Sweeny Todd (movie)

I wanted to see this movie since I like "From Hell" and "Sleepy Hollow" but Sweeney Todd is nothing like it. Yes we see some of the darkness that Tim Burton likes but there the similarities stops.

This is in fact something as silly as a splatter musical. I wonder if Tim Burton has been looking at splatter movies at kid and been thinking "lets turn all that gore into a musical" A pretty sick thought might I say. But also genius enough to earn him an Oscar.

It is so that I actually had a few laugh in the movie when things just became too ridiculous and thats what I feel is the verdict of this movie. A bit too far...
