Director Tim Burton seemed like the perfect choice to take up the task of recreating Lewis Carrol's Alice In Wonderland for the silver screen. Unfortunately he sets us up for a colossal disappointment.
The highlights of this film are, surprise surprise, the colorful visuals and Danny Elfman's quirky music. Mia Wasikowska holds her own very well against the wonderfully crazed performances from Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter. The problem here is the boring story, and lack of emotional character development. By the end of the film, I couldn't help but feel this was one big pointless spectacle.

I still haven't watched this. No Burton style opening credits is disappointing.
