i thought this was a blast. i didn't really get it. but i thought it was really cool and a lot of fun. it wasn't really the children's classic at all but something updated and modified for adults.that's just fine with me since i own on DVD so many versions of 'Alice' and many of them are very faithful that i don't think i could stomach another attempt at "faithful". and i liked the fact that this was for adults, the Tim Burton movie was original and did it's own thing, but it was still basically aimed at a 'kid' audience.
the story was pretty weird and it's message, something about instant gratification, seemed to get lost in all the kooky goings on.
the white rabbit/March hare was really scary and so were Tweedle Dumm and Tweedle Dee. Kathy Bates was also scary as the Queen and she was basically playing the same character she did in 'About Schmidt'. now that's scary.
i'm sure this whole thing is going to leave me permanently confused for the rest of my days, and i'm sure the movie had a very good moral. that is if you happen to be an oyster. beware the scary rabbit.
score 9/10
