I am a fan of Johnny Depp.  I loved him in Ed Wood, Chocolat, Edward Scissorhands, Sweeny Todd and Pirates of the Caribbean, just to name a few.  I liked his character in Alice in Wonderland.  So, why I didn’t I enjoy this movie?  First of all, it is visually quite stunning.   But CGI does not a whole movie make!  The story itself though, was very thin and preposterous.  Yes, I know this is a fantasy, but seeing grown up Alice as the commander of her own  ship was pretty silly.  Also, the Queen of Heart’s reason for having a big head and her hatred of The Mad Hatter strained credulity.  Why not go after The Hatter himself instead of his family?  I must admit here that the whole Queen of Hearts character creeps me out; kind of like a scarey clown.  As for  Johnny Depp, I am not sure if I enjoyed him in this movie as he really didn’t have that much to do except look miserable and sad.  The only reason to go see this in a theatre might be for the 3D version.  Otherwise, if you must see it, wait for the DVD; it might have a good gag reel!
