Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Well, it's a musical. Every time it starts to build some kind of momentum, people start singing for no reason and it all goes to pot. Musicals are such a worthless genre of film, I wonder why people continue to make them. I think some people consider the lyrics witty, but it's wordplay for wordplay's sake and nothing more. And the music's not great: brassy and offbeat and grating. It's a waste of talented actors, fine sets, and on-screen blood (though not as much as I was led to believe).
