They really did a great job on the makeup. I can tell that visually this film's going to be wonderful. I've never seen Alice in Wonderland, though, so I can't really make any comparisons...but if I like it, then I like it regardless of the modifications. I’m curious.

Everything he's put out since I was in high school seemed TO ME to be running to catch up with The Nightmare Before Christmas. I haven't been able to really LOVE much that he's done since then. But I really, really, REALLY want to. I love the way his films look. His "vision" is flawless, and we got early glimpses of that with Batman and Beetlejuice. The execution and scripts, sometimes? Not so much. I liked Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was beautiful and new, but it wasn't as good as the first one. It had no soul at all. I liked Sweeney Todd, but there was something missing. You have neither sympathy nor fear for the characters in it. Edward Scissorhands was a good movie, but the basic moral of the story (the whole suburbia is sad theme back before it had been done to death) was lost in a story so proud of itself for being "out there" that it forgot to be coherent. I saw Sleepy Hollow, but I don't remember much about it (which is all the review it needs, I guess). Even though I've been disappointed by Burton over and over again...I still long to see his films. No one sees things the way he does. You can tell without ever even seeing his name in the opening credits that you're watching a Tim Burton film because his style is so unique. So. I will go see Alice in Wonderland, and I will go in with high expectations. I will wait impatiently, fully believing--again--that THIS one will be the masterpiece I've been waiting for. Whether or not this movie turns out to be "the one," I am sure that it will be gorgeous, immersive, and entertaining at the very least. In all seriousness, you know, Tim Burton IS going to make that one film that we've been hoping all the others would be. Someday it will happen and I don't want to miss that...because it will really be something else. You can't get more twisted than Alice, and no one does twisted better than Burton. I'm positively giddy. I have to admit that I haven’t loved on Tim Burton’s work since Corpse Bride.

Tim Burton pretty much ruins any sort of remake he touches. Planet of the Apes, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as examples. Wow, I am kind of surprised people are so excited for this.

I thought it was fantastic! A totally different take on it-Depp's was almost maniacal/socio-pathic in a control freak sort of way,rather than an unstable/I need company cuz I'm so insecure Gene Wilder sort of way. What did you hate about it,for people who disliked it? huh,why do some say willy wanka was so horrible?

Though Madonna does seem like a possibility. I am totally looking forward to this movie. Of course I would pay to watch Johnny Depp read out of the phone book.
