JOHNNY DEPP KILLED IT IN "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" *MOVIE REACTION* 

Apparently the studio (or whoever) was not happy with the ending where the young boy kills Sweeney. They thought it was too dark. But Tim Burton just refused to change it. Me, personally, I think it works perfectly.

I was in a production of this show in my home state of Washington, it's an absolute masterpiece and pretty well adapted in this film. Also, fun fact, they cast Johnny Depp without knowing if he could sing, they were spending millions on the film and had never heard him sing before, thankfully he managed to pull it off.

We got Turpin’s rat which is ironic since he’s Ron’s rat in Harry Potter And pirelli from Le Mis 😂 Jamie Bower from Mortal instruments and recently Stranger Things Alan Rickman Johnny and Helen The cast is immaculate 😩

I'm SO glad you loved this! I hope you will consider Moulin Rouge. Completely differently musical, but a really good one.

Helena BC just like “yeah whatever”after Johnny’s big dramatic meltdown 😂

Primate, this should set you off on a Tim Burton filmography binge, his work is so weird but human at the same time, this movie is timeless, the story is so tragic and deaths are so exaggerated and poetic, I like how music was used to set the heavy mood throughout, musicals are a hit and miss for me, but this is an all time hit

I found this movie in high school and was instantly hooked. I love tim burton as well as johnny but i had no idea what the movie was about. glad your watching this one. The way bodies slide from the chair to the basement will forever be imprinted in my brain since i was 16 lol

Yo Sweeney Todd my friend got me into this I enjoyed it ever since & yeah like always Johnny kills it the music was fantastic & the ending was truly shocking I'm glad you liked it bruh.

To quote Jafar, when you finally watched Sweeney Todd: *"YES! AT LAAAAST!" (Maniacal laughing)*

I love this film! It's one of my favourite Tim Burton/ Johnny Depp films. A musical/ film i'd absolutely love for you to watch is Tick, Tick... BOOM! It came out last November, it's starring Andrew Garfield (Amazing Spiderman) and was directed by Lin Manuel Miranda (his directorial debut) who played Hamilton in Hamilton obviously, and it's based on a true story. I watched it for the first time this Tuesday and it honestly hasn't left my mind since

The actor who plays the young sailor is now VECNA, from Stranger Things!!😜🔥🔥🔥🔥

My mom and me watched Musical movies growing up. I have so many favorites The Phantom Of the Opera, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, The Kind and I, Annie, Phantom of the Paradise, Rumpelstiltskin. I highly recommend both Moulin Rouge, and Repo The Genetic Opera. Just to clear things up, his wife did poison herself only she didn't die and suffered from burns on her face. She became homeless and watching Joanna from the window outside the Judges house for 15 years. It's very sad.

Hey, love the video. Btw if you enjoyed seeing Johnny Depps beautiful acting skills this movie You should watch the movie Black Mass where he is depicting a bad ass mob boss.

A musical in a more darker-tone similar to Sweeny Todd, but much more comedic is The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I always love watching them together for halloween in October.

Nice! Love this movie. Saw it as an off-broadway production in New York about five years ago. Took place in a pie shop and they served pies before the show. Sweeney Todd jumped on people's tables and slashed his knife at us. And then on the way back to our hotel we got to ride with Judge Turpin. What a fun night

Musical-Horror Cinematic with cannibalism. Johnny Depp plays the villain protagonist. Phenomenal plot points. Incredible costumes and musical numbers...

If you liked this and want to discover more musicals, I really have to recommend "Starkid" They produce and post musicals for free right here on RU-vid and they're good! Their early work is more parody based "A very Potter musical" "Holy musical Batman" "Twisted" and "Trail to Oregon" is all based on something from pop culture and they do a good job with it. Then their later work is more serious.. "the guy who didn't like musicals" and "Black Friday" are apart of the 'Hatchetfield' trilogy and the songs are fire!..imo. You don't have to react to them but I'd bet my money that you'd enjoy them! Their Harry Potter musical is iconic, but do check out "the guy who didn't like musicals" for a nice twist on the whole "musical" thing.

