This screenplay is very dramatic- the acting scenes, and the music was very dramatic as well. I like Depp, and Carter's performences. They both have very nice voices that seem to match quite well to every scene they performed in. I have also seen another version of "Tale of Sweeny Todd"on regular T.V. which was quite different in terms of the movie plot, but I have never seen a horror movie made into a musical. I think everyone should at least get the soundtract, and judge for yourself!!!!

I think this production will prove to be the best of all time. All the acting, and singing was really hard core, and humorous as well. Some scenes are grotesque, and with dark humor mixed with delight. A mixture of drama, torture, and violent humor is what makes the film seem untouchable. Read the storyline about the vengful barber who goes on a killing rampage, singing as he goes along with a full orchestra as an accompiament. You will want to keep comming back for more tunes from this dark tale.

We all talk about this movie, but not Johnny Depp!! If this movie is the best, Johnny Depp should give his comments, but he is still silent!!!Why? I don't understand, because he likes to visit his fansites.

Also if Johnny Depp see this, I want to ask him: "When he begin to respect people and their opinions? And why his previuose e-mail which is situated in yahoo(johncdepp2@yahoo.com) didn't work?"
BTW: anybody knows his new e-mail ?(I know that he is written as johnny_depp_luver)

People, I don't bet with you! I like Tim Burton very much and his movies too. Particularly, his"Sleepy Hollow".It's my favourite movie. And I'm happy that every next eyar he creates new good movie where play different actors and which is always very interesting to watch. To be honestly, I LIKE "SWEENEY TODD" and I've bought yet it oh DVD, because I saw this musical when I was a child. And since that time I'd loved it. But I don't understand just one thing:
WHY Johnny Depp DON'T CARE ABOUT HIS FANS? You all watched TV and you knew that happens on that premier of movie. AND HIS SPEECH ABOUT HIS FEELINGS SEEMED AS LIE! It's my opinion!

O-o-o-o-o! New opinion in this World!:-) I LIKE TIM BURTON AND HIS MOVIES TOO. And "Sleeepy hollow" is my favourite movie too, but Dear Lyutsiyana, HERE WE ARE TALKING AND DISCUSSING HIS NEW MOVIE, Which I'd loved since my childhood too, "Sweeney Todd"!!! AND I UNDERSTAND HIM IN THAT HE LIKES TO SHOOT HIS FAVOURITE actor - Johnny C. Depp II. But I can't agree with you about him in some parts. IT'S NOT A LACK OF HIS ATTENTION TO HIS FANS,IT'S JUST A LACK OF ATTENTION TO THIS MOVIE!!! We don't know WHY HE'S ALWAYS THINKING JUST ABOUT HIS Jack SPARROW AND IS GOING IN CYCLES ON IT?! He just Didn't use HIS SOUL shooting here, in "Sweeney Todd", but he always did it and movies became best from it!

Probably, you are right. But... THAT WOMAN was transparted in hospital DUE TO HIM, and There was Tim Burton's fall too. Because they're his fans (fans of his movies) too!

Well, for Johnny Depp this movie is NOT INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT. It's just his next movie. That's it and nothing more, therefore he don't care about his fans and that woman too. BUT NOT FOR TIM BURTON. HE's really good man who pay attention to his movie and to people!!! He's thinking always about every jests, word of his heroes AND, FOR ME, IT'LL BE SUCH an honour to create movies with him future. O-O-O, HE'S ONE OF THE BEST MOVIE DIRECTOR, WHOM I'VE EVER SEEN!!! And I'm talking it as a scriptwriter.
Ou, about Johnny's e-mail. I don't know his new e-mail, but that e-mail really didn't work. It's
possible that he creates new e-mail every time when he's entering in enternet and forget about previous. It's silly!!!

No, it's another! HE JUST don't respect and value people if they are not famouse! And HIS OPINION OF HIMSELF is higher that he is in reality. HE HAS NO HEART, Because he don't want to help people who need in his help!!!

I hopes that Tim Burton and johnny Depp will never create movies together because they two are CRAZY MIX where TIM BURTON IS THE BEST MOVIE DIRECTOR and JOHNNY DEPP- THE ACTOR WITHOUT SOUL AND FEELINGS!!!

JOHNNY DOES HAVE A SOUL, HEART AND FEELINGS!!! he gave a great some of money to The Great Ormand Street. He also had his Jack Sparrow costume flown from LA to London to suprise the kids! Tim Burton and Johnny Depp have made great movies together too! so if you two keep saying Johnny doesn't have feelings or whatever YOU'RE VERY WRONG!

Dear Nadia, it's just you opinion about Johnny Depp..So..Different people have different opinion about things, people and etc. Yes, this his act speaks about his love to children, to concretly children but to all people who loves him. It was a Gesture of mercy. Each actor should show the mercy to the certain groups of the population. Then people will love more, strongly-you know-it can to raise a rating. But my words about him, his heart, his soul was direct not to negative attitude to his peeson- no- I just meaned that HE DIDN'T pay attention to his fans as more as they pay him!!!
And you, and me- we all are right about him in some parts of our opinion...

To be fair, non of us can judge Johnny because non of us know him. We can only go on what we see of him. Which is an incredibly small percentage of what he is actually like. But why think bad of him? Watch him closely. The way he speaks, the way he acts around fans and interviewers. You'll see that he is a very timid person and you can tell how nice a guy he actually is. It doesn't take a lot to see that. You can't say that someone doesn't have feelings. That's a very harsh thing to say. Especially about someone you don't even know! And Johnny is one person. His fans are in the thousands! So how is he expected to please everyone? Give him a break! And please, think about what you're about to type. He is a human being! Not a 'thing'.
