Check your local *ahem* stores, it's already out

didnt know there was a new tim burton film. depp and bonham again.. heh. I think his true masterpiece is Big Fish.

what... it isnt even out anywhere yet.

hahahaha...right you are...its a new movie and it premieres this Christmas.So,it would be odd to actually have the ahem version of it now.

Are you sure it ain't the BBC drama version? My friend bought that.

Kay..Kay...i get it...
Actually,this sweeney todd has a lot of version.Last time,there was a movie about this too but it was a long time ago.Also,they made a drama out of this story as well.But,this sweeney todd is the new movie ,not the drama and not the old version movie.
I can say this movie is gonna be something like phantom of the opera because its part musical and part story.I cant wait to watch and see Depp singing

A big fan of Burton and Depp's work... definately on my must watch list.

BIG fan of Depp, looks like we'll be treated to another one of his eccentric performances. Halena Bonham Carter also acted in Fight Club right? She's great for this kind of roles.

I think the trailer's crap. Alan Rickman is Alan Rickman la but Depp singing is just shit from the two lines : I will have vengeance, I will have....." All the promise the movie has hyped has gone down the drain for me.

Depp + Burton = FTW + Must watch

I'm preparing to be blown way why Johnny Depp starts singing and dancing...must be an original and awesome scenes! He's the talent!

i would love to watch this movie.But the only drwabacks is thst it is a musical.

Rest assured a 'Depp Musical' will not be 'just another musical'.

For me it's not so much about Depp + Burton combo. It's about Depp alongside Helena Bonham Carter.

SWEENEY IS DAM NICE

Is this movie really worth to watch? plan to watch it this weekend.

Going to watch tomorrow midnight...

A lot of ppl walking out from cinema during the show. Totally is a musical movie. If u dun like it, better dont waste ur money.

Storyline....sucks.

At the end....

should i go n watch this movie or just *ahem* it??

i watch it in the cinema. i slept off halfway!
my gf was watching it tru out. maybe she has the interest.
the only gory part is when depp does the first slit. after that the other throat slits all become so boring.


and plus the damn singing!!! argh should have went with my instincts n watchd cloverfield

its a musical dudes, sad tho i want to watch but the timings are meh

Strange crowd we have here in LYN... cam too shaky they complain, too much singing they complain.
Doesn't anybody find out what the movie is all about before they watch a movie?

its the season where everyone moans about shaky cam.

Best musicals movie that I had even watched since Hairspray.

hairspray?? disgusting. hate the ending=.= the fat girl kissed zac efron. WTF

What you have grudge against fat people?

since hatekiasuppl appeared

initially i am a bit reluctant to watch it due to it's a musical, but as soon as i finish viewing the trailer, i am sold for it! Sweeney, here i come, i am looking forward to another burton/depp colloboration.

how many times they have been together? i can think of...
edward scissorhands
-sleepy hollow
-ed wood
-charlie and the chocolate factory
anything else, folks?

i am watching it tomorrow.
i read it from the newspaper that this is their 6th collaboration. so you miss one out. that bride thingy... grave bride or something. stop motion wan

never thought that this movie is a half musical movie...but so far,i felt the story line is ok........but maybe abit "bloody"!!

watched it, it's very bloody ; has a very Tim-feel to it, lovely~

I was kinda expecting the whole ending to be his family's demise caused by his ruthlessness in wanting revenge... but it didnt

Lovely singing I must say, I particularly love the friend song ; the judge has a terrible singing tone if I dont say so myself

7/10, -1 for censorship

really loved tis movie cuz its da 1st time i watched a murderous musical extravagant!!

JD is so so talented...my fav actor of all time!!

Joanna il steal you Joanna~~

Mrs. Lovett's musical pieces were fun and witty
only movie where u can see Professor Snape singing lolz

Watched it, I recommend for anyone who like musical, I enjoyed the singings and the dark lyrics behind. It's strange that I am glad most of the throat slitting parts got censored, as much as I can take in violence, throat slitting kinda creeps me out.

