Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2008, DVD)

Superb movie. Daughter loves it and watches it over and over. Well worth seeing. It is great to see Johnny Depp in this type of a movie. It shows just how versitile an actor he is. The scenes are well scripted. It keeps you interested throughout the whole movie.

I love the plot of Sweeney Todd! My favorite actor is Johnny Depp and Tim Burton is my favorite director. The DVD is in excellent condition and it was shipped very quickly. Definitely a reccomended seller! 5 stars!!!!!

The DVD arrived in perfect condition in only a few days. I couldn't be more pleased. This was a gift so it was important to me that the DVD did not appear to be banged up or otherwise in poor condition. This DVD looked like it just came off the rack at the store, so I was very happy and the recipient of the gift was happy as well. Thanks much.

i decided to buy this dvd because i adore johnny depp and have been collecting his movies for about 6 months now. he is a fine actor and can act perfectly in any character he plays! i purchased it from this seller because the price was right and so was the shipping. there is nothing i dislike about it.

Purchased this movie for my sons birthday. He loved the storyline behind this musical. I am not a fan of musicals so it was a little strange to me.. but my son loves it! and he is 17 yrs old.. Dont think its for the little kiddies...

The seller provided very quick shipment and the package came in excellent condition. The DVD, however, had a small scratch which caused the movie to skip in a few places. Although it was listed as "used," I expected a better condition considering the movie has only been out for a short time.

fantastic!

good seller fast service

This is a good movie. This is a very powerful movie with great music and geat acting. I could watch this movie over and over again. This movie is not for little kids because of the violence.

Johnny Depp is fantasitc. Who would have thought he had such a "broadway" type voice. He was mezmorizing!

I loved everything about this movie, if you like musicals and Johnny Depp this is the movie for you. I decided to buy this movie after watching the movie clips on the internet and really really enjoyed it........

It was received quick and in excellent condition. The shipping charges were very reasonable. Best price after searching for a couple of weeks.

this movie is not for the faint of heart,,,,there is more blood in this movie than a dracula one..but is entertaining,,,Johnny Depp is great, his voice isn't bad either...But remember this is a musical,,not a lot of location shots...but it is worth the money...

Like many DVD buyers, I saw the movie in the theater first. Watching the film on Christmas Eve with my wife, I was immediately intrigued by the combination of gorgeous, downbeat tunes, vintage color cinematography and the acting talents of Johnny Depp, Helen Bonham Carter, and Alan Rickman. I knew at once that I would buy the DVD when it came out and watch it more than once. I did and I have.

Now I'm told that this was not as good as the Broadway production but I don't care. I love the slight imperfections of Depp and Carter, as they add character to their songs. The actor's playing the young man and Joanna are both perfectly cast and add strength to the ensemble and as for singing, they certainly have polish. If you haven't heard the music from this movie/musical/almost opera, you'll be pleasantly surprised IF you enjoy music in minor keys with a decidedly sad edge (sometimes harshly misanthropic!), you'll enjoy this. Pieces like "Joanna" and "Pretty Women" are both ironic and toe-tappingly good. Each piece is both beautiful and tragic, as the personality of the vengefully obsesses Sweeney Todd haunts each song with the tragic twistedness of his plots to kill the man who wronged him, and many others beside. "We All Deserve to DIe" he sings, the bad because their bad, the good because they're better off dead rather than dealing with the evil in the world.

As for the cinematography, that for me is the most fascinating. It is definitely a Tim Burton film. This shows in the coloring of everything as if there were the famous London coal-smoke in the air, lending everything a muted coloring. Helen Bonham Carter, as Mrs. Lovett, is gorgeous but haunts the mind with the dark circles around her eyes. She reminds me of a living version of the fractured and living doll who is the Jack Skellington love interest in "Nightmare Before Christmas."

I should warn you about something you've probably already been warned. There is lots of brief but horrific scenes of throats being cut by the Demon Barber. I'm not a fan of gory movies by any means. However, these were an integral part of the story, and done with the haunting music to accompany them, I was strangely fascinated.

Finally, as much as I loved this film, let me tell you my wife's reaction that fateful Christmas Eve. "That was the strangest movie I've ever seen!" She liked it, but would not watch it again. As for me, I'll be watching it over and over. Plus, I purchased the soundtrack CD, and both my daughter and I have been listening to the music in our iPods.

This is another GREAT collabaration between Johnny Depp and Tim Burton (and Helena Bonham-Carter)!

You can tell our man Johnny really got into the part. (as usual) I had read that he stayed in character even when off the set and would walk around his big house in France singing and slashing at objects with a fake razor. I can see that...

The music is LOUD. I found myself constantly adjusting the volume on the remote. The music was overwhelming and at times I couldn't hear the dialogue.

It's bloody, to be sure. I like horror movies very much and am not particularly squeamish, but I had to look away or hide my eyes in my hands a few times. Shockingly graphic !

Johnny is a pretty good singer. Not a lot of range, but who cares?...

I highly recommend this film for ALL Johnny Depp fans and anybody over the age of 12 (on account of all the fake blood).

Pop a frozen beef pot pie in the oven a half hour before you sit down to watch this movie, so when Mrs. Lovett is singing about her homemade meat pies, you can experience that wholesome goodness !! Bon Appetite !

Again the conbination of Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, & Helena Bonham Carter is a winning combination (The Corpse Bride); Alan Rickman is a plus for the film; solid performances from the entire cast; however; this movie is not for the squemish; the blood & gore flows; reminiscent of the Saturday Night "hack & slash" movies we used to watch at the "Drive-in" Theatre.....

Would recommend people to watch it. If you like musicals should watch it. If not dont. Perfect actors and actresses for the movie.... Only bad part is 1 guy, sings really gross..

Acting and singing was great love the movie. Tim Burton did a great job making another dark movie. I will watch it over and over again.

Anything that Tim Burton and Johnny Depp do together turns to gold! This is the darkest musical I have ever seen. It has great twists and turns throughout the movie all the way to the end. Johnny Depp was perfect for this role even though he had never sang before, his voice was great in this movie.

I saw it at a theater and decided I wanted to own it. I was surprised as how much I liked it since I don't like "musicals" too much. Johnnie Depp is one of my favorite actors as was impressed at his ability to sing.

The story line to Sweeney Todd was good, would have been a lot better if it werent a musical! Couldnt even watch it through to the end. Not one of Burtons best!

Being a Johnny Depp fan and knowing previous films by Tim Burton, I "forced" myself to see this one. It was terrific, but not for the faint of heart. It took me watching it at home in addition to the theater to finally understand the rapid lyrics. The lyrics are clever, but go so fast they are a bit difficult to hear clearly.

NOW, the blood.........That is a whole subject in itself. Anyone who feels squeamish at the sight of blood may want to avoid this movie.

Saw it in theaters the weekend it came out. Wasn't expecting much but was VERY surprised!! Depp is phenomenal. The movie is pretty gory, but in such a surreal way.

I bought this movie sweeny todd. it was new and a very good movie. i would recremend this musical movie to any one who likes musicals.

I love Johnny Depp, but this movie was sort of a disappointment for me. I guess part of the reason that I didn't like it was because it was a musical. During some of the singing scenes, I thought the movie seemed to drag on to the point where I pushed the fast-forward button. My husband did not like it either (and he is a Depp fan also). The idea of people eating flesh from other people who were murdered is beyond gruesome and I do not think such things are good for people to watch in movies. The story line was unique, though, and it had some really shocking scenes with interesting visuals and scenery. Johnny Depp's singing voice was surprisingly nice, however, I would not want to watch the movie again.
