Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

[Kuzeh]

looks good....But I would have prefer a darker version...

I agree... looks too... "Dinseyish"...

Lets face it Burton sold out years ago, the kid who made Beetlejuice/Beetlegeuse, Batman and Edward Scissorhands is long gone

He did a good job on Sweeney Todd though, really enjoyed that one.

Those movies weren't mainstream blockbusters?

Me too! Sweeney Todd was wonderful!

Me neither. This one worked for me though:

I just watched it and thought a couple things about Depp. This role will either get Depp nominated again for an Oscar or will be considered another Willy Wonka-esque oddity. I can now clearly imagine Depp as The Riddler.

 

[Agent0028]

Hmm, not as creepy as I expected. I may go see it.

 

[Dementor]

I think it looks pretty amazing! Kinda weird...but Alice in Wonderland is weird!

 

[Darth Waller]

Looks good to me. I can't wait to see it in 3D.

 

[jinxx]

ummm, he worked for Disney in the beginning, right!?....

 

[The Ween]

I think it looks great!

 

[Aerosmith]

Looks great! I can't wait to see it!

 

[The Entity]

This looks great indeed!

I'm definitely going to see this in theatres!!!

 

[IronFingaz]

Yup, he worked on The Fox And The Hound.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

WOW that's a lot of CGI!

Not too impressed.

Here is the thing. Burton has become too Burton even for his own tastes. He has a gothic style that even he himself has had to overdo to appease those who follow his stylings. Charlie and Chocolate Factory was a great example of him being "Too Burton" for his own good where it seemed absolutely forced. This feels the same way except instead of having a darker, more adult take on the story, its Burton Light done for the Mouse to be able to merchandise the hell out of.

I really like Johnny Depp, I wasn't impressed by his Mad Hatter. The movie looks like it'll be a great film over all visually but I don't have many high hopes in terms of the film's overall quality. I smell another Planet of the Apes or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where people talk about how great it looks but how the movie itself wasn't anything to scream about.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Well summised Robert, very well summised.

 

[Josette]

Agreed, though I love Charlie.

I prefer the gothic take of American McGee's Alice game.

Rewatching it recently, made me realize Sleepy Hollow is IMO, the best horror movie of the past decade. Tim Burton is a natural who needs to do more gothic horror instead of dolling up Johnny Depp and putting his "quirky spin" on movies that don't need it.
