I so wanted to stay in Alice's world! Tim Burton is more Tim Burton-y than ever! Quirky but colorful & loveable to the max! Effects & actors seamlessly intertwine in a visual wonderland of chess pieces & playing cards that noone else but Tim could dream up. His sequel to the original classic is more than I dared to imagine. It isn't a deep entwined plot, but it's an eye-full of a fairy tale that allows forgiveness of that loss of "muchness." Johnny Depp (Mad Hatter) disappointingly reappears as Jack, Charlie & Edward. None of the other actors stand out much either. It doesn't matter. It was as fantastic of a world as Avatar & deserves to be a classic in your future DVD collection. Just be sure to see it in 3D IMAX a couple times first!
