O.

[dmpeter10]

i didnt like the movie so....i would give it some old b#ll s@#t

this is not the kind of movie i like

[FatalJapan]

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton are the best mix.

[xgoobiangel]

i think there a different between the emo/goth subculture fads and the art style gothic. gothic is a dark and elegant form of art that Tim Burton captures in his movies, its not emo. emo/goth is a fad that pussy little teenagers conform to.

[redhotnica]

to xgoobiangel,

right on!

and i loved this film. it really is a great one only the blood at times looked far too fake

[patti985]

@xgoobiangel they use it as an accessory but it's a state of mind

[strawberryicemint]

@xgoobiangel just a guess. your goth?

[rocksock00444]

@xgoobiangel i totaly agree with you mate

[tazmon122]

i don't like tim burton for the same reason i don't like marilyn manson, those 2 are the poster child of the gothic subculture to hollywood. but i liked this, what i didn't like was the song cutting. perfect casting, i wanna see the cast do the broadway version

[romas1995]

the film is awesome !

not one of burton's best but again its an awesome movie.

[WhatWouldntRandyDo]

*Sigh* Just another Tim Burton film=(

[JagSmakarSkit]

Better than sex for me.

Johnny Depp is an AMAZING actor and you can just give him any character, and he'll make it his own and even better than you ever could've imagined.

[WhatWouldntRandyDo]

lol it seems nowadays u give johnny depp ANY character and he'll give you jack sparrow or willy wonka=P  love mr depp tho nonetheless...

[kakashi010203]

i ahve all the songs on my ipod and my sister is cosplyaying him to a convention XD

[Natgunner]

after I saw this I never want to eat a meat pie again

[MetaPunkXP]

BETTER THAN SEX!!!!

And yes, I have had sex.

[TheMusicEclipse]

I loved this movie, kicks HSM ASS!!!!

[alexia513]

Tim B is one of my favorite directors so i dug the hell out of this movie. Full Price

Altough a few of the musical numbers were a bit long for me (i've never been muc of a musical fan) but i have a hard time finding fault with the film.

[urtruluvbabesz]

werd i juss wanted dem to tlk sooooo badly

[Darahcos]

I love Tim Burton films. I find his ability to create dark Gothic atmospheres second to none. His movies generally all appeal to me since they are generally dark, beautiful and fantasy like.

[SuperDisser]

Best part was the end "Edward Scissor hands actually got some hands and said fuck it I cant stop cutting!"

[fallout696]

"One where Sweeney Todd, actually comin back, talkin bout kickin ass..." I lost it at that part!

[9987ifY]

FULL PRICE!

[Richardy4283]

The movie was ok but I would give it a rental.

[MetaPunkXP]

Hey, Planet of the Apes '01 was the definition of a good reimagining.

[crazykenna]

3:30 !! Hilarious, i thought the same thing!

[dmpeter10]

LOL emo musical LOL i hate emo

[TheDrunkenCelt]

As you should

[dmpeter10]

i should what???????? hate emos?

[TheDrunkenCelt]

Yep

[dmpeter10]

lol ok XD but i don t really hate them like...beat them up and stuff i just dont like talking to emo

[TheDrunkenCelt]

I cant look at em cause it makes me want to start strangling people again
