While I got the movie and it was in perfect condition and worked marvelously, the case was in horrible disrepair. The top of the case was crushed shut and dented in, while the other end had a busted clip, so the bottom of the case was completely open. I have another case now, and I see why it was priced low, but at least a little quality assurance for the case would be good.

Singing and slashing who knew these could go hand in hand. I give it a more than good but not quite excellent rating -it is a little hard to understand the british accents in song at first. The cast (harry potter meets pirates) is excellent -I think the 'blonde kid' should have been played by 'draco malfoy' to complete the theme. I didn't realize it was a musical although I knew it had singing and wow am I impressed, who knew they could sing apparently not even them, but they belted it. It's Johnny Depp singing definately a must see -he should do more singing roles.
I liked the idea of a musical that wasn't all happy and high pitched screeching. The plot was not too complicated - rather simple - and based on how far some people are willing to go to get revenge for having their life ruined by another. I have always admired Johnny Depp's acting abilities. I honestly think he makes the movies he stars in. He's just crazy enough to make it look effortless. I find the songs get stuck in my head often and after watching the movie, I feel like I HAVE to watch it again soon. This movie is also horrific in the amount of violence and gore - this is NOT why I enjoy the movie. I would say this movie is disturbing - except I agree with the reason behind Todd's actions (how many persons wouldn't react in this way to some degree - not necessarily violent?).Read full review
I cannot not say initially that I enjoyed this film the first time I had watched it in the theater. I had gone into the film not knowing a thing about the plot, nor had I realized that it was a musical. However, I had always been a huge fan of the Depp-Bonham Carter duo, so after seeing the film for the second time, I was hooked. The dark, enchanting ways in which Tim Burton directs in his films is only again captured in this film. After his daughter is taken away, and wife driven to insanity, Ben Barker seeks revenge on the corrupt judge whose rulings loom over Victorian era in London. Beautifully carried out, Sweeney Todd unfolds the secrets of love, revenge and tragedy.
