It did bother me a little about Depp's vampire character killing innocent people. He wasn't the hero, a bit of an anti-hero, but as I recall, not entirely the main character either. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was sort of expecting a tongue-in-cheek antihero vampire. It was hit and miss for me. I don't even remember the ending mostly because it was so weird to me, I think I was losing track of what happening at the end.

Yeah and also he didn't seem to enjoy killing people and he would even apologize to the human victims before draining their blood like when he said "You can't imagine how thirsty I am!". But still...
He definetly was an antihero, but I liked Depp as Sweeney Todd better. Actually Todd wasn't so much an antihero as he was a villainous protagonist. Same with Ms. Lovett. They were both obviously evil and yet Todd was a sympathetic villain who had a terrible thing done to him and Ms. Lovett was a quirky sociopath but had a softspot for both Mr. Todd and Toby.
They were such interesting and complex characters.
Ms. Lovett was my favorite. I think that was Helena Bonham Carter's best role.
