Man, this movie is a downer. Tim Burton is visually inventive as a director, and some of his brilliance shows through, particularly in the Red Queen's court, but the film's tone is too charmless and somber. Towards the conclusion, it borders on almost a sword and sorcery adventure epic and the magic and whimsy that is present in Carroll's book is all but vanished.
