This Friday, AVATAR opens and it brings with it a boatload of new trailers. There'll be ROBIN HOOD, CLASH OF THE TITANS and this new ALICE IN WONDERLAND trailer. While Disney would, I'm sure, love for you to see this trailer in 3D, it's online now and I have to admit, I dig it quite a bit.

The visuals are obviously astounding but this is the most we've seen really out of either Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter or Helena Bonham Carter's Red Queen and the performances are what's sucking me in. And I'm not sure if they're downplaying it in the trailers but this looks more family friendly than I thought a Burton ALICE IN WONDERLAND movie might be. In any event, check out the new trailer below!

Okay. Visually this looks pretty good. (I say pretty good because my standards have changed with Avatar coming tomorrow.) But otherwise. I'm actually going to take a rain check. My first impression is that it will be good, but I'm not totally sold. I'm gonna have to see it.

All I can think of...
...is when Steve Buschemi played the Mad Hatter on SNL years ago and stated, "I build race cars out of my own poop!"

Another re-iteration of this? Ugh!
I swear if they remake "It's a Wonderful Life" that's it, the movie business REALLY just doesn't care about anything original anymore. This looks great for kids, but where is the fun when EVERYBODY knows this story backwards & forwards? I'm sorry but part of the fun of movies is NOT knowing what's going to happen next?

This looks great for kids, but where is the fun when EVERYBODY knows this story backwards & forwards? I'm sorry but part of the fun of movies is NOT knowing what's going to happen next? It's really sad & Tim Burton has made anything remotely good since "Big Fish" & even that doesn't really hold up too well. I sure hope "Avatar" is something original & isn't just something pretty to stare at. I keep hoping some original thinkers show up to Hollywood soon. Somebody needs to make the excellent book "Shadow Divers" into a movie already. Look it up & read it is all true & fantastic. It's about Wreck Divers who found a U-Boat & spent years trying to figure out which one it was & all sorts of amazing info.

Visually interesting, but again, it's Tim Burton. For me, the last nail in the coffin for him was Planet of the Apes.



I'll probably rent it.

i love the visual design of the film! exactly how i picture wonderland being. people should stop hating so much on cgi, do they forget that there are incredibly talented artists involved in that design process as well? it's not like the computer just shits this shit out people. i'll wait for the final render in 3d to make my judgment.

What the hell
I dont understand why people say "omg, another Tim Burton movie that looks the same as his last" it makes ZERO SENSE to me.



Its HIS UNIQUE visual style that is his trademark. Its not like EVERY director makes their movies look like Tim's making it stale. No, its only HIS, so its awesome.

Nobody says "omg, its another Peter Jackson movie, or Steven Speilberg film." Cuz all their movies are "visually" the same, nothing jumps out, nothing is truly unique or fresh for your eyes.



Tim Burton does his films his way, and (visually) they are impressive. So yea, thought I'd say something after hearing all this crap towards Burton.

CGI big deal i mean can you really imagine wonderland without all the hoopla i mean it needs to be that odd and grotesque its how we've all seen this world rather we want to admit it or not. burton is absolutely the right guy to make this film and i thnk he made it right. SO to end i guess i have to say i agree with you on the love for this film

I don't agree with Burton being the same but you have to understand that his movies have a Burton feel to them. That's fine and all, but you can put Private Ryan and Amistad next to Jurassic Park and have no idea the same director did all 3.

I don't agree but I'm just trying to clarify it for you.

Yawn.



It's a Tim Burton movie. It'll look exactly like every other Tim Burton movie. And Tim Burton movies are looking pretty stale these days. Probably because he pretty much just keeps making the same movie over and over and over again, with different titles. Wake me when he develops artistic range.

This is going to rock! It's nice to see they're taking it in their own direction, rather than just simply doing a straight up remake. This makes me more excited. And I don't have a problem with Anne Hathaway, but I have a bias towards her. Her line in the trailer was pretty lame...

wow.. the teaser was fantastic and the posters were brilliant....I love almost every piece of Burton's work but this is a CGI overkill that looks fake. I mean.. video game design fake. The giant heads just look so odd and out of place. Where are the Burton set designs? Did he replace everything with CGI?



This could go over worse then Wonka and we know how bad that went over.

I love when they team up. honestly to best describe burton just think story book, fairy tails that is what the man does best.

everyone hating on the depp madhatter but come on guys, they have to sell the movie according to one big star and really who else could they sell the movie on? I mean when was the last time you were lke we should go see the next bohnem carter movie, or hey crispin glover's new movie is coming out. I think we will eventually get a trailer thats beyond the madhatter but for now the studio knows thats the only real big name they can sell. As for playing a different character in this movie i got ask really how else could he play it but weird? I mean he's called the mad hatter what do you want a taxi driver performance, a more subtle weird because lets face it if your mad you are mad. You're insane, and off the bloody walls, I mean tha's what i love about the orginal disney version was that those two at the tea party were mad. All Depp is doing is bringing us what we expect from the mad hatter. and as far as him playing odd quirky characters i respect him for it i mean he may be able to play leading men but those c haracters are often the most uninteresting. He says he loves characters that are off. he hates the idea of taking a lead role that is just a man learning a lesson and honestly there are very few movies where he has top billing and is actually the character that experiences change. He needs deeply disturbed characters and i respect him for that i mean leave the roles of leading men to people like pitt and clooney men who can play a smile and a wave and get paid for it. not to say they are not great actors i mean 1 monkeys, and michael clayton are great examples of thee men acting but they are leading men and leading men are never really that interesting of a character you love the characters who teach the lesson rather than learn it.

But i digress

I really want to see this movie

Both Sides...
It looks eh, i was waiting to hear the "Lets Boogie" at the beginning of the trailer like Willy Wonkas trailer since its the same character...again, but i DO love how its an unofficial sequel, different story, continuous if you will. That is what is intriguing me

I don't know the whole thing looks incredibly rushed and just plain gross to look at.

I Thought The Teaser Was Bad...
...but oh dear god! This new trailer almost made me vomit. The obvious fake CGI, the awkward (very, very awkward) character desgins, and the fact that we've seen this type of Depp performance before. This could easily be one of the worst movies of next year.

I'm on the fence. I love Burton and Depp, and this looks like a lot of fun. But I have a feeling it will rely on CGI and "crazy Burtonesque-ness" too much for it's own good. Again, I love Burton, but he tends to phone it in on movies like this. Planet of the Apes and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, his other remakes, were uneven and campy.

It would've been better if you said Same same Burton Depp. Depp usually only plays these really weird characters under the direction of Burton.

Thank you for the movie lesson. Actually I've seen all of the movies you mentioned. And Ed Wood is one of my favourite movies. But still I think this performance looks too similar to other freaky Characters Depp played before...And don't remind me of the secret window ;o) That movie sucked.
