I enjoyed this when I saw it last week as well. Went to see the 3d version and it was really good, none of the stupid spears flying out the screen stuff but some really good use of depth.
Enjoyed the film, can't say that I thought the 3D was up to all that much though, perhaps it was just a shit screen I went to though. Film wasn't amazing, but was enjoyable and I felt good enough to warrant a purchase on bluray when it's out.
Saw it last week. Is one of 5 films I've paid for this year to see.. Out of them all, was my least favourite and was the only one (apart from the near 3h mark on Avatar) to make me check my watch. Didn't enjoy most of the film and thought that none of the characters were really all.. 'there' (I felt Depp could have played his role better). Not a horrible film, but wasn't anywhere near what I was expecting.
But then, I've never been a Tim Burton fan, so I wasn't really shocked. Is worth seeing once, just to see it. But won't go out of my way to see it again.
Or rather, I saw Tim Burton masturbating furiously over the still warm corpse of a childhood classic.
What a pile of shit. The scene with the Hatter dancing was so appalling that everyone I was in the room with involuntarily raised their hands to their faces in horror. The mini Alice child looked like a Lolita prozzie, reclining in bed with her pimp gently stroking her over rouged face as she recovers from a massive crack binge to deaden the pain of her cock heavy life. I actually found Depp irritating and unintelligible as the Mad Hatter, thought there was no genuine sense of either threat or warmth in the film, and wanted to amputate the White Witch's stupid twirly hands. She just reminded me of retarded bike boy in Malcomn in the Middle. Helena's Queen wasn't so much a homage as a direct, blatant rip of Queenie from Blackadder. Oh, and the dormouse was a dick, and the hare needed to be jailed for crimes against scottish stereotyping.
The script was awful, the plot was awful, and at the end you just felt like Burton was desperately trying to film LOTR. Seriously - Alice with a sword, while the Mad Hatter is doing battle? What. The. Fuck.
Oh, and the hastily tacked on conclusion? It jarred badly, was offensively simplistic, cruel to poor old lonely aunt, and felt cheap.
AND THE THING WITH THE KNEES! Don't even get me started on the thing with the knees.
This film was so bad. So, so, so bad. The Cheshire cat was awesome, and Mister Caterpillar was awesome, but the rest of the film was a appalling.
