Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

[Misawa]

I sat down to enjoy it. I despise musicals but thought that if I could like one it would probably be a Tim Burton production of Sweeney Todd, but I couldn't bare the songs. The lyrics were awful. I would have much rather prefered it not to have been a musical. The TV film with Ray Winstone blew Burton's out of the water.

I thought Sweeney Todd was alright, but I'm really getting tired of Tim Burton films. They're doing nothing new and his styles getting old. I'll definitely be avoiding Alice in Wonderland.

[clueless]

ive been looking foward to this film for insanely long
i think it will be quite dark, like his films always are i cant wait

I love Tim Burton films, Mars Attacks what a good movie.

I'll definitly be catching this one.

Interesting, can't wait

[kk.]

I despise people who make assumptions based on the persons works in the past. The pictures look amazing and colourful. Tim burton films have actually been quite good, as mentioned mars attacks!! ha, loved that film, nightmare before christmas, edward scissorhands, and sweeney todd was alright.

ok yes, he could change his actors but it doesnt really bother me that much. Its another film at the end of the day and if the casting reflects the movies he makes then why not? jonny depp adds a sense of, 'darkness' say and helena is a great actress and she proves that in many films.

I wont go to the cinema to watch this film but will see it on DVD.

Yes, the lyrics are from the stage show, but they are just so clumsily written.

Tim Burton has made some great films, you are right, Batman and Batman Returns are both fantastic, and Sleepy Hollow and Mars Attacks are similarly decent, however since Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, he seems transfixed on using the same style for each film he makes. If you look at the costumes for the aforementioned picture, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, and now Alice in Wonderland, they're the same. I just feel he's lost his muse.
