For those of you thinking of seeing this movie, you may want to wait to rent it. I'm not a huge fan of Tim Burton, but I have enjoyed several of his other movies, so we took a chance on seeing this one (in actuality, we wanted to see Avatar, but didn't get the chance to while it was in the theater, and Alice took its place on the day that we were available to go). Without going into too many details so as to not ruin it for anyone, it's Burton's own "special" take on the story (keep in mind, he was the mastermind behind Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, the Corpse Bride, and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street). It had some interesting elements, but if I had to sum the entire thing up in one word, it would have to be: slow. I don't think either Jeff or I walked out of there thinking, "Wow! That was a good flick."
