Sweeney Todd

I generally keep the movie reviews up to my brother (I even copied the image from his blog), but I had to comment on this one. Dave and I both wanted to see Sweeney Todd, but I knew very little about it and wanted to see it mainly because of the hype and my own curiosity. I am glad I did! It was probably the "darkest" movies I have ever seen, both in actual color and in content. However, it was highly entertaining, suspenseful and unpredictable (at least for me since I never saw the play). The movie was very bloody, but in a different sort of way...the graphics were not realistic, instead I would just simply call them artistic. You can interpret that how you want to, but I think you will understand once you've seen the movie. I was hooked right from the beginning and did not mind at all that it was a musical, which I sometimes get incredibly annoyed at! I think my favorite part (stop reading if you haven't seen it) may have actually been the less than happy ending. Every movie nowadays ends perfect...they break up and then get back together...the good guys overcome the evil...blah, blah, blah. This is one I think we will add to our collection! Another words...go see it as soon as you can!
