Alice in Wonderland

Now I never seen the original, but i did know about a mad hatter, a cat that smiles and a random rabbit.

So for me, with little expectations... it still didn't match up to the hype.

Great visual effects, and classic Tim Burton weirdness. Johnny Depp being in the film wasn't a surprise, since he and Burton seem to get on well with films like Sleepy Hollow, corpse bride, the more recent sweeney todd and even Charlie and the chocolate factory-which I feel Depp was harshly dealt with by critics who said his character in this was very similar to Willy wonka-when it really wasn't-just his randomness and weirdness.

The storyline just didn't capture me and it felt really slow throughout.

The plus side was I got to spend time with the wife.... and the vague idea I had of the rabbit, the mad hatter and cat was now something I had some sort of idea of.

If you have kids, it could be a good one with the 3d and all that.
