Default AIW...how dissapointing =(

Not sure why but I have always liked the Alice in Wonderland story. I have seen every version on film, read all the books and numerous variants of the story and almost always enjoyed them, but this new movie was...well it was not at all worth the wait sadly.

That's all I got right now

It just didn't feel like a complete story at all and character development was...well it was crap.

I normally like Burton and his creations but this one fails IMO.

gf loves tim burton, depp, and AIW, she thought the movie was meh
plot was uninvolved, characters were boring, even mad hatter was weak, red queen was only decent character in whole story IMO
there wasnt any musical element to this movie, which is strange for a burton, and it may have really helped this movie, it seemed to miss life and joyfulness, even though it is supposed to be kind of dark its still a fun story and it missed that element
i hate musicals though so i wasnt real upset about it h:
