Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (R, 2007)

This movie is amazing. Johnny Depp and Alan Rickman just sell it for me. If your kid can stomach the gory stuff, like me, take them to see it. (It's gory, and a bit disturbing, but great!)

2 words.Bloody.Brillant.I cannot describe this movie more.Go and see it.

this movie was awful. I could not believe johnny depp would even do such a film the only entertaining about it was the actual killing of the customers.I was very dissappointed.

**Info not right, I'm 18. :) Strangely I liked this movie. Maybe it's just because of Johnny Depp. The gore wasn't bad because it was very fake and brightly colored. The themes were creepy, but it wasn't bad.

im not a big musical fan yet i really enjoyed this flick. it is extremely violent and full of blood but it was some how beautiful and romantic in a horrific way, lol. Alan was <3 and Johnny did a good job too. A great film. NOT suitable for kids.

I love this movie. The first time I saw it, I was twelve. It didn't bother me too much, but it is very dark. My mom can't stand to watch it, and she's a grown woman (but she's also one of those people who is grossed out easily). At first, I was interested in it just because of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, but then I was addicted to the music. Eventually, I got my mom to watch it with me. I've loved it and she's hated it ever since. None the less, she lets me watch it. It's one of those movies that you have to compare to what else you kid watches. If he/she watches Saw and is not disturbed in the slightest (I consider you a bad parent if you let your child watch that crap), then this should be a walk in the park. If he/she is squeemish, though, keep it away. *SPOILERS* There is a ton of blood, and the slitting of the throats is very realistic (the victims jerk around and gurgle and blood spurts everywhere). There's even blood in the opening credits- It rains blood, blood seeps out of baking meat pies, human meat is put through a grinder, blood is everywhere. The last throat that Sweeney slits is particularly bloody (as he also stabs the man in the throat), and he's completely coated in his victim's blood. A little boy takes a bite of a meat pie and pulls a human finger (fingernail and all) from his mouth. A man's brain pops out of his skull when he's dropped head first from the floor above (he's already dead), and you hear several necks snap as others are dropped down to the bakehouse in the same way. The little boy discovers bloody human skeletons in a corner of the bakehouse. A heartless judge sentences a little boy to hang. A young man is beat up with a walking stick (more blood there, as he has a bloody nose), and his attacker threatens to kill him. Young women in a madhouse attack their keeper. Sweeney tosses Mrs. Lovett into an oven and we see her flesh begin to burn from her bones. And in the end, the little boy slits Sweeney's throat and he bleeds on the face of his dead wife, who he is cradling in his arms (yes, I cried). The f-word is not in this film. Where CommonSense got that from, I'll never know. O.o None the less, 'piss' is used several times in one song, and 'sh*t' is used twice. In a dream scene, Mr. Lovett and Sweeney kiss (it's a wedding, and the kiss is very, very short). And a woman is raped at a ball. You don't see anything but the onlookers laughing, and you hear her screaming. There's a lot of gin in this movie. And honestly, it's kind of funny in one scene. Over all, not great for kids. But a fantastic movie all the same. The acting is wonderful, the music is spot-on, and Tim Burton gave it a dark feel that really works with the story. Not quite as good as the stage version, and far less humorus and bright-colored, but I think they captured it well.

Enjoyable

This was a good movie. I don't like scary Movies but I really liked this one. Johnny Depp was outstanding <3

I am as obsessed with Johnny Depp, Hellana Bonham Carter, and Tim Burton as you can get, but I have to admit, this is one of Burton's more grahic films. If you're a theater nerd like me, and can handle LOTS of blood (which may I mind looks and is EXTREMELY FAKE!) you should see it!
