It's official: The Burton/Depp money making machine has broken!

Rating: 3/10 (11 March 2010)

Once upon a time, Tim Burton could do no wrong with his quirky, Gothic styled, Jonny Depp led (usually) films.
Sometimes, a winning formula should know when to quit before it goes stale.
*short summary* - Alice falls down a rabbit hole and finds herself in a place much like the dreams she used to have. The inhabitants of the so called "Underland" have been expecting Alice, as it was foretold that she would overthrow the evil red queen by defeating the Jaberwocky.
The problem with this? It had no soul. It was almost as if Burton was going through the motions. "moody sequence here, tragic young porcelain girl looks forlorn there, cue Jonny Depp being weird." I was incredibly bored with everything going on. It did not hold me one bit.
Depp was poor. he tried this strange split personality thing with him half speaking in a Scottish accent, but it just didn't work at all. It was very confusing, and not in the "but it is supposed to be" way. Depp needs to think "inside the box" for his next role. It's getting tiresome. I thought he was bad as Willy Wonka! The tweedles were underused, and the respective queens were both annoying. I'd rather none of them be in charge! Good points? It looks quite nice. there are some laughs, although not nearly enough! Alice is quite a good actress in the making i guess.
Wait for the DVD, and if you've ever seen a 3D movie, this adds nothing new.
This is a Disney money maker I'm afraid. nothing new to see. Watch Edward Scissorhands to remember what these guys could achieve once!
