SWEENEY TOD: DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET

New Tim Burton's film hits the cinemas! Awsome master-peice about Sweeney Todd (Johnny Depp) who comes back to London after 15 years, expecting to see his loving family, but time did itself. He finds there his old aquitance mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter) who is in love in him, and they make barber and pie maker job one. The specialty of a movie is the fact that it is a musical and that most famous stars of Burton's films were in positions of a singers too. Music for film was composed by Stephen Sondheim, who is famous for his previous arrangments for musicals.
Film is full of blood, hate, revenge and canibalism. It's based on Sweeney's revenge, whose actual name is Benjamin Barker, who wants to kill serveral people who made him unhapy in his life.
Johnny Depp found himself prefectly in role of melancholic Sweeney, and showed himself aa a great singer and also a great actor, and with what he has proven his Acadamy award nominee. His film mate Helena Bonham Carter also has found herself great in this role and fits perfectly to mrs. Lovetts carachter.  As secondary act is deffinitelly worth to mention Sacha Baron Choen known as Borat who acts Italian barber mr. Pirelli who is also a trader with "magic" fluids.
Tim Burton once again proved himself as a great director, professional in goth/horror movies, and he directed the whole musical so good that he made it from usual musical to perfect goth horror musical that is inspired with blood and canibalism.
Definitelly a movie to go see.
