When I was a kid I used to have an alice in wonderland book, I would sit reading it and looking at the pictures for hours. I never quite thought the animations in the book or film version grasped the darkness of the story. I really liked the tim burton version and we have to remember its a follow on from the original, not the original.
I did think my 8 year old daughter might be a bit scared of it so was weary to let her watch it, infact she loved it. I think Johnny Depp is one of the best actors to date. He doesn't choose films for the money but for the creative challenges as an actor. He comes across as a different character every time he plays a part and thats what acting is about. I thought it was an excellent film, trippy, dark and funny and in true tim burton style a little weird. Makes a change from the bundane!
