I loved it and thought it was visually great. Thought Alice was reeeealy flat and boring, but loved Hatter, the Queens and the Cat was my favorite.

The only bits that worked for me were the parts that hewed most closely to the actual books: the fall down the rabbit hole; the hall doors with the "drink me" bottle and "eat me" cake; the croquet game; even the tea party, for a minute or two.

Otherwise I was mostly distracted: by Depp's 2-D makeup, by the cliched Victorian scenes; by the faux-Narnia battle sequences.

I liked whatsername's Alice, more or less; liked Helena Bottled Water's queen; more or less liked Anne Hathaway's combo Billie Burke/Liv Tyler.

But essentially, he could have used "Wizard of Oz" or "Secret Garden" to do the exact same thing.
