Tim Burton & Johnny Depp Team For 'Sweeney Todd'

[Darth Elektra]

I think it opens in more theaters this weekend.

Ok, I hope so.

It opened in about 1200 theaters. That was definitely less than the other films released:

Yeah, My friend's theater didn't get it so while up at my place we went and watched it agian.

Weird, maybe this is why some of my friends thought it came out on Christmas.

Yup, samething. Even one thought it didn't open till Jan.

I saw this movie today, it was AWESOME. One of the best of 2007 .

I gave it a 10

I finally saw this last night. One of the best films I've seen this year.

I saw it at a theater in NYC last night, which was mobbed...and it seemed like a lot of the audience was unfamiliar with the story...so the audience reactions were great. When Sweeney asked the judge if he'd like a shave, people started cheering. t:

Saw it Christmas night, beautiful stuff. Best thing Burton has done IMO.

100/10.
I'm so buying the soundtrack.

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

I can imagine some people will call themselfs "Sweeney Todd" or "Todd Sweeney" after watching this movie.

I'm thinking about buying the soundtrack tommorow. I have a long car ride to N.Y. this weekend it would be fun to listen to.

 

[Fran]

Loved the movie so much second time around

 

[hammerhedd11]

Great adaption of the play. Carter and Depp were great singers. I was surprised it was so gory. 9/10

 

[Nirvana]

Seriously this was probably the best movie I saw in 2007. Truly a masterpiece. I really do hope this film gets pushed for award season. I already saw it twice, and I just had to go out and buy the cd. Truly amazing. Especially "Not While I'm Around".

Tim Burton is a genius, and all his other movies are totally badass. I have to say though, when I saw this movie there were tons of emo kids and old people there

Who gave this movie a 3?

How did I manage to not vote yet...didn't even notice a poll despite it being right on the top of every page whenever I click the thread

For the past week, "Epiphany" has been playing constantly on my iPod.

 

[Mr. Socko]

I'm listening to the soundtrack now, I'm on No Place like London. Got like 12 songs before I get to Epiphany and I won't skip.

 

[french joker]

alright, who wants to PM me the soundtrack ?t:

 

[danoyse]

alright, who wants to PM me the soundtrack ?t:

Buy your own.

I'm listening to Wait right now. I'm not skipping songs either, although yesterday I listened to it from Epiphany on twice.

 

[Untilteld]

alright, who wants to PM me the soundtrack ?t:

youtube it, it's all on there.

 

[Joker]

finally, after the Zune Marketplace not letting me connect all day, it finally let me on, and I am now the proud owner of the Sweeny Todd soundtrack

 

[Master Chief]

I liked it, was an awesome experience but as a movie meh.

 

[JP]

And I will get him back even as he gloats
In the mean while I'll practice on dishonorable throats!

And my Luuuuuuuucy lies in ashessssss
And I'll neeeeever see my girl again!
But the work waits!
I'm alive at last!
And I'm full of jooooooooooooooooy!!!

I listened to the old Original Broadway Cast recording recently (which I recommend to everyone as it is twice as long with many cut songs, most of which are great, but did not fit into the style of movie Burton was making or the process of cinematic storytelling, and while I love Depp/Carter, Cariou/Lansbury have MUCH better singing voices)...but it made me go see this again recently and now I have listened to the movie soundtrack again.

This is a movie that stays with you and in the last week + I still talk about it to people who haven't yet seen it. It simply was amazing and probably the best movie of the year.

I know, they took out my favorite line: "That everybody goes down well with beer!"

Wow. Depp has a much better singing voice than the original Sweeney. Just because he's the original doesn't mean he's better.
