Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Sweeney Todd- Blu-Ray Comment: As a fan of Tim Burtons films I had high hopes for 'Sweeney Todd' and from the distinctive opening credits I knew I was on familiar Burton ground and in for a treat. The direction, make-up, costumes and sets are wonderfully atmospheric and give that dark feel to the film straight away. To be honest I found the musical aspect of this film got on my nerves by the end, but the acting and actual story itself was so good that I enjoyed the film immensely anyway. Depp is as great as ever and Sasha Baron Cohen was surprisingly good. This film isn't overly long and although the murders were quite gruesome at times, it didn't feel excessive or gratuitous, they were almost tongue in cheek in some ways. Alan Rickman plays an excellent 'baddie' again and all the supporting cast performed well. This is typical Burton fare (dark humour, distinctive styling and quirky music) and made for some great viewing. Well worth a look and I'd give this 3 1/2 stars.

I think it's a brilliant movie if you are open to see and hear something different from the ordinary. Tim Burton is pure genius and Johnny Depp amazing as ever! However it may be no the best movie for people with a sensible stomach... Customer Rating: Summary: Hmmm.... Comment: Ok, like me you're probably not one to buy many musicals but you digg Burton and Depp. What to do? Well, here's my take... in simple terms; It looks great. The songs vary from dull to quite amusing. Not that catchy or classic but the odd one is amusing. The story line is OK, fairly basic. The actors perform well and the leads are charismatic. Conclusion? Meh... you know, it's OK. That about sums it up. There are better and worse places to spend your money! Sorry to be tepid about the whole affair but that's how I feel. If you must, buy it but you won't be missing much if you don't! Not a stunning blu-ray either.

Comment: I failed to see anything good about this film. The music was aweful, the scenes of violence repetative and the story pointless. Absolute garbage. More Reviews
