Another good film from Tim Burton

Rating: 8/10 (15 March 2010)

I saw this movie about a week ago. It was actually a last minute decision, and I was a little bit worried about whether or not I would enjoy it. Tim Burton either makes a *really* good movie (like "Mars Attacks") or a *really* bad movie (like "Planet of the Apes").
However, this movie rocked! I thought it would be way too dark, but the story has a perfect balance of creepy and cool. The effects are great but not overwhelming, the acting is superb and the music is beautiful. Johnny Depp was really good as the the Mad Hatter. Before, I was wondering if his performance was going to be like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Luckily, that horror did not occur here at all!
My favorite part is when the Red Queen screams, "He tried to kill me!" at the ending, to her #1 Henchman/Boyfriend (I forget his name).
Although it's really different from the animated 1950 something cartoon, this is easily another classic. I'll be happily waiting for the DVD release, so that I can add it to my shelf! If you want to have a wonderful time, go and see "Alice in Wonderland" (pun intended).
