Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd
Tim Burton's movies usually stink. You tend to come away from them feeling cheated. How can someone make the Legend of Sleepy Hollow un-frightening? Ask Tim Burton, he managed it.
So I'm dubious about Tim Burton's adaptation of Sweeney Todd. It will probably suck, but Depp could make it worth seeing. Maybe.
But here, look for yourself. This is a clip from the 1982 production starring George Hearn and Angela Lansbury, followed by the trailer for Burton's Sweeney. Think Depp can seethe and shout like Hearn? I doubt it. Look at Hearn's hair. Psychopath hair doesn't get any better than that. Depp's hair make him look like a shorter Cruella Deville.
