I just returned from Hollywood where I saw this at the Arclight Cinema on Sunset.
They had a special showing where it's only 21 or over and drinking is allowed in the theater (from their bar of course.) Seating is assigned, ushers are present and the audience was well behaved, all for only a few dollars more than a regular theater.
The movie was great, a little slow to get going but dark in the extreme, Tim Burton didn't hold back on the gore at all, throats are slashed and blood flows in rivers, this is one of the few movies I've seen that actually shocked the audience.
All the actors were top notch, the music was only so-so but there were some songs that were pretty good.
Recommended if you don't mind the gore and violence.
