I've seen the stage production about a dozen times, which is what the Burton version appears to be based on. Which means it's not really very fleshed out, plus from the previews the singing doesn't appear to be up to par. So then, what's the point?
I think if you are looking for a greater depth into the story aspects of the Sweeney Todd tale, there are several other straight (non musical) film adaptations. There was a great version released in 2006 that is really good. Blockbuster should have it. It's simply titled Sweeney Todd (no 'Demon Barber of Fleet Street sub-heading) and was a UK production.
