Vapid.. even according to a very low "Tim Burton" standard

Rating: 1/10 (30 May 2010)

This was destined to be bad because Alice in Wonderand is unfilmable. Lewis Carroll had the attention span of a hummingbird. The book is non-linear and geared for the easily distracted. It needed to be rewritten to film it, but this? This is a crummy, extraordinarily feeble, go-nowhere, girl-power lecture that would have been pitiful & laughable 30 years ago. Anyone who gave this a high rating, has a very thin cliché index. The script is rotten. The story is barely fleshed out beyond the schematic. The pacing is glacial. The acting is a joke. Anne Hathaway is totally lost. She reaches 'high-school play' level acting and no more (ditto for Crispin Glover). Depp just adds one more affected freak to his resume.
Tim Burton wouldn't know a finished script if it bit him on the a.ss. This is the absolute worst film he's made in his long, bad career, and that's really saying something. I wish Carter and Burton would depart Hollywood and go live in a toy castle or a dollhouse somewhere to spare us any more of this junk.
