Why-oh-why did director Tim Burton have to go and get his grubby, little (Edward Scissor) hands on the story of Alice In Wonderland? Why? The way I see it, Burton almost single-handedly succeeded in totally trashing this unique and unusual fairy tale by turning it into yet another one of his typically terrible, little freak shows. Unlike the 1951 animated version of this same story, where the characters were basically charming, likable and memorable, Burton's offering gives us characters that are really quite the opposite. In my opinion, Burton's remaking of Alice In Wonderland is about the same thing as if Rob Zombie were to go ahead and remake Burton's "Pee Wee's Big Adventure", or something to that effect. Johnny Depp is another reason for my disliking Alice In Wonderland. Am I the only one who's sick to death of seeing this guy in yet another Burton film? I admit that Depp is a decent enough actor, in a generic sort of way, but the truth is, he is far too over-rated for my liking. And I think it's about time that Burton quit recycling him as if he were a dishrag.