Just watched the movie few days back. Love it!

i think you missed Corpse Bride...

watched it today... damn those filem negara people!
this movie is brilliant. i didn't know johnny depp can sing! lolx

cool lyrics ..
nice singing
stupid storyline
great acting

Watched it today in GSC Timesquare,

The movie was great too bad some censor scenes,

I can enjoy the movie with my gf for the moment, until there are 2 stupid malay ladies talk nonstop for the whole damn fuking 2 hours movie, comment about the blood, screamed when Todd killed the judge and said "mumpus lar!" or "ei~~ ah~~~!" loudly in the cinema...

Please if you are watching in cinema please shut the fuk up and leave your stupid comments after the movie! The cinema is not yours! faggs!

Me and my gf asked them so keep quiet, but they screwed the whole mood by over lapping their laughter during the Shaving battle scene.

Oh well.. just to release my anger here... thanks for reading my post...

Advice for someone who are going to watch this movie, please do not disturb other people, and keep you comments down low or after the movie...

i understand how you feel. i hate it too, and some people like to be director and critic when watching shows. however i would that you edit your post to something light.

want to watch!!!

oK...it was musical, perhaps too musical at 1am in the morning (hehe..the only time I got watch movies on my plasma tv)...but it was good...I didn't know musicals can be that good
Lucky, ending was also good..

I didn't like the ending.
But overall I enjoy it and like the song.
Great performance by Helena.
Depp's voice sound a bit modern to be singing those songs, but his vocal is superb.
I think he's better than most of the singer out there.

watched it yesterday. good movie, not that great though. definitely overrated. the songs are really boring and generic.

yes i know those ppl! they're so freaking annoying! in fact i watched a movie with one of those ppl (he was in my gang although i dun like him and stopped talking to him hahahaha) and it pissed the hell out of me! oops i'm releasing my anger too hahaha

i wanna watch this movie!! am so dying to. luckily i havent read any spoilers yet heheehe

erm...this filem not bad la..
actually im going to watch cloverfield on 2day...
but ends up by watching sweeney todd....
erm....not bad....jd make me fall in love with him man...^^
n.....the ending not bad mah...so yeng n yet romantic....(althought is abit bloody)

After watching the show, I ate a meat pie...it was delicious

normally musical movie is all about love, love and love
but this one add in abit killer and some revenge....fresh idea

There's one time where I shouted at those gals, "F*ck it, can you just shut the hell up!!!"
Lucky, my gf was there or else, they'll taste my cola and popcorns.

Ah, the movie was King Kong. 3 hours, those 2 gals sitting there quietly. Ops, suppose to be whole cinema... (Come on, just the sake of everyone also...)

just watch the movie last night...i like the tim burton's style of movie. one look, you can tell there is similarities between Edward Scissorhands, batman and beetlejuice. and at one time there is even a spoof for beetlejuice "starring" johnny depp in beetlejuice's costume!

but the singing was too much..i mean, i know johnny depp will sing in the movie but that singing was too much. i just can't take it.

and movie ends with cliffhanger..
1. what happened to joanna?
2. what happened to anthony?
3. what about toby? will he be take over sweeney's place?

after seeing this movie..
i dun dare to find barber in london...
or mayb malaysia too..^^

haha, nowadays i don't think there is barber using those knife to shave. unless you go to those old indian barber shop

Indian barber still got!

this movie reminds me of Anthony Wong Chau Sang's "Human's meat char siew pau" , this one is human meat pie

i queue at midvalley today to watch this movie, but when my turn to buy ticket. I changed my mind. I go back home cause i think musical movie is not my taste.

this one is not those musical movie you tot (i love u, u love me kind of type)

heard that it's musical...so i watched Rambo instead of sweeney todd yesterday.

wen i saw the first trailer and it showed tim burton's name...already know that this movie will be a great movie

