By "no thanks," you mean you don't like it? Or that you refuse to watch it until you can see the film in its entirety?
Personally, I'm still laughing from it.

And to stick with the trend of breaking the law, here is the Prologue scene for the film, in which the parents are you-know-what when the son does such-and-such. The nudity shots have been removed.

Yeah, I can tell that you aren't going to be one to like this movie if you ever do get around to seeing it.
And yeah, while the shots are some of the most gorgeous black-and-white that I have seen this year, it did feel almost too operatic. But perhaps that is the better way to go in this film. Had they had an initial scene of dialogue, then necking, and then the kid falling out of the window screaming, I don't know that it would be nearly as compelling.
I actually want to see this film. I would have to leave before the third act though (sadism is not something that even interests me in the least), and I hate missing endings of movies.

Those who are swearing off this film are just showing narrow-mindedness. You will be missing out on a work of art, a messy, unpredictable and perplexing work of art but a work of art nonetheless. I don't love everything von Trier does, but he is one of the world's most important filmmakers right now and in my opinion those that write this one off thanks to some idea of what it is or will be are not true film lovers.
