with all that being said, I'm glad it didn't live up to your expectations! I loved it!
Well, considering what I had heard from some friends who saw it the first night said it royally sucked, I was expecting it to. I was a fan of the Disney version of Alice in Wonderland when I was little, and although I haven't seen it in YEARS and know it was based off completely different books, I didn't think it would live up to that one. I wanted to see it for myself, and get to judge it on my own rather then listen to people. Why did I go? Well, I just wanted to see if it was as good as the disney version, 'cause to me that was a great movie. But I generally see movies which I expect to suck, because

1.) I loved the first one and it's a sequel. [like POTC for example, the 3rd one SUCKED and lthough I expected it to, I ws excited to see it since I loved the first 2]
2.) Good Actors/Actresses are in it.
3.) Maybe it won't be as bad as I think lol


Tim Burton, well he definitely is not my favorite director. I didn't like some of his movies - especially Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I also thought Corpse Bride was really dumb, and Batman forever sucked. James and the Giant peach, well no comment. I loved Sweeney Todd and Edward Scissorhands to. Alice in Wonderland was good as well, and so was Batman (original) and Batman returns. It seems weird how I love all his films that star Johnny Depp, that's the only reason I watch tb movies mostly. So, I guess you could say I don't 'love' Tim Burton either. I have never seen his "masterpiece" as a lot of people call it - The Nightmare Before Christmas. I think I would like it though.


Sorry, I made this explaination waayyyyyyy too long xD
