Plus, you have Snape, Wormtail, Edward Scissorhands, and Borat all in one movie. How can you beat that?
Although if you get antsy over the sight of someone's jugular being slit, I suggest not to see this movie.

You forgot Bellatrix.
Anyhow. I'm a huge fan of the musical and I thought it was very well done. The only complaint I have (and it's a nitpicky one), is that one of my favorite songs was butchered. And boy, that last shot before the credits will stay with you for a while.

Oh that's right! I forgot Helena Bonham Carter played Bellatrix. XD
Which song was that?
And yeah, that last scene had me staring at the screen speechless until the credits started rolling.
Not that she'd probably be thrilled about knowing her father was a crazed murderer...

"God, That's Good!"
It's the one sung by Toby/Mrs. Lovett as the customers are eating pies.

My only complaints were Joanna's voice and that Alan Rickman didn't change his character from Snape very much.
"Mr. Todd."
"Mr. Potter."
They sound exactly the same. X_X
Other than that, fantastic movie.

The girls behind me, however, were obvious Pirates fangirls who had NO idea what the hell they came to see. Their assorted noises of terror and disgust, as well as their blanched-white faces after the movie was over, made me laugh really, really hard inside.

@Pearly: I thought the pie shop song was pretty good, considering that they didn't really have a singing chorus. Mrs. Lovett's and Toby's parts were great. Although I do admit that the chorus's interjections are awesome I still wouldn't call that song "butchered".

*shrug* I just didn't like the cutting of the chorus I guess. Also, I thought it was Helena's weakest song.

>_< "I can still hear their death gurgles!!!"
The amount of gore came as a bit of a surprise for me. I had seen the original cast production on dvd a few years before and the gushing blood was limited ... but I suppose you can only fit so much blood inside a fake shaving knife while you're on stage ... It was funny, though, that whenever Sweeney brought his knife down, you could feel the whole theater tense up.
I did miss the chorus ... I mean even if they just put in the Reprise of the Ballad Sweeney Todd at the end it would have added a lot ... Then again ... That last image wouldn't be quite so haunting, would it?

I was impressed with Depp. For a man that can't sing, he worked his ass off to use his own voice and get it right. I was proud of him. It further proves how talented he is in BECOMING a character. He's one of few I recognize as a true actor.
I suppose I could forgive them for not including the wig song...

XD Yeah, I waited for this movie since it was announced, and even went to a midnight release screening. At first, I thought I was kind of disappointed with it, but then I went a second time and didn't understand how that was possible. The only things I really missed were the opening/closing Ballads, and "Kiss Me" (totally could've developed Anthony and Johanna, but hey, whatever). But other than that? EPIC LOVE. <3

I really missed "Kiss Me" also. It's one of my favorite songs from the show.

I think the moment Depp captures Sweeney's character most perfectly is when he sings a couple of lines from Epiphany "Sweeney's waiting ... I want you, bleeders."
No matter how many times I listen to that line it still scares the crap outta' me. He looks almost like an animal prowling the streets of London when he sings it, too

Oh, you mean the Judge's "Johanna"? Yeah, I thought he was sufficiently creepy myself, but that song definitely would've sealed the deal. XD But, since it's cut in most stage productions (I think...), it didn't really surprise me.

I'm not surprised they cut it either. But honestly, I didn't miss it. It's creepy, and I usually skip it when listening to the broadway cast recording. =p

Other songs I loved were No Place Like London (I loved the contrast in how Anthony and Sweeney say, "There's no place like London") and My Friends (hauntingly beautiful).
The only actors I couldn't stand singing in the movie were Johanna and Judge Turpin. I was pleasantly surprised at how they were able to properly sing their own roles for the most part. And I always love Burton's style. It worked really well with the whole feel of the movie. Overall the best movie that I've seen in the theater in a long time.

And, hey, don't get me wrong, I love Rickman, but he wasn't right for the role.
