I know it's a phrase commonly used to describe a television series that has gone too far, but watching the Hatter's "dance" near the end of the picture, it occurred to me that something that started out amazing and full of potential ended on a note that made me think I'd just been hoodwinked by a studio that wanted to make the movie appealing to as wide an audience as possible at the expense of artistic integrity. Having a pop artist replace Elfman's appropriate (if somewhat clichéd) score during the credits seemed to seal the deal for me. This could have been great, and Burton could have done it right, but I think someone's artistic vision was repressed by a studio's (and a directors?) greed. I guess it worked... they got my $15.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
