this story seems to go along nicely with all memorable wonderland stories. all of wonderland (or, underland) was wonderfully burtonized. depp was charming, as always.
saw it in imax 3d, the 3d was incredible. i argue against anyone who says it is unnecessary. i feel we are finally getting past 3d being gimmicky and now it is becoming another way to immerse the viewer in the story, like wide screen format, technicolor, surround sound, etc. just as in avatar, you almost feel the blades of grass brushing your face.
it will still be an awesome flick to watch at home, but see it on the big screen, and in 3d, while you can.
not majorly comic-educated, but am alpha flight/wolverine fan. think they missed opp here to inc. some alpha flight since their stories are so tied together in comics. wolv. Run into james hudson would have been more accurate and would have opened up the possibility of future alpha features. even accuracy aside, the story itself was kinda week. whole thing about them fake-killing his girlfriend was odd. just left her in the woods, didn't stick around to see her remains taken care of? and why didn't they really kill her? killed others with out hesitating and didn't really have any more use for her. but there was plenty of action and jackman-flesh to keep interested. i might even see it again in theatre, and will be sure to pick it up on blu.
