I thought it was ok, too, i saw it on friday early. Overall its an interesting story, i had never seen the story before. Definitely very graphic, which i think could have been lightened some, not the need to see such open violence. Being a fan of a lot of Burton's movies, this one came up on the lower end, it didnt do much for me as far as entertainment or lasting appeal. So although it does have a interesting story, and there is some neat execution of the scenery and plots, i left kinda feeling a void, and glad to be getting out of the theater. Its a fairly long movie, also, so the development took a good while and ended with many things happening at once.
