Would you buy Sweeney Todd on Blu-ray? - Blu-ray Forum

mustangfun101 · 04-02-2008, 01:31 AM

I just got done watching Sweeney Todd on DVD and maybe it is just me but it was alot more musical then I thought it would be. I know it was a musical but this isn't what I expected at all. The storyline was perfect for Tim Burton and Johnny Depp with the blood and gore side but I won't be buying this on blu-ray. Will you buy it when it finally comes out on blu-ray?

Can you believe all the make-up Johnny Depp was wearing? He has got to be a drag queen in real life.

I will NOT buy this movie because it is only on an oldray DVD. Eeeuuuuw.

Sweeney Todd is my hero.

not without seeing it first.. I like Depp, but I'm not that into musicals..
that doesn't mean I won't like it.. but certainly wouldn't part ways with $25 - $30 as a blind buy on it.

I'd get it, I haven't bought a movie in a few weeks....

BStecke · 04-02-2008, 01:35 AM

I haven't seen it but I'd probably pick it up. I generally like musicals and you rarely go wrong with Johnny Depp.

KBZ · 04-02-2008, 01:37 AM

I liked it, and would buy it.

Cyan · 04-02-2008, 01:41 AM

I bought it on DVD today and will, admittedly with some irritation, buy it again on BR when Dreamworks gets around to releasing it.

Kaldaim · 04-02-2008, 01:45 AM

I'm holding off on buying it until it's released on BD

iNCREDiPiNOY · 04-02-2008, 01:46 AM

I'm picking up the Steelbook tomorrow morning.

blurayboy · 04-02-2008, 01:46 AM

Yes I will definitely buy this on Blu-ray but have absolutely no intention on buying this on standard DVD because it would be a waste of money in my opinion. I can wait for the Blu-ray version.

I agree with this quote, but it would be wrong in this case. I rented it on DVD when it came out - absolutely hated it - won't be buying it in any form new or used. Horrible musical and Deep's talents largely wasted in this movie.

Both him and Helena Boham Carter, lots of makeup....by the way, she is perfect for Tim Burton. Creepy.

j_rocca42 · 04-02-2008, 01:47 AM

yes

Blu Titan · 04-02-2008, 01:48 AM

I would NOT buy that movie for $1.

I'm glad I created a non-April fools day thread that could cause some conversation. I'm I glad April 1 is over with.

dahoover · 04-02-2008, 01:51 AM

Yeah, I really liked this movie. Johnny Depp was great in it.

And to think, I am not a fan of musicals at all.

quaylie · 04-02-2008, 01:54 AM

awesome movie and want to buy it..but waiting for it on BD..Paramount..you listening?

SilverFireshot · 04-02-2008, 01:57 AM

This movie would look fantastic on Blu. My wife loves the movie so she had to get it on DVD today. But she was complaining how it looked compared to the Blu-ray's. I converted her!

Btw, I just noticed you were from Boise too. Don't find many spudders on the net.
