Movie lacked "snap"
PostedMarch 7, 2010

I was largely disappointed. The movie lacked "snap" - that ingredient that keeps you engaged & on your toes. Johnny Depp gave a good performance as the Mad Hatter. Helena Bonham Carter stole the show as a wonderful & convincing Red Queen. All the other characters were boring & forgetful, particularly Mia Wasikowska as a flat & poorly acted Alice. The story's main character wasn't engaged, and so neither was the audience. Despite a packed theatre, the audience was silent throughout the movie, and only gave a few pitiful & almost obligatory claps as the end credits started to roll.
Overall it was interesting but not great. A very talented cast put on a ho-hum performance, and I was largely disappointed by Tim Burton's direction.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
