I actually wished I had spent the money on The Crazies or Shutter Island. The world was typical Tim Burton, but I left the movie feeling the same way I did when I saw Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. Alice was horribly boring and the characters were lacking motivation to help her throughout the plot, yet it all works out in the end. Really didn't expect a happy ending from this story for some reason and I was quite disappointed. Overall, I'm glad I spent the money to support Tim Burton, but I really didn't think the $40+ I spent to see this movie was worth it. Sad when the previews to new kid's movies look to be better than the one you've come to see. I can't wait for How to Train Your Dragon.
