Though the story/plot line of the movie was a bit lacking in depth, the acting, characters, and visuals more than make up for it. All elements that have become beloved from the original story are retained and enhanced, while Tim Burton's macabre visions abound throughout the film. As one of my favorite directors, he did not disappoint and anytime he works with Johnny Depp, it's a safe bet the movie will be a great one. Additionally, IMAX 3D is well worth the price to experience this movie in the best way possible.
