You could always try for a matinee show. That's what I did for this. It was still 8 bucks, which royally pissed me off, but I dealt. I went with a friend and there were only maybe 5 other people in the theatre.
The movie was enjoyable. I wouldn't say it was a favorite. The music was interesting. I liked how physically dark everything was. It goes with the mood of the movie. There is so much grey and black and a complete lack of color, like the lack of happiness in Sweeny Todd's life. The costume as well were phenomenal. I think I was more into the art aspects of the movie than the actual plot.
The acting is well done. I really don't follow Depp's work. The last movie I loved him in was Edward Scissorhands. But I do love what he does when he works with Tim Burton.
If you don't want to spend a lot of money, then I do suggest waiting for this on DVD. I mean the theatre setting might be nice and all but I don't think it's necessary for a film like this.
