Sweeney Todd

[Obscurus Lupa]

I saw the movie. It's definitely one of Burton's more mature films. Depressing as hell, especially since I saw it around Christmas.

I figured since it was a musical it would have more humor, and I like Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, so I figured I'd love it, but, uh...Not the case. Too depressing, overly stylized (I like exeggarated stylization but the blood was ridiculous), and well, I'm one of those suckers who like happy endings. I knew the thing couldn't end well going into it, but if I movie is good enough I can get past the bad ending.

The songs started blending together for me. There were some highlights for me, but mostly not.
