On Halloween night, I thought i was getting a treat! A scary treat at that. Poised to receive the scare of my life, my friends suggest we watch "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" (Tim Burton, 2007). I was horrified by two things; the singing, and the "special"-effects.
Casting led to a weak and unskilled set of lungs to support this boisterous score. Sadly, I think some personal favors got in the way. The seemingly common law "marriage" (they aren't actually married) between Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter (Mrs. Lovett) seems to be the first culprit. As a musical person myself, i was disappointed with how terrible the singing was, this being a musical movie. In addition, the constant annoying singing led to my strong dislike for Sweeney Todd.
In the first scene, I was greeted with the worst CGI i have ever witnessed. I mean, this movie put out worse graphics than my N64 when I was, like, 12 years old! I thought to myself, "Why the heck is a multi-million dollar budget movie doing using crappy CGI for what should be the realest looking blood I've ever seen in my life?" If anything it inspired me to be unafraid of what was to come.
Even worse? Oh yes, I was about to FALL ASLEEP the plot was so dis-compelling.
Sorry, Tim. I guess you'll have to try again some other time :(