This movie got snape bellatrix Peter pettgrew young grindelqald (the dude from stranger things) and old grindlewald Johnny depp

Sees your reaction to Perelli getting his throat cut You’d better get used to it, because you’ll be seeing a lot more of it later I’ve loved this movie since I got it on dvd I remember I bought it because my old high school science teacher mentioned it in class one day. It’s up there with Jack Sparrow among my favorite Johnny Depp performances

I'm not big on musicals either, but the only ones i do like are a lot of dialogue with some songs. If it's a musical where it's entirely singing, i avoid it like the plague. I haven't seen Les Miserables or Hamilton. But i love Chicago. Sweeney Todd and the Phantom of the Opera have some really great songs

I was introduced to this movie the summer after it came out and was never into musicals. But ever since i watched it ive found new love of the genre. I even bought the soundtrack which never gets old. Every song is masterful.

The young boy in this who we see fall for the girl, Anthony, is played by Jamie Campbell Bower. He's in S4 of Stranger Things. He also played young Grindelwald in Harry Potter DH pt 1 when Voldemort seeks out Gregorovitch's memories to trace the Elder Wand. Watch out for him in Stranger Things though

You may recognize Jamie Campbell (Anthony) from the new stranger things season, I didn't even know until I saw him in this reaction

My absolute favorite moment in theater was getting to play the Judge against one of my best friends playing Sweeney, we were so in to the Performance that opening night. Damn it was electric and the pretty women reprise scene. I miss acting in high-school.

Bro if you want to deal with some fun musicals you got to deal with a classic though Grease the soundtrack my dude I defy you to watch that movie and not have those songs just be in your head where you're just randomly singing them throughout the day for like a week after I hear there's a sequel but it's not good I've never seen the sequel but the original Grease is very very good it came out in the '70s but is based in the 50s is something you might need to know

If you get the chance to see Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland flicks, do it!! More Johnny and Helena. But other great cast, including Mia Wasikowska. Imo better than this. Rewatchable af.

Another amazing musical I think you would really like is Rent from 2005, amazing songs and great characters as well as a powerful story.

Little Shop of Horrors (1986) next! Sweeney Todd and that are my favorite movie musicals of which, like you, I’m not a fan of overall. Those two really stick out for me.

This movie has definitely gotten me through some rough times , absolutely love Johnny Depp 🖤

Chicago is an incredible musical you’d love!

Another Johnny Depp recommendation I have is a small skit he did with Ricky Gervais on his show called “Life’s too short”. It’s only like 4 minutes long and it’s on RU-vid so you could like add it at the end of the next Depp movie you watch

Sweeney Todd is definitely 1 of my top 5 favorite musicals!!! Totally loved your reaction to this great tragedy!!! I would like to recommend one of my other top 5 favorites for you to watch. The Phantom of the Opera has a great story and awesome music so I think you would enjoy it!!! 🤩

Tim Burton is one of my all time favorite directors, and this is one of my favorites of his movies.

u should try out gerad butlers version of the phantom of the opera

I’ve watched very few musicals, but I enjoyed this one.

Watch dark shadows next

sweeney todd the demon barber of Fleet Street (2007/2008)

i personally love johnny depp’s voice, in fact he started his career as a singer/musician and till today that’s what he likes the most and he has a band that’s pretty good and plays all around the world. i love him as an actor too of course and this movie is amazing! loved ur reaction 🫶🏼

"JOHNNY DEPP KILLED IT IN..." pun intended?😅

Singnore Pirelli Is Played By Sascha Baron Cohen

This film and Little Shop of Horrors are my favorite

I think you would enjoy more of Stephan Sondheims work (the composer of this). Into the woods and company are two that come to mind. I would also recomend west side story and sound of music.

The best musical comedy horror film since Little Shop Of Horrors.

Repo! The Genetic Opera is also a great musical. Basically about harvesting organs.

“pretty women” and “T.W.P.I.L” are my top favorite songs from this! Johnny Depp did an ASTOUNDING job! Then again, it’s always a vibe whenever he and Tim Burton team up!

