Directed by Tim Burton
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Starz)
The familiar Alice in Wonderland story is Burtonized and Disneyfied via sterile computer graphics. The tired video game plot places Alice on a journey in which she must overcome a series of foes, leading to the Big Action Climax against the Jabberwocky, who speaks in a deep menacing voice. Johnny Depp is ridiculous as the Mad Hatter with cat eyes. His dance at the end is groan inducing and embarrassing. The soundtrack by Danny Elfman is as lifeless as it is pompous. See Jan Svankmajer's 1988 masterpiece Alice instead.
