the movie isn't terrible, but again I wish it had been done years before, starring George Hern and Angela Lansbury. I wish it had been directed by someone other than Tim Burton. He's a weirdo.
Brightman out sings Rossum by far more than a mile. There is really no comparison.
The look of Burton's Sweeney Todd is all wrong. It is too outlandish, too Burtonesque.
