Good, but not quite what you're expecting.

Rating: 6/10 (23 March 2010)

Alice in Wonderland has a good storyline though not great. The creatures in the movie are poorly animated. With the budget it was given you would think the CGI creatures would have more texture. Johnny Depp can flat out act. This is one of those movies where this is not the case. The Mad Hatter character in this movies seems almost useless at times as if Tim Burton tried to force more screen time for Depp. It just seems as if you are seeing Jack Sparrow with orange hair. Helen Bonham Carter steals the show in this movie and thats not saying a whole lot. It appears as if there was too much thought put into the movie instead of letting the story flow, it was stopped to see if they could add more to it. I am very disappointed that Mr.Burton decided to film in 2D then convert it to 3D post production because he felt the 3D cameras were bulky. This movie had so much potential to be a true visual masterpiece. None of this is a knock on Tim Burton as he is one of my favorites. His movies are normally astounding. Alice In Wonderland just does not fit the bill.
