I saw Sweeney Todd recently. Well, at first, Tim Burton's trademark look easily convinced me... as always. But on second thinking, he does start copying himself... With Johnny Depp looking like he always looks in Tim Burton's films, like a crossover between the guy from Sleepy Hollow and Edward Scissorhands... the love interest being the same blonde pale type in Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow and Sweeney Todd, too... And when he took the razor and said, "My arm is finally complete again" or something along that line, I thought: Och, please, Edward....

The music isn't originally from this film's team as far as I know - well, the musical seems to have been well known before the film, only that here, no one ever heard of it before- otherwise I could have given the film credit for that. Johnny Depp sings very well, Helena Bonham Carter... not quite as good, but still, Alan Rickman not so much, but it works. Also, I am not sure any of his film characters have been killed that brutally since his first major Hollywood character was dropped from the roof of a skyscraper. We'll see wether "Harry Potter 7" will top that, but I doubt it.
