content: There's nothing wonderful about Tim Burton's adaption of Alice's Adventures In Wonderland; a fantasy novel by Lewis Carroll. It's one of the most popular children's stories American culture has to offer. I remember attending a stage-play version of it back in elementary school. But I don't remember it being this bad.This is a movie without a clear plotline. The visuals; the costumes and set designs that make-up Wonderland; are artsy and imaginative. That's one thing a Tim Burton presentation virtually guarantees. But the story, which lands a girl named Alice in an impossible dreamworld of sorts, fails to captivate or even intrigue.Even worse is the characterization. I especially hate Johnny Depp as the incredibly annoying Mad Hatter and the cringe-inducing "futterwacken" dance he does, which an otherwise likeable Alice mimics near the end. It's just so stupid and pointless, as is the whole movie. Shame on Tim Burton for ruining childhood memories.marcellee.com
