Dressed in his tight pants with a perm and Bride of Frankenstein shock of white hair-Depp's and Burton's Demon Barber looks like tinkerbell on meth. Enough of Depp's homosexual onscreen personas. He is a fake. And he does not have the talent to sing these incredible Sondheim songs. He is not a good enough actor to bring weight and rage to this part. Bonham Carter cannot sing either and she lacks any of the demented charisma and hilarity of Angela Lansbury. The chorus of robots walking in the back are so wrong-Prince staged this as a tale of a demon of the streets. A demon should be terrifying-not fetching. Burton has never had a clue-and to cut the theme music has emasculated the musical. Burton's forte is of course to present the emasculated as art. Johhny Depp sings Sweeney-pathetic.

I'm already missing the phrase "Eye - Talian" from Mrs. Lovett in the trailor (sic) "That's all very well, but what are we going to do about (him) the Eye-talian!"

It has all of the things that could make for a perfect movie. Alan Rickman! Johnny Depp! Tim Burton! New style musical! ( I really liked Moulin Rouge) Justified revenge/serial killing! Sacha Cohen! All of these things are amazing when seperat, but it just doesn't do anything for me. Is it because he is just a barber, which is kind of lame? Or has the Burton/Depp/Bonham-Carter trifecta just been completely over done? Is there somethign wrong with me thaT I am completely uninterested in this movie?

Alan Rickman!
Johnny Depp!
Tim Burton!
