Mediocre at best, the only real highlight was the Alice Cooper cameo.

Rating: 5/10 (13 May 2012)

I remember when Tim Burton used to be a respected filmmaker. Specially women seem to always be Crazy for his work. And I do agree that he has a unique style and he has made many good movies like: Beatlejuice, Batman, Nightmare before Christmas etc...
But when he made Alice in Wonderland things had changed. Everything was a mess and I just ended up not caring about any of the characters. This movie is exactly the same, first half was alright. At first when I met all the characters I thought that it could be really interesting. Sadly i was wrong.
Even with Johnny Depp in the main role and a lot of other good supporting actors things just fall flat. Pointless side stories, a boring love story and some really cheesy dialog. Like when Carolyn jumps down as a Werewolf and say something like "yeah I'm a Werewolf, big deal". At that moment I cringed in my seat and felt embarrassed that i was watching this. I also don't really understand who this movie is made for. Tim Burton is normally really popular among the women. But in many ways he made it more to please the men. I mean a large part of the movie seems to be about Women being eye candy for the camera. Even the 15 year old Carolyn poses as if she has somehow mixed up acting with modeling.
But lets name a few positive things: Well it's a Tim Burton movie so it has a kinda cool gothic/70s feel to it. Depp is alright and pull off some funny jokes. It has some good 70s music. The main reason I'm giving this movie a 5 is because of one person. Alice Cooper...The moment he started preforming i was having a blast. Sadly thats not enough to salvage rest of the movie.
Lets just hope Tim Burton has learned something from his latest mistakes.