Perfume: a story of a murderer is a great one too. Alan Rickman in it and Dustin Hoffman and dirty old kinda vibe like in this one. It's not a musical though. Worth checking out too. Great reaction!

omg i just realized isnt that pettegrew

omg, this movie is one of my all-time favorites!!! Johnny is so FANTASTIC!!!!!

YAAAASSS I love this movie

Young Grindelwald, old Grindelwald (Johnny), Peter Pettigrew, Snape, Bellatrix ... anyone else?

I think I've never pressed a video as quickly 😅🙏

Here we fuckin go

Fun fact: Laura Michelle Kelly (The Beggar Woman) is only SIX years older than Jayne Wisener (Johanna), despite the fact that they play mother and daughter.

Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😁

TBH… I usually don’t compare remakes/reboots, but… As a fan of the original stage show (Which you REALLY do need to check out for yourself!), as visually cool as this flick is, there’s so much missing in this interpretation. Sure! While Depp & Rickman were alright here, Sasha Baron Cohen & Helena Bonham Carter were truly miscast. (THERE! I said it!) The young man playing “Toby” was terrific, though! My real issue with this flick is how Burton traded the almost delicious dark humor, for the gore! (Don’t get the wrong idea… My handle is, “BUTCHER’”, as I ran a “Butcher Shop”, in a local haunted house, long ago.😉) But… The downplayed, “A Little Priest” especially, just had me distracted & disappointed, throughout the rest of the picture. REALLY! Check out the 1981 stage version, starring George Hearn & Angela Lansbury! 😉 Best to you & yours, especially on this Independence Day holiday! 😁🇺🇸

I loved your reaction, this is one of my favorite movies/musicals and I think people really discount it. Definitely deserves coverage. My favorite moment is always the twist at the end! It's so good and unexpected!

This movie got me interested in Johnny Depp as an actor. I already seen him as Jack Sparrow and Edward Scissorhands, but never thought anything of it.

The thing that continues to amuse me greatly is Stephen Sondheim’s stated purpose in writing this musical. “I wanted to see if I can scare people during a musical.” 😂 The reason lacks depth yet he did not phone in the work whatsoever. Many consider Sweeney Todd to be his masterpiece. I’ve been a huge Sondheim fan for 20+ years now, so it was cool to see you appreciating/vibing with the music and lyrics. Sondheim’s life was rather unusual and wrote music that really spoke to the human condition. Some of his shows had really unique concepts, with the most interesting arguably being ‘Assassins.’ Its cast of characters: individuals who attempted to unalive~ US Presidents.

Tim Burton is so underrated. He's rarely mentioned as one of the most stylish and influential directors in this generation. My personal ranking of his filmography is: 1. Edward Scissorhands 2. Batman and Batman Returns 3. Sweeney Todd 4. Big Fish 5. Sleepy Hollow 6. Corpse Bride 7. Nightmare Before Christmas 8. Big Eyes 9. Planet of the Apes 10. Beetlejuice 11. Alice in Wonderland 12. Ed Wood 13. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 14. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children 15. Dark Shadows 16. Frankenweenie

Watch the original stage show 1982. Angela Lansbury is AMAZING as Mrs. Lovett. 😍

I recommend Phantom of the Opera for another good musical, or Repo.

Helena Bonham Carter was actually pregnant throughout the filming of this movie and it is noticeable by the changing size of her erm...."meat pies".

Little Shop of Horrors is a good one from back in the day. Also Robin Williams stars in Popeye which is a music based on the cartoon.

ItsAPrimate, the actor playing Anthony is Jamie Campbell Bower, and maybe you recognize him from Stranger Things season 4.

You havent reacted to a musical in a while I suggest Cabaret or Mel Brooks' The Producers i personally prefer the 2005 musical version w nathan lane

If you could watch Chicago, I'd be happy. It's very....entertaining lol I would think you might enjoy the story but I'm not sure

You may be interested in another dark comedy/horror musical, "Little Shop of Horrors". I was 6 when it came out, so I grew up on it -- much more nostalgic for me than any Disney movie, or even Don Bluth movie.

itsaprimate I'm a fan now of ur react videos especially GoT, well can u please react to the TV series called LOST please it's an amazing tv all the way, full of mysteries, weird stuff n amazing performances please 🙏

After finding out that Jack The Ripper was actually most likely a barber, my headcanon is that Toby takes over the barber shop after the end of the movie and becomes Jack.

