Attend the tale of Sweeny Todd.
He serves a dark and a vengeful god.

What happened then, well that's the play,
and he wouldn't want us to give it away...
Not Sweeney
Not Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet...

I saw it tonight.
I was both impressed and disappointed. The singing was better than expected, and the overall stage presence of Carter and Depp was extremely strong. It's difficult when you have a murderer, a woman who makes corpses into pies, a beggar, a judge that knowingly wrongly convicts people and sentences them to death, etc to find someone to sypathize with, but the whole cast does a great job of really making you feel what they feel.
I was completely disappointed that THEY CUT "ATTEND THE TALE OF SWEENEY TODD". WTFWTFWTF??? That's like when they cut the 3rd verse of "The Phantom of the Opera" in the movie version, except worse. How do you totally cut the title song??
I was also a bit disappointed at how gorey they let it get. A little fake blood for effect is great - a gushing river of katsup is overboard.

I love this movie, but I HATED this too. I was seriously cringing at some points because it was a bit much.

I loved it - but was also a little taken aback at the lack of a song over the animated beginning - so I started singing it myself (softly . . .attend the tale of Sweeney Todd). I just closed my eyes at all the blood . . .I'm a wimp!

Overall, I was happy with the movie. The blood was a bit much, and I actually cringed which is a big deal for me. I also thought Carter's voice was lacking.
AF- I was upset about the missing music as well.
I dragged the Boy to see the play, and he fell asleep in about 10 minutes. I woke up him up, just in time for him to say, "Hey, look its Borat- DID THEY JUST KILL BORAT?? What the hell, you didn't tell me this is a killing musical."
