A lot of parts of the books with weird interpretations but nothing to grab you and make you feel that this film is exceptional. Best part? The Cheshire Cat, with the other characters being far too wide of the mark except in Burton's imaginings
The two Alice books are classics but this film has little to do with Lewis Carroll. Alice is a teenager; the Queen of Hearts and the Red Queen somehow get merged into one character (with a massive head) and the Jabberwock is a first cousin to the Nazgul from the Lord of the Rings. Pointless. The psychology of Alice and Wonderland have been examined in much more illuminating detail by films which stuck to the original story.
