Tim Burton...off with his head!!

Rating: 2/10 (10 March 2010)

Great acting, great visuals, great cast. Unfortunately thats it! This movie was so Disney-fied & it wasn't even thought provoking. It has no hint of darkness or chilling imagery, exactly what you would expect from an Alice film & much more a Tim Burton Alice film. Burton had such great potential for a great Alice flick, but he fails miserably here with a predictable 'girl power' plot, lame fight scenes & too much mad hatter. Sorry Tim but peppering a bad story with cool characters is not gonna make a good movie. & the mad hatter & Alice are allies!! How stupid is that! The jabberwocky fight scene was super lame. He didn't even put up a fight, & he wasn't scary looking at all & he was easily defeated. This movie was bright & cheery, not dark at all. How dare Tim Burton mess with such a classic. This movie should have been called Alice returns to Wonderland or better yet, The Adventures of Alice & the Hatter. This movie is a combination of both Lewis Carrol books & doesn't even include the disturbing walrus and the carpenter story & is more of a sequel of sorts. This movie is truly disappointing, you're better off renting it.