Just watched yesterday. Quite a good new combo IMO. Musical + Thriller-ish movie. Never would have thought of the combination

just din cut it for me, all that singing, i bet the movie will be 10x better minus the singing, very generic and repetitive, made me feel as if i'm watchin a hindi flick

Joanna and anthony characters are not so important for the movie ending...lets just say they lived happily ever after...as for Toby..his character was built for that one moment...to slit Mr.Ts throat. What happened to him is anyones guess..I would love to see Toby takes Mr.T place, but I dun think so by a long mile...

i thought the movie was great, and anyone who saw the trailer would know there'd be singing..
it was like a musical horror comedy! loved it! lotsa blood too..
tim burton hasnt let me down yet!
must go get the OST...

I agree. They repeat each song like 3x throughout.

And the storyline is quite...pointless. The whole meat pie thing is sick.

Yeah, using human's meat for the pie.

Another instance of some Malaysians need to learn cinema etiquette.
now i don't know what some of them expected when they bought tickets to watch this (maybe Rambo was full kot)... but sighing and making noise while others are trying to enjoy the show shows that some Malaysians lack class and proper behavior (seat kicking and noisy handphones). Now i'll admit that the constant singing might not be everyone's cup of tea... and you are entitled to your rants, but do it after the show lah...
ruined it for me...

EXACTLY!!!!!

my friend did the same thing, commenting on how stupid the movie is on my right ear, moving his butt left and right and it was god damn distracting.

what do people expect from this movie? it's a musical for pete's sake.

It's a nice movie with a nice storyline but the ending was quite disappointing~~~~

ahh... so typical malaysian. thats y i seldom go cinema to watch movie. no matter how enjoyable movie it is, in the end is the audiences make the enviroment worse. especially those lala boys/girls didnt silent their phone with its massive ultra lala disco ringtone. aihhh...

that is malaysia. that is also why leads me to look for director uncut version from *ahem*

Try to use spoiler for that. And btw, thanks for telling the ending way out loud.

Oopps..sorry for the spoiler...I forgotten dy...I'll edit it now~~

Great storyline I would say. Dont know about others that rant about this film or saying this movie is childish with losta songs (true story) ,yes, for god sake it is musical film, dont know what is in their mind ....

the movie was cool, tho there are some flaws. IMO the ending was kinda fast, like suddenly everything comes into place. and well the characters are pretty one dimensional. then again i dont think its possible to make a movie with believable people with singing.

on the goood side, the lyrics are witty as hell. and well there are a number of great scenes.

8/10

I thought the original broadway play.. the boy Tobias was supposed to have gone cuckoo-mad and that's why he killed Todd. Gotta love the song "A Little Priest" where they were singing all the various type of 'meat pies' she would sell.. like poet, priest, vicar, squire, lawyer.. lol.. i think the broadway one had more 'occupation'.. quite shortened.

Agreed with the above poster the lyric and singing was really good.

Oh the scene of Tobias spitting out something at the end while he was chewing the pie.. PRICELESS.. lol. I'll never feel the same way again eating paos...

Depp's acting was great as usual, he completely blended into that role of Todd perfectly it's scary. Alan Rickman on the other hand, talks like Snape... gawd I can't get that out of my mind.. lol

for those who dun wan any singing in these movie plz make clear tat
THESE IS A MUSICAL MOVIE....FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!!!!!

Watched it yesterday. Loved it to bits.

Once i heard its a Burton/Depp collabo, there's no need to know other things. The team up of Burton/Depp added with Bonham-Carter, i wouldnt miss this for anything!

But i really got a shock at the first throat slit, i didnt know it was going to be gory. I frozed in my seat with my mouth wide open,

Johnny Depp could really sing. There's also a reason for songs to be repeated throughout the show, the songs are tied to the feeling that it represents. Like the London song, when he thinks about how he hates London, and the shaving song, when he plans to kill someone. I especially likes it when the songs are melded into a medley to express a mixture of feelings, like when Todd sings the shaving/killing song mixed together with the girls song sung by the judge.

