I'm sorry, but I just flat-out don't like Tim Burton's "re-imagining" stuff. I didn't like his Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and I didn't like his Alice in Wonderland. Both, I think, suffered from the same problems of trying to "darken" a source material that was never really dark to begin with. And that annoyed me a lot.

I suppose I'm the opposite of you, Faye. I thought it had an okay plot - the "return to mythical place as an adult when you thought it was a dream all along" thing has been done before, just not with Alice in Wonderland, so a half a credit should probably be awarded there - but the visuals really ruined it for me. Wonderland is not supposed to be "dark". The weirdly ultra-contrasted, ultra-shadowed colors just made things hard for me to see, didn't really enhance the atmosphere or anything.
