With stars like Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman and Timothy Spall it is truelly a masterpiece to envision - okay I might be a bit biased because the last three mentioned are all major stars of the Harry Potter franchise. And the fleeting glimpse of Anthony Stewart Head from the Buffy saga really worked for me.
The story of the movie is of age old tradition - but the violence they have worked in and the musical numbers working together with that are just awesome. The only fault I can find is the accent - Cockney, and sometimes when they sing it becomes hard to make out the words of the song due to accent.
The violence works except for the part where they mince the people Sweeney kills and use them as the filling in the pies that are made and sold to the general public.
I thought the fictional wedding scene in Helena's head was hilarious but that was also the end of it, unless there are other scenes that I am too daft to catch.
I am giving the movie a solid 7/10
