Jim said on Thursday, May 13, 2010 7:00:05 PM I actually expected a darker and more twisted film from Tim Burton. The movie is visually stunning like you'd expect and performances are all very good. I liked the movie, but an A ? An action sequence wasn't needed and as an Alice in Wonderland film, it's just disappointing. The plot wasn't that good either. Earlier this year I saw Alice in Sci-Fi channel, which also had Alice teaming with the Mad Hatter to face the evil Queen. The Mad Hatter as the heroic type didn't work in that movie and it didn't work here either. B-: If it was darker and twisted and stuck to the original story, I might have liked it more.

joe said on Tuesday, March 23, 2010 1:31:27 PM I actually thought the potential was there, but outside of the "tim burton wheelhouse" themes, like the design and a couple of the characters, (the cheshire cat), the movie was absolutely nothing I haven't already seen. In many parts it began to resemble the first Chronicles of Narnia movie, and the last 30 minutes of it felt just like that. With this story and this director I would have wanted a bit more. This was borderline forgettable for me.
