Disappointing!

Rating: 6/10 (12 July 2011)

I've always been a fan of Tim Burton's so I was really looking forward to this movie. In the end I was disappointed.
What I liked: The special effects were amazing! The acting is good all around. The score is nice.
What I didn't like: The lack of action, it could have been so much better with more creature's. The lack of direction, Alice didn't seem to know What she was doing at all.
In the end it's done beautifully but it's just so slow and boring that it's hard to really like.
Johnny Depp isn't anywhere near as amazing an actor as he was ten years ago. Helena Bonham Carter is a good actress but she wasn't given much here. Anne Hathaway does good with what she's given but thats not much. Mia Wasikowska does good but it seems like she isn't given any direction at all. Crispin Glover does good but he doesn't have much of a character. All of the voice overs stole the show. Like Alan Rickman, Michael Sheen, Stephen Fry, and Christopher Lee.
If you love fantasy give it a shot.
