negative · AI labelView post →The other day someone here suggested that Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd was the worst film they’d ever seen. How lucky, I thought, to lead such a sheltered life.
neutral · AI labelView post →whats the worst movie u have ever seen? for me it is hands down Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
negative · AI labelView post →If I was designing a movie theatre I'd make it so anyone who pulls out their mobile phone during the movie just drops through the floor like the Sweeney Todd barber chair.
neutral · AI labelView post →I mean, Sweeney Todd isn’t even Tim Burton’s worst film. I dunno, maybe Sweeney Todd is the only film this person has ever seen. 🤷🏻♂️
neutral · AI labelView post →Back when it was in theaters, a friend and I went to see the Sweeney Todd movie with Johnny Depp. I don't think I'm spoiling anything by revealing that there's a lot of blood. It got an R rating for a reason. At the booth, the ticket seller decided he needed to warn us about... the singing.

positive · AI labelView post →Also, for a non-theater person, Sweeney Todd is a deep cut. ST the movie came out in 2007, wasn’t on Broadway again til 2023, & he knows the plot? But not Les Mis, when every high school talent show from 1995-2007 featured at least 3 girls screeching out Castle In the Sky or On My Own? Sure Jan.

Although visually impressive, Burton butchers much of Sondheim's brilliant soundtrack in abbreviated musical version of madness, murder, & meat pies. Rewatch. #filmsky 📽
neutral · AI labelView post →Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme kicked a woman and his ex-wife alleged domestic abuse. Why the cosy makeover?. I’ll bite: how about the fact that frontman Josh Homme’s ex-wife Brody Dalle testified in court that he head-butted her so hard that she “saw stars” and said he had fantasised about killing her? Or that he kicked a female photographer in the face? It’s certainly not what anyone’s talking about as part of Homme’s friendly neighbourhood rock star image rehabilitation: duetting on…
neutral · AI labelView post →Continuing my journey through Tim Burton's Filmography: Sweeney Todd - it's pretty good! Depp is a bit flat, but other performances are great. Alice in Wonderland - Abysmal. Possibly the ugliest movie ever made. I have no idea what Depp is supposed to be doing. Hated watching this.
positive · AI labelView post →That reminds me of one of my all-time favorite movie theater moments. So, Sweeney Todd. No one was aware that it was a musical as it wasn't made clear in the promo material. Anywho, a buncha high schoolers came in late and sat down in unison. The movie got musical. They wordlessly left in unison.

negative · AI labelView post →Tim Burton (1) really only directs dark movies (tonally, not luminously), and (2) went through a phase where everything he did either involved the actress Helena Bonham Carter (including his marriage, for a while) or the actor Johnny Depp (to whom he was not married), or both. The question for this Jeopardy answer could equally be any of five things: - What is *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory*? (the 2005 film, not to be confused with the 1971 *Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory*) -…

neutral · AI labelView post →This is completely unrelated but earlier tonight my wife was watching the recent(-ish) Les Mis movie with Hugh Jackman, and Helena Bonham Carter was on screen and as I passed through the room for a second I thought it was Sweeney Todd she was watching. I'm getting weird deja vu right now is all lol

Then took a trip to childhood and it still held up. The sequel, not so much. Finished with Sweeney Todd on a decent but could be better note. #Letterboxd
neutral · AI labelView post →There's a possibility where he knows the name Sweeney Todd and knows he's a barber, but only from the Miss Congeniality movie, which doesn't really help the other rumors here.

neutral · AI labelView post →Dunno if it was any one scene, but during Tony Jaa's The Protector, these guys REALLY got into the fight scenes where they would go "OHHHHHH!" at every blow landed. They made that movie. Or there was the row of HS students who silently left in unison the SECOND they heard singing in Sweeney Todd.
neutral · AI labelView post →Congrats on being uncancelled Mr Depp! I look forward to the triumphant return of your Jack Sparrowy Sweeney Todd voice in this pointless film
negative · AI labelView post →But he knows the plot of Sweeney Todd, which is from the 70s, hasn't been running for decades in both New York and London, and had a movie that was released longer ago and was less critically acclaimed?
neutral · AI labelView post →I will be forever salty that we didn't get to see him let loose on "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd" in the movie adaptation. You know he absolutely killed it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tim Burton movie of the day, and probably my favorite one. Now Watching: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street Everything about this movie is fantastic. The songs. The CASTING. The gore. One of my favorite musicals ever.
positive · AI labelView post →All the dudes malding about Joker 2 being a musical is reminding me of when I went on a blind date when I was 17 to see Sweeney Todd, and right at the beginning of the film he leaned over to me and said "Wait, is this a musical?" hahahaha

neutral · AI labelView post →In an era in which I can see the entirety of the new cast of Sweeney Todd the very night of their first performance, a film predicated on the idea that only one person on earth has thought to surreptitiously record a recording-averse soprano seems dearly quaint, but be that as it may...
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Sweeney Todd for the first time and pretty good film, fun story (dark as fuck lmao) but I very much enjoyed :3
positive · AI labelView post →This is a stunning film. Sweeney Todd and Mrs Lovat are Denis Quilley and Sheila Hancock – look out for wine expert Oz Clarke and Michael Staniforth (Timothy Claypole from Rentaghost) in supporting roles.
neutral · AI labelView post →Revisited Burton’s SWEENEY TODD, which achieves something rare: it’s a film musical that’s genuinely frightening. The damn thing is as pared-down as an adaptation could be, maniacal in focus. Speeds and fumes like a train powered by spite and rage. Belongs in his top 3 alongside ED WOOD and PEE WEE.
positive · AI labelView post →This movie is basically Tim Burton Sweeney Todd and that is my final word on the matter
neutral · AI labelView post →Victor Garber originated roles in DEATHTRAP, SWEENEY TODD, NOISES OFF, LEND ME A TENOR, ASSASSINS, ARCADIA and ART. How this man has never won a single major award in film, theatre, or TV is beyond me. One of the GOATs. #filmsky

The trailer for the film, starring Johnny Depp and directed by Tim Burton. So I was very surprised when they all started singing and dancing in the film. This was never mentioned or shown in the film's trailer! I just double-checked on Wiki and people in the UK logged official complaints with the Advertising Standards Authority and Trading Standards agency. The only other example that…

neutral · AI labelView post →10. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) Yeah this sure is a Tim Burton joint. Gray, dreary, with the same cast as every other Tim Burton film. Depp and HBC don't quite fill the roles of Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett and their performances are very emotionless most of the movie.