Ah yes. The beautiful times before Amber Heard's career. Although, it would've also been amazing if she played a role of someone getting a shave. 😉 🤣

Huh huh huh that thumbnail!! 😆 now I'm hyped to see you watch this. It's a fantastic trip. And Johnny and Helena are superb!

Thanks, Primate! 💈 There are some great musicals out there. I'm glad you're enjoying them.

His wife took poison but although it didn't kill her, it ruined her mind. She was a madwoman from it and the sexual assault.

Why the pity for Beadle Bamford's death? He helped put Benjamin away and set up the wife to be taken advantage of?

The Judges helper is Peter Padagrue. As messed up as this movie is it definitely is in my top 5 Tim Burton movies

Anthony plays a voltori from twilight as well as vechna from stranger things.

You have gotta watch the 2004 version of Phantom of the opera!!! It’s so amazing and it’s a rock opera

watch Dancer in the Dark. Bjork and Thom Yorke. and so emotional.

"horror musical comedy, dark comedy" me: "where the hell is all the comedy-"

The style of this reminds me of hammer horror film. Where the color correction is so dole that the film is almost black and white. However the red is over saturated that the blood or other red this stick out

You should watch the producers (2005)

Can you watch the cars series it won't disappoint and you haven't done Disney in a while

The kid is in the new season of Stranger Things! Just realized lol

This is probably the usual response to Anthony busting in: 15:28

Adolfo Pirelli is Sacha Baron Cohen!

I just realized the little blond boy who sells hair growth elixir is the same actor who plays Jojen in Game of Thrones!!

Fastest like I've clicked in a while!

If you don't mind musicals with dualogue in between, please check out Across the Universe. It's a highly underrated movie based on the music of The Beatles. It's pure magic. Visually, Audibly, and Everything.

I HAVE THOSE SAME GLASSES! SAME GLASSES? SAME FAVORITE JOHNNY DEPP MOVIE? ARE WE VIBING?

I love this movie. JD & HBC!

18:31 seth rogen that u?

The dark colors of the film sets the tone of a dark ghost like theme. This is how Sweeney Todd is feeling internally.

Hilarious how you said "his little rat so to speak" since he plays wormtail in Harry Potter who can transform into a rat 🤣 Have to say one of the best trio's to act together Johnny Depp, Alan Rickman (RIP)❤ and Helen Bonham Carter Loved your reaction!! If you did choose another musical to react too I would suggest Phantom of the Opera

Amazing movie!

I love this musical so much, although my favourite musical of all time is Phantom of the Opera and I would recommend the Gerard Butler, Emmy Rossum, Patrick Wilson 2004 film of it.

Depp was AWFUL as Sweeney. The show is a black comedy and he only played Sweeney as dark, angry, brooding, and sinister. While Sweeney is all those things but what Depp totally left out was Sweeney's HUMOR. Even WORSE was Bonham-Carter as Mrs. Lovett. She was all-psycho and none of her amazing humor or her joie de vivre. Both leads were flat, one-note characters and boring. You want the REAL Sweeney Todd? Watch Angela Lansbury and George Hearn. THAT'S how you play Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett.

awesome we are doing sweeney todd love this movie i even got a replica of one of the razers my friends is my fav song from this movie but i love the whole sound track

Thanks primate! I wrote the movie and asked that Stephen Sondheim be given credit for being such an inspiration and being so great. Your reaction was a blessing that I am grateful for 💓

So glad you enjoyed this! Im sure they exist but I don't think Ive ever heard of anyone who didn't like this movie, including people I know personally. You should check out Moulin Rouge and Across The Universe. I think you'd enjoy those as well.

You should react to "The Sound of Music"! It's the best mix ever of regular acting and songs, beautiful songs! And really... just one of the best movies ever! Based on a true story. With Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.
