I thought it was a wonderful new story extending one of my favorite disney movies. Johnny Depp is great as the mad hatter, and Helena Bonham Carter as the red queen was genius. Tim Burton has an amazing way of taking something that is pretty straight foward and making it something remarkable. The story line for this movie was great and I liked how he through elements from the original into this one. It made the movie what it was. Though I really enjoyed this movie, I've heard other people didn't like it at all. In my opinion its one of those movies that either you will love or hate. You just have to go see it for yourself.
