Musicals are, by their very nature, totally absurd. They are, as a genre, pure, unadulterated cinematic abominations.
Imagine for a moment a "Saving Private Ryan", where the soldiers storming Omaha beach all take turns singing their innermost thoughts to no-one in particular as they are valiantly slaughtered en-masse.
Imagine "The Godfather" or "Schindler's List" or "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" as operatic extravaganzas.
You get the idea; nothing can ruin ANY movie faster than turning it into a musical. "Seeney Todd" takes this fundamental truth to an entirely new level.
It's impossible for any rational mind to even begin to imagine what Tim Burton must have envisioned the end result would be as he developed this vile piece of putrescence. Whatever he hoped this film might accomplish, it fails completely and totally on every conceivable level.
This film does not have a single redeeming quality that I can see. Not the story itself, definitely not the singing or the songs, and certainly not the acting...it succeeds at nothing.
Some movies are merely a waste of time, but not this one; this one is a "criminal" waste of time. I not only regretted having wasted the time it took to watch this insufferable trash -- I actually wished afterwards (with all my heart) that I had never, ever seen this movie at all.
This movie easily deserves it's place at the very top of my personal list of "The Worst Movies Of All Time".
This film proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Tim Burton really needs to retire from film-making - NOW. He's obviously totally tapped-out his pathetically limited supply of ideas and has apparently resigned himself to desperately scraping the very bottom of the barrel (right down to the wood) for a living now, as evidenced by this utterly worthless and disgusting bomb.
Do yourself a HUGE favor and just avoid this fecal nugget like the plague. I sincerely wish I had...

Wow. Great flick!
Besides being an admitted movie addict, I'm also a retired professional soldier and a combat veteran who's served in multiple theaters of conflict.
I usually find myself quietly disappointed with war movies in general, and their vain, highly stylized, cliché-laden attempts to realistically portray infantry warfare, and high-intensity warfare's effects on soldiers. Film-makers invariably seem to fall far short in their attempts to capture the essence of what war can be (or was) like, and what exposure to it can do to the people involved, both mentally and physically.
To his great credit, I think that in Passchendaele Paul Gross seems to have actually managed to capture a reasonably authentic glimpse into both the nature of such hellish environments and the men caught up in them.
The acting was superb. The performances were so convincing that the notion that I was just sitting watching a movie didn't even occur to me until the credits began to roll by, I was so totally engrossed.
This film was easily one of the best that I've seen in quite some time.
I'll definitely be keeping my eyes open for any future films by Paul Gross. Passchendaele stands as an extremely impressive testimonial to his obvious talents.
