Title: Did I miss something?
Review: What's the appeal behind Sweeny Todd?I can sympathize with a wronged husband taking revenge on the guy who roofied and ravished his wife. I can appreciate a movie about a slasher on the loose.But I can't help but hate a man who cuts up innocent people and then lets his landlady butcher their remains so she can sell their flesh for food.I have to wonder about the people who thought this movie was such a beautiful experience. I knew it would be weird, after all, it's a Tim Burton affair, but man ....Not that I'm down on Burton. I think he and Depp are a true powerhouse couple. Alan Rickman rules anything he's in. (Harry Potter films wouldn't be the right without him.)The bright light came from Sacha Baron Cohen, the phony Italian rival of Sweeny Todd. It harkens back to the essence of Borat, just enough.
Is the review positive or negative?
