Please, Sir, may I have a refund?

Rating: 4/10 (8 March 2010)

First off, I'd just like to state that I am in no way a Tim Burton fan. I think his work is over-rated, and if there was anyone who adheres to the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" rule, it's him. To me, all of his films look EXACTLY the same.
So, now that you know this review is from someone who went in not expecting anything good, you may not be surprised to discover .... I really did not like it. Having said that, I did go with someone who IS a Tim Burton fan, and had high expectations. They came out and said they felt left down and very disappointed ... I just came out swearing.
It wasn't just Burton's style that put me off this film; there seemed to be no fluidity to the story, the characters were not really as fleshed out as they could have been and seemed to rely on the audience's prior knowledge of the story.
Then there's the CGI - For the most part it was impressive, and some of it, despite it holding the stamp of Burton, was quite nice to look at, however at times, especially in the case of Stayne, it was really poorly done.
All-in-all, if you're a massive Tim Burton fan, or a huge fan of the Wonderland books, you may enjoy it, you may even love it, but if you're just a casual viewer, I think you may well be disappointed.
