There was a barber and his wife

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Starring: Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall, Jamie Campbell Bower, Jayne Wisener, & Sacha Baron Cohen
Genre: Musical
Director: Tim Burton

Script: It's based on a myth, so there's really nothing much to tell here. Still, the way the movie intertwines the different characters together while incooperating the songs gives the script some respect.
3.5 / 5 stars

Acting: The casts are no stranger to anyone. You have the magnificento Depp, Bonham Carter, Professor Snape, and even Borat. But you will still be in for a surprise when you see them sing.
4.5 / 5 stars

FX: There isn't really much need for special effects here, just what little is required to achieve that past century look of London.
3 / 5 stars

Tilt: When is the last time you have seen a musical about a serial killer?
4 / 5 stars

Overall:
4 / 5 stars

The Good: Here I have to mention the casts again. Depp proves his flexibility of acting at another uniquely different role yet again. And who would've expected we'll ever see Professor Snape sing?

The Bad: The songs in the movie all share the same music, it's just the lyrics that change. But that's not exactly a really bad thing because they (the lyrics) are all very innovative and guaranteed to tick that sense of humour in you.

The Ugly: Well, like most musical, there is not really much space to expand on the story. It is a pretty straight forward story, in which case if this is not a musical the movie probably will only be an hour long.

Censorship*: Nothing excessive that can derail the movie. Mostly only the exact moments when Todd slits the throats of his victims. Imagine the before and after scenes of - Razor at neck - Victim bleeding compulsively from slitted throat.
