This take turned Alice into a prophesied hero here to free the kingdom. Prophecy? Chosen One? The movie has a defined purpose for Alice? What? Did you read the original book when writing the screenplay?
I was hoping for a great take on the story but the old Disney version captured it better then this did.
Hmmmm...I thought it was a good continuation premise for the story.

Another thing I appreciated was Depp's take on the Mad Hatter character. I loved his recitation of Jabberwocky with a Scottish brogue and the costuming that matched it.
I plan to see it again but haven't had the chance just lately. I will definitely buy it on DVD in June.
