Sorry we’re a little late on this one. Too much caterpillar-inspired hookah time.Now, if there’s one thing people seem to forget about Lewis Carroll’s “Alice” books, it’s that they are seriously f-ed up acid-induced trips put to paper. Sure, Disney made it fuzzy and cute, but Tim Burton kicked little Mary Jane wearing Alice to the curb and replaced her with a saucy teenager, a feminist before the word entered the modern lexicon. Add Burton’s obligatory casting of his partner Helena Bonham Carter, the universally-loved Johnny Depp and stoner baiting 3D, and you have the recipe for a blockbuster who could draw anyone from age 5 to 75 without breaking a sweat.
So… why wasn’t it good?
