"Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" is one of Johnny Depp's best. It has the barber, Sweeney Todd, played by Johnny Depp, cutting hair in London. His haircuts does not only include cutting hair, and shaving, it also includes Todd's evil and vicious plot to brutally murder every victim that sits in his chair. Mrs. Lovett, played by Helena Bonham Carter, is Todd's partner in crime in this hit based on the Broadway musical.
This film is great because they put the musical to the big screen. Johnny Depp is fantastic in his performance. He has done some weird roles and mysterious roles but this is one of his best. Helena Bonham Carter is also a great part of this film. She also has done some weird roles but she is a great actress and has helped some great movies even better. Including "Fight Club" and "The King's Speech." Some great minor roles were apart of this film also. Sacha Baron Cohen was Pirelli, and much like his performance in "Les Miserables" he brought comedic relief to this dark film. Also Alan Rickman was spectacular as Judge Turpin. This film is a great adaptation to the musical and it is mostly because of the genius working of Tim Burton. This film is very dark and edgy and it really shows how good Tim Burton and Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter work together.
Grade = 84/100 = B
