Sweeny Todd
was surprisingly good, although I did have a few quibbles- mainly that neither Depp or Bonham-Carter can really sing, that the buy they selected to play Anthony looked entirely too much like Kate Moss and was utterly non-believable, and that Burton messed with the plotline a little too much- Sweeny arrived in London already homicidal, rather than descending into it as he should have. But they're pretty minor gripes, really- I'm comparing it to the Angela Landsbury/George Hearn stage version that I have on DVD, which is a much different animal entirely.