Depp just works as Todd. Just imagine he's your barber and he shaving you with a sharp gleaming razor, just watching like a predator. Your life is , literally, in his hands.

Watch it with an open mind, and you will see that this is a movie unlike no other.

I must say... god damn bloody movie. (and thats a compliment). Wonder how many bottles of ketchup they wasted.

the movie reminds me of harry potter thanks to the the-one-with-the-distinct-VOICE that acts in both movies.

excellent movie, love the storyline
not a big fan of the music though
but excellent nonetheless

a typical intro for burton's movie...lol
good movie i shall say...and i can imagine how it feels to be when watching it in broadway...

i think the movie was done well and if u didn't expect a musical then you must be a NOOB. cause most of Tim burtons movies are musicals except a select few (sleepy hollow).

the movie was done well untill the Malaysian Nothing-To-do_judgier-von-holier-than-thou. cutted the best parts of the movie.
the americans in the cinema cursed and went to the counter asking for their money back

Watched today. Reminded me of "The Sound of Music" with those singing. A good show ...

Wah lau.. i nv expect this kind of show. Freaking bloody raw. I like it!!

The downside is there is a bunch of retarded ingat sendiri macho sangat was laughing very loud whenever there is a singing. They thought it was so sissy and making fun and teasing the movie. But when the first killing of Pirelli was done, they become a little quite. Until the part where they show the kitchen and full of human body etc, the retarded group completely glued to the chair and was extremely quite like a little boy

Added on February 5, 2008, 3:49 pmbtw, anyone know where can i get the OST?

This post has been edited by cyew86: Feb 5 2008, 03:49 PM

wee...i already got the OST~~d movie played in my head at the time the songs played..

where u got the OST? i couldnt find in any shops

ahahaa
i demand you to tell me where u got the OST as well.
was at midvalley's rock corners but couldn't find it

Thats helena bonham carter, aka Mrs. Tim Burton, or soon to be.

She's very pretty... but ___

i *ahem*ed it..lol

is dat true?didnt know that..

Helena Bonham Carter is engaged to Tim Burton, and they have a kid together
If you guys notice, she acted in a lot of Tim Burton's movies before, e.g. Corpse Bride, Planet of the Apes
She looks scary in the movie, but certainly not airport la

I need the original OST

I thought the movie was only alright la. The singings were good but when they overdid it on certain parts it kinda got boring. Nice twist in the end too.

Yeah agreed with you

It's okay 'lar' the movie.... =) but when i watched it on the first day of release i think, halfway thru the movie, many people left! I guess it's more of a musical/deeper type of movie.... so not many people appreciate such movies haha .... =.= so anyway yeah... =)

those people never check before watching a movie?
like my frens, who sed they were going to watch, but din know that it was a musical

This is for you who loved the movie... somebody uploaded the original musical on Youtube :


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsPvNdfS97I&feature=related

Enjoy!

Watched it today... it's so straight forward that I knew what was going to happen from beginning till the end. What I was hoping for is that the musical would be good... turns out it falls flat for me. One of the reasons would be... it's not compose by Danny Elfman.

What I don't understand is... the movie could have been better but the lyrics just doesn't stood up well. After watching this movie, I realize so many censorship in this movie... I mean, the censor of slitting throats turns me off the most. Rambo hardly any censor at all and the violence over there is even worse than Sweeny.

Still, this is not Tim Burton I know... maybe I'm used to his old ways... but then, changing one part of it fails a movie not of style but of how a director show his vision to the audience... just like what Michael Bay did for Pearl Harbor...

Kind of a disappointment for me cos I read about the real Sweeney Todd years prior to this movie and its a must-watch for me when I saw the poster. Storyline's absolute bollocks but again its Johnny Depp's acting that really got me watching. Tim Burton shouldnt have changed the real Sweeney Todd's profile. Its kinda lame that a serial killer from history suddenly becomes someone obsessed with seeing his wife and daughter. Ending is so damn loose that they never tell what happened to Joanna after that. But the songs are good =) . This, is the real Sweeney Todd:
