As a huge fan of Tim Burton's films, for me, it's his best work since Edward Scissorhands. I've only gone to see a movie on opening day on three occasions because I was so psyched to see it and Alice did not disappoint in the least. Since it's been nearly 40 years since I've seen the original Alice, I'm sure I missed out on some of the references made to it. However, I am so appreciative of the way Burton paid homage to it in many scenes, beginning with Alice's fall into the hole. It's an amazing, beautiful film and was way better than Avatar. I walked out of the theater and asked, "Can we see that again tomorrow?" We just might.
