I saw it a few days before Christmas, and I had no clue what it was about except that it was a barber who killed people. I knew no background, nothin', but hello it has Johnny Depp and Tim Burton on the marquee so it's bound to be good!!

And it was. It's bloodier than bloody, though, so if you aren't into blood and gore you may want to skip this one.

But they can SING! They all can. It really was a great movie!

He was truly good! And no amount of makeup can make that man ugly.

For those of you that HAVE seen it:

Is it just me or does it seem like Johnny is playing the exact same role as Jack Sparrow in Pirates? I mean, it was a good movie regardless but I couldn't help but notice it seemed Sweeney and Jack were almost the exact same character... or they were at least both played as the same character. If that makes sense lol

I mean I've never seen the original to know how Sweeney was supposed to be played but that's just my observation.

I wouldn't say it's scary... but it is VERY bloody and gory, so if blood makes you queasy this is not the movie for you.

It isn't scary per se but he's called a demon barber sooooo.....I don't want to give it away and ruin it for you but it's quite bloody.

Oh my gosh, I want to see this movie so bad. And so far my theatre hasn't come out with it yet, I may have to drive an hour just to see it, but it would be worth it!

It looks amazing and I love musicals!!

I really want to see this movie.... ever since I watched "Jersey Girl" with Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, George Carlin and and that little girl he's in the movie (who stole the show in my opinion), and they did the re-enactment for her school talent show(they did the "God that's good" song) I just have been dying to see the real thing.

We finally saw it this afternoon, and that was the song I was waiting for the whole time, becuase of Jersey Girl.

It was very well done, and very good. Gory yes, but I still liked it!

Happy to hear the positive reviews and so glad you enjoyed it.

You liked Jersey Girl too?! Yay!!! I love that movie! The little girl in there is so talented! I was kinda glad to see J-Lo killed off in the first 10 minutes, lol, but the rest of it was great! George Carlin is a good actor as well as comedian. And Liv Tyler... who cannot adore Liv Tyler!

I flipping loved this movie. I saw it last Saturday with a friend and it was awsome. Part great musical, part making fun of musicals, great cast. I've been playing the soundtrack since then!
