I didn't get into this, but I think that's more because I'm not a Burton fan. I've seen other Sweeney interpretations (I even got to see a Sweeney live performance once) and I think that Depp did a good job here, but I think they could have done better overall.

I think Burton's problem is that no one is willing to tell him "no" or otherwise correct him when it comes to story, scene and setting. A lot of big name directors have this problem these days, and what with no one to point out they need to change or re-do something so that it's their best work, we end up with a lot of less-than-optimal things.
