Mad Hatter is kinda too weird, I don't know... But I'm optimistic.
A pity a 3D presentation in my town is very rare (Ice Age 3 was the first in years). I guess I'll have to see it the conventional way. :/

This looks pretty good. I actually look forward to this very much.
However, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are becoming somewhat generic. I hope they both take a new direction after this movie. Something that thrives are the strange, weird and bizarre shouldn't become predictable and redundant.
But I don't mean that as a complaint. Yet anyways. It's just been too many films (mostly great though~) with similar themes.

This looks good. I love Burton's movies so most likely I'll enjoy this one too

I love the Burton+Depp combo. They never get old, no matter what the Internets say. :3

I'm really looking forward to this, but I'm also hoping the rumor about Marylin Manson doing a film version of American McGee's Alice is true.

It looks very good but I´m still on the fence regarding Alice, she looks a bit old to me. In my head, Alice is like 11 years old.

I think in this movie, Alice is returning to 'Wonderland'. She's supposed to be 19 or something like that.

This is like a sequel to the books, many years later. I think Alice is 17. Or 19. Whatever. I was mistaken in my last post. Our movie theater have normal digital 3D sessions now. I could see Avatar in 3D. Yay. This topic reminds me... I need to read/watch Alice in Wonderland. I've never read the books or seen the Disney movie. Geez... What a childhood. :\

Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are becoming somewhat generic. Agreed. The two of them have settled into the niche that gave them their noteriety, and it's starting to have, the way I see it, some wear on their work. Having seen the film, it's difficult to come up with any other way to put it. Burton slathers on "this is weird, look!" and Depp, "I'm weird, look!". It doesn't sit well with me at all, and, more than once in the movie, it came off as getting in the way of telling the story in a comprehensive fashion. Some could say that it's there to build upon the atmosphere of it all.. I'd say no, no it does not. Ignoring Burton's overuse of CGI (I -hate- CGI), how about Depp's portrayel of his character? It's like nobody was keeping track of where the proportions fell. I'm not going to nitpick, but am I the only one who cringed when he danced for five seconds at the finale? Again, for me it fit into the whole "weirdness, look!" routine that Burton and Depp think the audience will take for granted as something to be delighted over. I'm not going to say that either person should take a drastic change on how they do what they do, but, my god, at the risk of sounding overly dramatic, they need to have some dignity, put some real heart into what they make. Not slather on some white paint/computer enhanced graphics to steal away from the substance of what they're suppose to be working with. My own like of this film was the Queen. Compared to everybody else, she came off as the most complex and endearing character, which can be more typical of villainy than, say, our bland Alice, and she nailed down the movie where otherwise it felt like it was floating around. Or so is my opinion. I'm really looking forward to this, but I'm also hoping the rumor about Marylin Manson doing a film version of American McGee's Alice is true. Manson's another cat I have issues with, but, this rumor here, is it solid enough for any further details?
