I hate to tell you this, but if you don't want it filled out with songs, you might as well walk away. They sing most sentences.

88% Musical/Singing
12% Normal/Speaking

Oddly enough, I enjoyed it, though I rather hate musicals. I'd watch it again, though I can tell it wouldn't be as good the second time around.

I usually hate musicals too, but if Rent or West Side Story had throat siting, gushing geysers of blood, and every last one o fthe ending with a corpse dropped violently on it's head, i would watch them over and over :)

I would have loved to slit a few throats in RENT!

Ditto THAT, my brother...

Re: Sweeney Todd - TOTALLY enjoyable. Very bloody. Very Johnny Depp. And a side of Burton that I haven't seen in a while. Excellent direction, amazing costumes, and I thought that the singing was incredible.

But don't take your mother. :o

This made me think of 2 things:

I forgot that you toured in rent

I think they should make a broadway musical out of the :Lease: segment in Team America. I think broaday is ready for "Eveyone has AIDS!"

I'd do it in a heartbeat!

I'd rock that shit hard!

I think Burton was a lot less Burtonish with this movie and showed a lot of restraint in some ways. The obnoxious whimsy wasn't really present, and Depp wasn't acting irritatingly ingenuous. It felt about as perverse as the Raven and Mad Love and such were.

Urge to throw in "Pearl Harbor Sucks" is too strong...

It's funny to me how many people were unaware this was a fullon musical. The Sondheim version of Sweeney Todd has been around for 50 years, it's not like it was some big secret.
