Bloody hell
I love Tim Burton, but I've been waiting since 1999's Sleepy Hollow for the guy to make another really great film. Unfortunately, Sweeney Todd is not that film. Far from it actually. The problem isn't so much Burton's direction, but the Stephen Sondheim musical the film was based on. The songs are generally toe-curlingly bad and they make up about 90% of the movie. The film looks spectacular and Johnny Depp is great in the leading role, but the songs really ruined this one for me.
