It's a Sondheim musical. It's expected. I thought it was brilliant, although it could have done without the love story between the teens. That was boring.
StMonkey:
But..but that's an important part of the story. That's nearly akin to saying 'I think Phantom of the Opera would've done better without that whiny Raoul dude.' She's Todd's daughter and if the boy didn't barge in at precisely the wrong moment, Todd would've killed Turpin before he decided he was gonna kill everyone.

I SO wish they had an epilogue. Its not really a complaint, I respect Tim Burton's decision. But still, that ending was WAY too abrupt.

That movie was directed by Terry Gilliam, who is another fantastic director.
And no offense, but if you don't like something just because Hot Topic mall rats idolize it, get over it. I still like Tom Burton's work even though I saw some mall-goth teen girl hug a Nightmare Before Christmas t-shirt while saying, "Tim Burton is a GOD."

I always wonder whether those children realise that Tim Burton designed the characters and funded the film but that's all. Rick Heinrichs directed it so I'm not sure that Burton deserves all the credit that he gets for that film.

I just saw this today. I have to say, I was a bit disappointed. Maybe I was just so excited and expecting to love it and set too high expectations. But I thought at some points it moved a bit slowly and it didn't leave me wondering anything in a way that wasn't annoying.
But I did like it. The acting was great, and I just love Tim Burton's visual style. Some of the musical numbers are awesome. My favorite was the one where they realize how they can make meat pies with the bodies, and they go through all the "flavors" (judge, poet, priest, etc).
The ending was weird. I'm not sure if it was sad or annoying.
