I lost faith in Tim Burton a long time ago. And Johnny Depp is overated

I've wanted to see if Burton could pull off a musical. I'm a big fan of "Sweeney Todd", so I've been looking forward to this.

ETA To remove snarky comment because Boston is still trailing by one, and that's put me on edge.

I know I'll see it. I'm just not sure who asked for it in the first place tho...

Who cares? No one asks for a lot of movies. I know we didn't need or want a 3:10 to Yuma remake, and that was friggin awesome.

I just watched the play on youtube last night, and it was VERY good. Alittle tacky, but those were the times. Anyways I look at this movie and I see that because it's "Johhny Depp" as sweeney a certain bit of sadness fills the role, where as in the play everyone knows sweeneys a bad bad man. Why the difference in roal change? From ruthless murderer, to Cutesy boy that wants revenge? Totally confised on that one.

I'm usually a go for both... but this one I just don't know... the scene where he was walking about in the crowd didn't do it for me. And as for musicals wasn't Willy Wonka kind of one?

Yeah, but Sweeny Todd is being based off the musical rather than the real life events.
It's like the new Hairspray and Producers movies where they are adaptions of the broadway musicals rather than the original movies.

Gotcha, I'm still on the fence about this one though.
