The Broadway tunes give you the sense of the man eats man class battle in
The backdrops immerse you in the 19th century
Todd himself is particularly well-portrayed in this production by Johnny Depp, who seems to have adopted a flawless Cockney British accent for the role, (though it did remind me a little of his Jack Sparrow character from Pirates.) Helen Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen both also give very good, memorable performances. The three younger performers, though they are quite new, also fare well in this film, considering the high bar set by the other veteran performers. Oh yeah, and Timothy Spall’s character gave me the creeps, so good on him too.
I give this film four stars – It’s worth going out of your way to see once, though it’s not necessarily life-changing, nor is it by any mean’s
I think Tim Burton should remake the Batboy Musical. I just thought I’d throw that in there.
