I thought it was quite enjoyable. Wayfare managed to put her tongue on exactly what it was about this version — it’s not just that it’s a Tim Burton re-imagining of Alice in Wonderland\/Through the Looking Glass, it’s that it’s a new version with at least the skeletal outline of a plot<\/em>. Many of the previous versions (and, I’m lead to believe, the books themselves though I haven’t read them) consist simply of one dream-like sequence after another, with no overall connecting threads. That’s supposedly on purpose, since it’s supposed to be dream-like, but it’s not as rewarding for the audience to consume as a movie.<\/p>\n

Aside from that, I thought that some of the CG was a over-done (the Hatter’s eyes), but otherwise enjoyed it all. I loved it when the Cheshire Cat started kneading the hat, that was so perfectly cat-like, and Anne Hathaway was full of awesome as the White Queen. In fact, she may be the source of all awesomeness within Wonderland.<\/p>\n
