More for kids than adults

Rating: 7/10 (15 March 2010)

This was an OK movie. I wish Tim Burton would make a good movie because after all, he is very morbid. However, this movie plays out more like a kids movie than anything. Gone are the days of Beatlejuice and the like. I like the part of this movie where there were special effects. In otherwords, most of the entire movie. I hated the way the white queen moved around gracefully and I hated the cards who looked like Cylons. I did like Tweetle Dee and tweetle Dumb because they looked so expressive. I liked the way the queen had a big head and that one scene where the Catapillar blows pipe smoke was funny. I didn't think Johnny Depp's character was dark enough. There were a few scenes where his voice changed but there was really no violence. I mean, that queen yelled OFF WITH THEIR HEAD over 10 times but I never saw any blood.
