Summary: Good except for B movie syle and unncessary sound effects
Comment: Ray Winstone is quite convincing in this depiction of Sweeney Todd. The addition of a love story actually compliments the murder aspect. I only gave it 3 stars because of the ridiculous and childish sound effects that both annoy and irritate; there is just no need for them. The editing needed a little more effort as well, for instance as the first murder victim is being shaved, the shaving soap keeps on re-appearing - so no suspension of disbelief there!
It is still worth watching despite the unsophisticated sound track and the poor editing.

Summary: Dark and enthralling
Comment: Another telling of the famous story. Ray Winstone plays Sweeney Todd, a man rebuilding his life after serving a lengthly prison sentence for a crime carried out by his father (his younger brother was hanged for the same).

Now the owner of a respectable barbers, his inner demons are put to test when a Newgate Prison Gaoler comes in for a shave boasting how he mistreats children in the prison, and thus becomes Sweeney Todd's first victim. Worse follows, a short time later his father reappears demanding money on a regular basis. At this point it is easy to see Todd as a victim, as he saves the life of a local constable, gives money to the prison children and buys a pie shop for a girl he befriends.

However her regular flow of lovers soon regret their actions as they enter Todd's shop for a shave and finish up as pie fillers. His customers now disappear with alarming regularity and the Bow Street Runners are investigating.

As with all great films, time seems to fly past. Ray Winstone gives one of his greatest performances in this graphic adaptation.

Summary: absolutly fantastic
Comment: Ray Winston played and portraid Sweeney Tod's charactor so well, i actually sympathysed with the charactor he portrayed, and what made him the monster he became, prob all down to the good acting of Ray Winston.
the settings, the actors, all put together so well, i would highly recommend this film to anyone but the faint hearted, but even the gore was done quite tactfully, not too much, concentrating more on the events and emotions of the charactors. obviously a lot of work went into the background of the story. highly recommended.

Comment: Was pleasantly surprised by this film and enjoyed it all the more as it is based on history. Would have awarded it 5 stars but acting could have been better. Still very worthy of watching
