One of Burton's weakest

Rating: 1/10 (14 January 2014)

Getting Burton to direct this seemed like a good idea at the time, but his vision of Alice doesn't work.
He said that he hated the 1951 animated film, and you can't do a follow up to something you dislike.
Making this film a sort of sequel also confused audiences. Granted Burton wanted it to be that way, due to the amount of hate remakes get. So they decided to go the sequel road.
Everything is dull and grey, the typical Burton look. And everything is all CGI, which looks really fake. Burton explained his hatred for CGI and green screen on the Corpse Bride DVD. And what did he do on this film?
Johnny Depp was the typical weirdo he always plays. Also he character switches between an English accent and a Scottish one. I know it was to add to the madness of the character, but its just so distracting.
Also, there is a scene where Alice drinks pee.
Yeah, when the White Queen (Anne Hathaway doing ANOTHER fairy tale movie!) is making a drink to make Alice bigger (or smaller, I can't remember), she spits in it and pours pee in it. And Alice drinks it.
Yeah, Lewis Carol would be proud. When did this turn into the Farrelly Bros' version of Alice?
Now there were a few things I liked such as Mia as Alice. She's quite sexy. Those sexy shoulders. I think that's the reason why Alice is 19 in this. They wanted a more older, sexier Alice.
It was also really cool to see Alice be a bad ass, although how did she learn how to fight?
I've seen every Burton film, and I have to say this, Planet Of The Apes and Dark Shadows are the weakest of his filmography.
I didn't like the remake of Frankenweenie either.
