Its funny because Avatar was exactly the same and everyone creamed over it.Whats all that about?It was average at best. To be honest it just shows exactly why Tim Burton is becoming boring. The only good character was the Cheshire cat because it was voiced by Stephen fry. The visuals were great but it just felt empty and soulless. Johnny Depp's mad hatter character was annoying as hell. He really tried way too hard and in the end I hated his character every time I saw him. Also that dance part at the end was one of the most awful and out of place scenes I have watched in ages. It was so forced and terrible especially with the song. It was quirky to the point where it just became monotonous to watch. The Avril Lavigne song during the credits was awful too. It had so many odd characters that could have worked well but they all just felt either annoying or pointless. Overall it just felt like a painfully shallow and dull film with only good visuals to make it stand out. Nowhere near as good as Tideland, which had a similar concept but did it much better. CGI can be great if done well but if used too much it becomes empty. The Imaginarium of doctor parnassus had amazing visuals but it also had an interesting story and characters to support the visuals. Alice in wonderland had the visuals but it lacked everything else. I would give it a 5/10.
