Alice in Wonderland

There are so many things about this movie to love; it's a remake of a classic, it's 3-D, a johnnydepp-tim burton collaboration is always a great thing, it looks like it will give you one hell of a head trip without the use of any drugs. But I felt like something was missing...
When I found out that this remake was being done I was so happy because of the above list of wonderful things about the movie. Tim Burton emanates this creepy and dark image through his work. And making Alice in Wonderland dark and creepy sounded like a perfect idea. But it just wasn't creepy enough...Not Tim Burton creepy. I don't really know what I was expecting. It may be due to the fact that I'm growing up or maybe I'm just getting sick of 3-D movies. Who knows. I will have to watch it again at some point to make up my mind.
Tim Burton's last movie, Sweeney Todd, didn't really do anything for me either. That "Joanna" song was definitely the breaker of that movie for me. How annoying.
I never thought the day where I would outgrow Tim Burton movies would ever come for me. But I think it finally has. I do still love his classics though. Who couldn't love Beetlejuice?

Oh the classics...







.....They don't make them like that anymore
