Sweeney Todd
TheFuriousWombat:
I'm sure Depp will find his way into "Alice". Burton has become fairly predictable and somewhat stagnant in terms of originality but so have a lot of directors. Many films by directors like Scorsese and Wes Anderson have essentially made the same movie several times but they are no less enjoyable or engaging. Using the same actors never seemed like a downside to me and I'm not entirely sure how it could be. Sure the singing in "Todd" wasn't fantastic but that's no surprise and it's silly to walk into this movie expecting Broadway quality vocals. I do agree that the characters were very underdeveloped though. I found it hard to feel anything for any of them. The movie definitely has flaws and is nowhere near perfect (or anywhere near Burton's best work) but I still enjoyed it on the whole.

I felt for Carter's character though, but not really anyone else..
I like the whole fact of using the same actors over and over again. Its like a theater troupe.
SevenPinkerton:
I saw this last night and loved it. In terms of singing voices- I rather liked Depp's. Although it wasn't perfect, it was rather fitting for his character. I couldn't stand Johanna's voice, but that is more of my own personal preference than a comment on talent.
I was never a big fan of Tim Burton and never understood the fanaticism that followed him, but this movie shined some light on the reason. The humor and beauty within the dark and horrible, teamed up with clever and sometimes gorgeous songs- I am in love. The visual effects were perfect. Everything was dark and dingy, while the blood so bright and red...oh I loved it.
Also, I want all of the outfits that Mrs. Lovett wore.
captain zoe:
I really think they should have left in "Kiss Me," because that sets up the whole subplot with Johanna and Anthony, essentially. Instead we got this weird "love at first sight" thing, and when he takes her out of the asylum, I don't even think she knows his name. It just didn't seem practically plausible, or maybe that was just me. I dunno. It would have given Johanna more than one song, though, and I think she had a gorgeous voice. She should have been given more singing time.
yelley:
