    And yes I did see 'Alice' in 3D I-Max style.

    It was the lousiest movie I have seen at a theater in the last 5 years.

    Depp was flat and overused like an ugly girl who reappears scene after scene in boring porn flick.
    And Burton was off----the movie looked like 'Wizard of Oz' meets 'Shreck', just not a good combo.

    But the reviews have actually been a lot less glowing than I expected. Both the NY Times and LA Times came pretty close to panning it.

    Being a big Burton and Depp fan, I'm surprised.

    But quality doesn't really matter ... this thing is making a fortune for Disney and that's all that counts!
