Good... but we've seen better!

Rating: 7/10 (5 March 2010)

I can understand the negative - or not so enthusiastic let's say - comments here on IMDb, because it's really exciting in the first glance; Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, H.B. Carter, Alice in Wonderland (the ultimate psychedelic story made for Burton!), Anne Hathaway. The mixture would be a rapture. And I run to the cinema the first day Alice began.
The result? Well... "ummm"...!!
Johnny Depp: We've seen better JD-characters just in same vein. Willy Wonka will be my all time favorite it seems!
Alice: She's OK, but we've seen better young lady heroes. Lyra in Golden Compass for example.
Anne Hathaway: She plays definitely the worst character in the movie. If "light side" is like that, Darth Vader can take the world. But although her character is annoyingly stupid, she's still charming & elegant.
H.B. Carter: Good but we've seen better villain queens. And one thing about HB Carter, she was sooo good in Fight Club that every time I see her I remember that movie. Is it good or bad, I don't know. Didn't same thing happen to Leonard Nimoy anyway?
Tim Burton: Let's be honest, we've seen much better TB movies (well we've seen worse too, but luckily I definitely forgot about these apes). This looks like a collage of old-movies in fact. Maybe that's what the problem is - we haven't been surprised like before. OK, we modern viewers can really be a pain in the a**, we can not be surprised or impressed easily like before. But blame The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Revenge of the Sith or Avatar for that!
Blue Caterpillar: Ah, greatest moments in the movie. How can a single-voice take a movie to another realm?
As a result, even we may have seen better examples still this is fun to watch. Catch it 3D if you can!
