Horror fans for some unknown reason the horror genre isn't that well respected in main stream hollywood. However every so often we do get one or two horror films that main stream hollywood seems to like and respect and i'm going to be reviewing on of those films for you all right now and so then join me as I review the film that is to date Johnny Depp's only horror ad musical film with the freaking film in question being called simply just "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street" enjoy.
The plot of this film is fifteen years after being exiled to Australia a barber by the name of Benjamin Barker goes home to London looking for revenge on the corrupt judge who sent him there. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with this films plot being genuinely quite engaging and at times at rather shocking and heartbreaking as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Johnny Depp as Benjamin Barker / Sweeney Todd and Helena Bonham Carter as Nellie Lovett. Also starring in this film is of the course the late and the most certainly great Alan Rickman as Judge Turpin , Timothy Spall as Beadle Bamford , Jayne Wisener as Johanna Barker , Sacha Baron Cohen as Adolfo Pirelli , Laura Michelle Kelly as Lucy Barker / The Beggar Woman , Jamie Campbell Bower as Anthony Hope and Ed Sanders as Tobias 'Toby' Ragg.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to su in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With the actors and actress that you expect great performances from really delivering but the films quality of acting is every so slightly let down by it's more younger cast members tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Doing the CGI for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Moving Picture Company and I think Cinesite. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with this films CGI mainly being used to enhance what was already there n the day o filming which is always how CGI should be used in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Incase you don't know this film actually isn't the first film to be called Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street with that honor going to the 1936 film of the exact same name. In fact the only thing that is really different between the two films is the fact that this one is a musical where as the 1936 film isn't a musical but it just goes to show you just how iconic this story is as it's been told time and time again since 1846 and the story is still very popular to this very day in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
To me this film is a tragedy since we see Sweeney Todd lose everything that he ever loved all in the name of revenge. Since we see how much Sweeney has before he's exiled we see that he has a wife that he loves and that loves him and he has a baby girl whom he thinks the world of but tho due to Judge Turpin Sweeney Todd comes back to London looking for revenge and because of that he loses everything that he ever held dear to him because of the fact that he becomes blinded by his need for revenge in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
The songs and the music for this film where all written by the late and the most certainly great Stephen Sondheim and I have to say that this films songs are well and truly phenomenal. With each of this films songs either being fairly creepy and scary , romantic or just very darkly funny with there being absolutely no inbetween with my personal favourite song being "Epiphany" just because it's such a good song in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this films exact grand total running time even was but I do know that this film has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly one hour and fifty one minuets. Which is a tad bit on the long side for this film since this film really doesn't need to be that long at all since this film really doesn't have enough story there to cover that large amount of running time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now since this film is a slasher film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film are in all honesty not that bad. However that's also the issue because of the fact that alot of this films are just the same kill done over and over again in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this film is just so freaking good that it really does need to be seen to believed is it a perfect nope absolutely not but it's a damned near perfect freaking film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 9 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Wikipedia , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we ends this review as we always freaking do with our one and true freaking goddess Elvira wishing us all some very freaking unpleasant dreams indeed.
