"Genius. Pure Genius."
When I went to see Sweeney Todd this weekend, I went in with extremely high expectations, which usually spells disaster for my movie-going experience. However I have never seen a movie go above and beyond my high expectations so spectacularly as did Sweeney Todd. With Tim Burton in the driver's seat, I knew the concept of this very dark musical held promise, but the addition of Johnny Depp as the homocidal hero and Helena Bonham Carter as the disturbingly sexy cohort sealed the deal in blood. There could never be a better duo for spilling copious amounts of fake blood than the stars of this film. It was beautiful, disgusting, sad, funny, warm, cold, triumphant and tragic. In a word, it was great. I can't wait to see it again.
