I am sure the movie is a
visual masterpiece, but I doubt the story will be moving in any way or communicate anything meaningful. I believe when filmmakers have this kind of technology and power at their disposal, they could afford to make movies with actual depth instead of ones that just serve as mere spectacles. It's like candy. Sweet while it lasts, but quickly dissolving and ultimately forgettable.
Then again I never really understood the appeal of Lewis Carroll in the first place nor understood why Alice in Wonderland is such a classic.
Also, while I have deep respect for Burton's talent and creativity, I am never emotionally drawn into the worlds created in his films nor to the characters.
