Was it as wonderful as you are wondering? Some might think so, but not me. I did like the movie though. It was different but I wasn't blown away by it by any stretch of the imagination. I liked the Chelshire Cat the best. I never saw the Disney cartoon or read the book but now I actually know who Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (see creepy pic) are. Even better, I know where the term "Vorpal Sword" originated. Now I feel like I need to read the book. I do think the movie could have been made better. Tim Burton uses too much "black" (I know that is his thing) but I think everything seemed tainted and not as brilliant as it could be. It's still cool though. There is alot of original characters and animals in this movie I enjoyed for the first time as well. That said, 3D is really bothering me now. I see little need for it and it takes aways from the feel and flow of the film. It becomes a distraction if you have corrected vision like me. I will say this fantasy is a 7.5 out of 10. I wouldn't feel pressed to see it in the theater. I went with my wife and 5 year old son and we had a good time. They liked it too. Wait for the Blu Ray as I am sure that will look much better!
