Musical hit Sweeney Todd on Blu-ray

I was little hesitant to see this movie because I'm not big fan of musicals. I gave it a chance because I'm a big Tim Burton fan. Based on a novel Tim Burton does an excellent job developing the story and character and bringing it to the big screen. Without a doubt this is a great bloddy movie.

Johnny Depp plays the title role named Benjamin Barker who is happily married father in London. Judge Turpinlusts after Barker's wife and he sentences Barker to prison. Afterwards, he seduces Barker's wife and holds their daughter until she is old enough to marry him. 15 yearslater Barker escapes and returns to London to take revenge. He does so by taking an identiy as Sweeny Todd. The story expands from there into fine bloody mess for everyone involved.

Johnny Depp does an admirable job as the leading role and Helena does decent job. It is musical and Helena isn't a singer. Other than that, it is very convincing role for both.

This is an amazing film even if you have never heard of Stephen Sondheim's work. Making this musical was little bit of risk but all in all, it is a fantastic film.
