    Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

    Oh Boy! I really did not know how to rate this flick. I expected so much more from it. I found it slow, at times even boring. Some of the songs seemed too long. Maybe because of the writing, maybe because of the directing. I just thought the movie needed to move more forward. At times, it felt like quick sand. But the only reason I can give it as high as a 6 is Johnny Depp's amazing performance. Yet again, he continues to reinvent himself in his characters and show that he truly is one of the best actors out there. I had absolutely no problem with the gore, which I somewhat expected considering the 18 rating on a musical about a murdering barber!!! Tim Burton does do a pretty decent job of creating this universe, this world, as he always does. But his visual success does not make up for the end result which I found too slow. Again, not a bad movie, could have been much better, and it gets a passing mark thanks to Johnny Depp's masterful performance.
