Watched "Sweeney Todd" (2007) last night.

Depp and BonhamCarter are both not good enough singers to sing those part. BUT they make up for it with extremely well developed performances. Depp is just oozing with hate, and HelenaBonham is quite funny.

Gerard Butler is not anywhere near good enough to be The Phantom of the Opera, but he exudes so much raw primal passion and sexuality his performance still has something to grab onto and enjoy.

Crowe as Javert sucks even more in comparison. He can't sing the part, and also just kind of wanders around looking mad and confused.
