Just remember it's a Horror Musical, an odd genre to say the least, but somehow Tim Burton as director and Johnny Depp made it work. Plus, Depp has a surprisingly good tenor voice and I have a weakness for musicals. FYI in my opinion the R-rating should be a hard rating, not just for the violence, but for the moral ambiguity of most of the characters. They had to change several seconds of the deaths at the end of the film to keep the R-rating for the US release, it was at risk of NR due to the very graphic nature of violence, which BTW is necessary for the plot. It is an appalling violent movie, which it has to be to work.
You wouldn't think it because as a musical it has all the melodrama inherent to the genre, but the really evil character is not obvious at first, and if you are not familiar with the plot, a genuine surprise. It's not hard to figure out, but at least for me it was an at first "Am I getting this?" which transitioned to "Damn, instead of clubbing me over the head with the script and voice over, they developed it via acting and context." It's still definitely a horror movie, and the ending is tragic in exactly the way it needs to be for the story line. But early on it's obvious it cannot stay true to the excellent script, and not end badly for many of the characters.
Either way, great deal!
