Not as good as I expected

This was typical Tim Burton - a great story for both children and adults to share twisted into a shocking visual experience. I would NEVER let my children see this until they were at least 15. The ending killing of the Jabberwacky was pointless gore that seemed to go on forever. I did LOVE the visuals of the Cheshire Cat. The diversion from the original story was unnecessary and added nothing to the story. The copycat (from Wizard of Oz) use of the characters in the dream from the real life segments was so poorly done that it was a waste of time in the movie. I think the best things about seeing this movie was it took up less than 2 hours of my life but my Mom and I did enjoy the time at dinner afterwards!
I have no idea why I thought I would enjoy this movie when I hated "Nightmare Before Christmas" and did not waste my time on "Coraline". I guess I just don't appreciate Tim Burton's dark humor and twisted chop on good storied when he puts them to film.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
