This movie is terrible!

Rating: 2/10 (20 March 2010)

Tim Burton has gone insane! If Lewis Carrol was watching this from whichever afterlife, he would haunt Tim Burton forever! Instead of remaking the original book or even following the same unconnected narrative, Burton decides to tie Alice in Wonderland together with some horribly clichéd Hollywood script. The only time this film works is when the narrative abandons the main story and abandons focusing on Burton's prized possession, Johnny Depp; instead giving the "minor characters" some screen-time. However, this happens so infrequently that it's like someone is drowning you in a scummy pond only to momentarily let you resurface for some fresh air every half an hour. By the end you're either dead or, congratulations, you can hold your breath for a very long amount of time. On the other hand, the performance by Stephen Fry and Matt Lucas are amazingly well done and the special effects are astounding. My main complaint is Mr. Burton and to some extent Johnny Depp.
