Sweeney Todd?

Anyone see Sweeney Todd? I love Tim Burton but I really HATED this movie. It's pretty original having a twisted musical but I thought there was way too much musical and the throat slitting stuff got really old after awhile. On a side note, I loved Sasha's performance (hard not to see him as Borat, though).

I loved it. Amazing movie, amazing music.

And it was a musical long before he made it a movie.

My only complaint was the idiots sitting around me in the theater saying "Dude, it's Borat!" every time Sasha was on screen.

Yeah, I went into it knowing it was a musical, but I guess I was hoping it would be adapted more for the screen.

I almost thought it was too adapted for the screen, as 90% of the cast was clearly cast for their acting ability rather than singing ability.

thats what i was expecting. It definatly didn't work for the big screen. As a musical, yeh sure! It had some moments which were pretty cool, but, i recall walking out and saying "that was pretty fucking shit" and hearing people agree and say the same thing lol
