Sweeny Todd
Ah so yes Sweeny Todd. I was invited to a pre premier day of Sweeney Todd at the grove and i had to say that i was gona watch the movie anyway. i say this bc those of you who know me and read my reviews know that im not a very big Johnny or Burton or Elfman or a fan of i guess any actor or person who had anything to do with this movie.
why? idk why i just dont like their work. but i was gona see this regardless bc i saw trailers and thought the cinematography was great as well as the visual effects, and you know what? They were.
The story is nothing new, its about a man who has a hot wife and another man (one in power) wants her so he gets rid of the husband. 15 years Later Todd returns for vengeance!!
Im not fond of musicals either but this movie was very entertaining running about 2 hours. it was clever and well paced but if you pay close attention to the subtle things (i will not say no more than that) the movie becomes extremely predictable. The imagery and irony in this movie are well taken and really my only 2 complaints are that the songs often ran too long and that the editing wasnt the sharpest (continuity errors). but the music was great and the acting was better, not necessarily the singing from some characters, but the acting was great. shots were great and the visuals were even better.
id say to definitely watch this in theatres its BIG FISH meets KILL BILL. Its a wonderland of blood really. Graphic kills and singing make interesting.
so yes see this
