Hi McNair :)
I did NOT like Sweeny Tood at first because I did not even realize that it was a musical. I think they way overdid it on the singing. Had it not been for the bright scenes mid-way as you describe-I probably would have left the movie. When it was over, I did leave the theater bothered, but not able to put my finger upon: "why?"...
Then after reading your review at HollywoodJesus.com, you filled in the "why?". The reason for my irritation at the movie was, as you said, surely "they" knew the movie would attract Jonny Depp worshipers-as in, teenage girls. That is what bothered me!

I found the Water Horse to be a delight. I was surprised at the choreography! so bold and so beautiful! The colors were outstanding in the setting. And a sweet surprise that I did enjoy, was experiencing a "bad guy" turn, "good guy" and help save the day. I love that. Something we sure need more of in this old world.

Hugs and best wishes,
Soni in AZ
