Johnny Depp can sing! :)
I have always loved this guy because he plays the quirky and weird characters with perfection.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street is based on Stephen Sondheim’s broadway musical about an innocent barber who is sent away to prison when a powerful man starts lusting after the barber’s beautiful wife. The barber returns to London after 20 years, and he’s no longer the same man. What he wants, more than anything else, is vengeance. The road to revenge begins in London.
Sweeney Todd is no 'Sound Of Music'. There are no cream-colored ponies, crisp apple strudels or adorable blond children; instead Sweeney Todd explores terrible men and foul meat pies. As if to emphasize the grimness of the story and the characters, director Tim Burton has drained his film of all vibrant colors (it is almost monochromatic), serving audiences a gloomy London filled with ominous goings-on.
Yet when Mr. T and Mrs. Lovett are plotting who to get rid of from the face of the earth complete with why those folks should die, I find myself smiling gleefully. The glee may have something to do with the singing and the lyrics, but the truth is Burton has managed to get just the right mix of macabre and comedy…again with a little help from his partner-in-movie Johnny Depp and partner-for-real; Helena Bonham Carter.
There is so much blood in this film – the opening sequence gives you a hint of what’s to come when Sweeney gives his customers the closest shave they’ve ever had. And the gruesome killings really hit home when the bodies crash into the basement head first.
There is perhaps one minor fault – a subplot about a young man’s infatuation with a fair maiden – which is a tad unnecessary.
And the ending – I didn’t expect the young boy to cut off Sweeney’s throat!
It was a real shocker. But delighting.
