Am I the Only one who disliked Anthony in the Sweeney Todd Movie? — Page 2

I found him attractive.

---

I wasn't crazy about him either, nor were two of my friends that saw it with me. I think one of the problems was the fact that the relationship between Johanna and Anthony was underdeveloped. In the movie, I felt that Johanna really had no interest in Anthony, or having a happy life with him, she was just using him as a means to escape. And since "Kiss Me" was cut, we don't even see a lot of interaction between the two, giving a stronger impression that Anthony is infatuated with someone he knows next to nothing about.

heh, During the "Johanna" quartet, my friend leaned over and wispered to me, "He's so creepy!" I replied to "well, he's not SUPPOSED to, but yeah..." She responded with, "His eyes are so creepy!"

Add me to the list of folks who thought he was wrong in the role, took me completely out of every scene he was in, looked more like a gay anorexic underwear model than someon pining away for a girl. Then again, I also agree with those who say Anthony & Johanna were merely sideline players in this film and their roles should have been beefed up (and Anthony recast.) Other than that (and that is a BIG THAT) - I enjoyed Tim Burton's film...but give me the Hal Prince (or even John Doyle) production over this movie any day of the week.
