Such a disappointment, even for a huge Burton fan.

Burton's usually imaginative whimsy was reduced to echoes of Sleepy Hollow & Edward Scissorhands, tangled up with unsympathetic characters & a turgid lack of plot. The attempted cohesive “story” was a tiring stretch. Even Depp didn't seem to perform with a clear picture of his own character. Mad is one thing; sloppy is another. The weird Disney ending leaves one baffled as to why Burton quit working with them in the first place, as he puts creative differences aside to sink to their triteness again. Alice could have been brilliant. Instead, it panders to goth 12-year-olds, with more stripey dresses & spiraling vines than substance. His subtle touch for quirky intelligent artistry is lost on this one. A little more effort next time, please?
No, I do not recommend this movie.
