Hated it, mostly.
Hated the cinematography, the overuse of fish-eye and wide angle lenses gave me headaches.
Hated the score, way too dark and strident, it's not like the first act wasn't dark enough being all B&W and, well, gory.
Not sure at the beginning if the film was directed by Tim Burton, then by Wes Anderson, turns out it's that Greek guy who I'd never heard of until I recently saw one of his films, which I also didn't like.
Thought Mark Ruffalo was miscast in his role, accent was all over the place and he couldn't quite nail the hysterical comedy type scenes. Might be cliche, but I think Johnny Depp would have been perfect here.
Great performances however from Emma Stone and especially Willem Defoe, who should be awarded for it IMHO.
