SWEENEY TODD.
It's not bad.
I have seen the Tim Burton version of this story and absolutely loved it. I am a massive Tim Burton fan, and in fact it is one of my favourite Tim Burton movies.
This version of the story was made before Tim's version. It was made for TV apparently and stars Ray Winstone as Sweeney Todd.
Ray is alright in this, but there are times where he is not very believable in this film. I like Ray, I think he has made some great films, but maybe this one was not for him. They could have found someone better to play Sweeney.
There are some really great supporting cast in this film though... it has got Essie Davis playing Mrs Lovett. Essie does a great job. I felt sorry for her a lot of the time in the movie. It also has David Warner, Tom Hardy and David Bradley in it... David Warner is brilliant as always, Tom Hardy plays a detective really well and David Bradley plays Sweeney's father. David Bradley is great in this... but have you noticed how in every film he looks the same? Haha! He is always gonna be Filch to me. J
The effects were alright in most places, but there were a couple of times where I thought the blood looked too unrealistic. Way too thick, it looked like paint.
There were quite a lot of changes in the story in this one compared to the Tim Burton version, but they are both similar also.
I will give this movie 7 out of 10...
I really enjoyed watching this movie and love the story... but it is not Ray's best work.
