Tim Burton usually has a twist of the film noir running through his movies, but this film I found much different. It was a little dark @ times in relation to character and for this reason I do not find it a suitable movie for children 7 or under. I thought it was a fantastic movie in color, theme, and adaptation of literature! The color and the3-D imagery brought this movie to life with vibrance! I loved all of the characters esp. the Cheshire cat and, of course, Johnny Depp. Well done!!!
Much of the cast does not have a lot of range with their acting experience. The movie was true “enough” to the book. I am a bit tired of Kristen Stewart's flat affect, distant gaze, and apathetic disposition. She needs more range to her character. The Taylor Lautner, Jacob, and Robert Pattinson (Edward) characters were well developed. I can't wait to see further development of the new characters, such as Dakota Fanning as Jane. The CG was much better in this movie than Twilight. The CG was more obvious due to the wolf pack and their need to change from human to wolf form-- this made the movie so much more exciting! Of course, for any Twilight series fan you must go see the movie, but it is a movie series that is a work in progress!
