It was good enough for me.
I will always admire Tim Burton's style of direction.

I thank my voice teacher almost 2 years ago for introducing me to 'Not While I'm Around'. The song made me dig more information on the musical by the amazing Stephen Sondheim.

I wanted to hear 'The Ballad of Sweeney Todd', 'Ah Miss', 'Kiss Me' and 'Johanna (Turpin). But I guess putting these songs in the film would lengthen it and will have the possibility to bore people.

I was fine with the squirting blood thing. It was very 'Sleepy Hollow', another Burton masterpiece. I think the bloody scenes are tolerable unless you really hate the sight of blood/fake blood.

I think the main problem for me was I was 'too' prepared for the film. I already knew beforehand what would happen. I was not surprised. But I am still impressed with the film even though few scenes were not added.
