Sweeney Todd

[Minister of Truth]

He should next do Romeo & Juliet without the intro about "Verona Faire." After offending musical audiences, why not Shakespearean?

Actually, I can't recall if they included the intro in the Leo DiCaprio/Claire Danes update. Tim may be too late for that...

Yes, they did include it. It is given as voice-over by "Captain Prince" while showing news footage of the fighting.

PWNED.

This is the best Tim Burton film since... ever. The music is also pretty good, being that it's made by Strondheim, who wrote the musical, instead of that guy Burton gets to write most of his music.

This was one of Depp's better performances... sometimes he acts well, other times he's as annoying as hell.

Yes it totally owns. Great movie.

Depp gets good flicks though. Even if he doesn't seem to act well in some of them, they wind up being entertaining anyway.

9th Gate is one of my favorites... But then I like the odd religious flick....

I'm not a big Tim Burton fan, but my favorite (not having seen Todd yet) so far is Sleepy Hollow.

Whenever Depp tries to act zany and crazy, he's annoying. Whenever he acts dissaffected, he's much better. His performance of Ed Wood and Willy Wonka was stupid, while his performance in Sweeney Todd and Pirates was a hell of a lot better. It actually seems like there's two different people playing it.

I guess it's pretty easy to act disaffected, though.
