I'm a Burton fan but I wasn't impressed. The characters felt one-dimensional and the story just felt like it was going from point A to point B to point C, etc. without any character development going on. Another problem I had (and my main disappointment) was that the movie really *wasn't* very creepy at all. I dunno what it is about that original cartoon, but it still gives me the creeps. I wish I could have felt that with this movie.
You don't like Tim Burton? Really? Hmm... suit yourself. I like him. It's too bad I won't be able to see this in 3D but I'll still probably like it esp since I've got the Schmoes backing it up. :D
I loathed this movie, I thought it took visuals over story and left me with nothing. I am starting to realize you are the two who liked Avatar and I'm not sure I should trust we will like the same movies.
@aragon131 I , on the other hand, can't recall a film where I totally disagreed with the Schmoes all that much. There were a couple of movies they split on, but for the most part they have been spot on. Check out Fury of the Film Fan, see if he's closer in taste to you.
i base my movie going choices on your guys's reviews. thanks for doing such a great job! its nice to have a critic for my generation, someone who we can connect with and understand. Every critic over the age of 40 who uses big words to sound important really confuses me when i am deciding to watch a film.
what im basically saying is, thanks for using small words so i can understand your reviews!
you wondered who it was? How about looking it up?

Did you guys like The Nightmare Before Christmas or Ed Wood? Those were good films!

Christ, this flick was bad. Crummy pacing, bad storytelling, phoned-in "clever" dialog.
And when did Alice need to become He-Man?

The visuals were wonderful, though.
