Counted the jumpscares in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Lost count. Lost interest. Refunded the popcorn emotionally.
“Certified chaotic energy.”

Hot Take: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street actually is?
Director clearly thought Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street?
Honestly, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

The cinematography in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Look, I wanted to love Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
