Sweeney Todd

He's going without you?  How dare he not sit at home and suffer with you!  Do I need to come over and give him a talkin' to?

YES!  Better yet, just come hang out with me

I really do want to see this though.

Can't.  Got some hard-core sleddin' to do.

I wasn't sure about this at first, tbh. I love (most of) Tim Burton's work and I think Johnny Depp is super, but I kept thinking "But it's a musical, which means it could turn out to be incredible...or it could all go terrible wrong and be crap". I was torn, though, because I A-D-O-R-E Alan Rickman and will see anything featuring him, regardless. But after reading a few reviews and this thread, I think I shall go and see it! I'm excited now

Has anyone else seen this yet?

I finally did with a friend and was disappointed with it. I didn't think the hype lived up to the end product.  But Helena BC gave an amazing (acting) performance.

It finally starts here on Friday so I'll be going one day next week.

I thought Mr. Depp was fabulous.  But, then, in my eyes he can do no wrong.

Ditto for Mr. Rickman. I'm very much looking forward to it!

He is wonderfully creepy and evil.

He is, but after 5 Harry Potter films, I just wish he'd branch out and do something else.  I fear it's his voice that keeps typecasting him.

One of my alltime fave films is Truly Madly Deeply - he was so wonderful in that, so noble.  I sob at the end of that..  Ditto Sense & Sensibility.

But he has!  In between the Potter films he's done Love Actually, Hitchhiker's Guide, and Something The Lord Made.  He's far from creepy in all of those.

I've not seen the last two - or even heard of the last film. But again, he wasn't exactly a good guy in Love Actually though, was he??    Poor Emma.

I saw him years ago on stage. He is really mesmorising to watch. You couldnt take your eyes off him - and that was before he became a household name.. I also saw him in Lacock while he was filming one of the Potter films. He was very kind and polite.    Would love to see him snag an Oscar someday.....

The last one is actually very good, although I don't know if it counts since it was an HBO film.   It's about Alfred Blalock and Vivien Thomas, the team that invented bypass surgery.  Alan Rickman with a southern accent!!

I'm jealous you've seen him on stage!  Lucky girl.

I finally saw Sweeney Todd last night and I loved it! I knew Johnny Depp and Alan Rickman would be marvellous, and they were, but I thought Helena Bonham Carter stole the show. She was beyond amazing.

Loved it, loved it, loved it!

Oh, long time ago... possibly '92? He was tango-ing on stage and very, very sweaty...   And the woman he was dancing with, I saw later on after the play walking arm in arm with Helena BC, so they must be chums..
