The Two-Minute Verdict
Now that Comic-Con is getting underway, it’s time for studios to begin releasing all the goodies that Con attendees will have to stand in line to see on a bigger screen. First up, we have the trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland semi-sequel, and unlike the Freddy Krueger tease from earlier, this clip’s got a lot to show off.
To a certain extent, the film hitts all the visually dazzling beats you might have expected, especially since its outre character art has been dribbling out over the last month or so. One thing that shocked me, though, is Johnny Depp’s relatively restrained accent; with the potent combination of Depp, Burton, and a Carrot Top fright wig, I was expecting a voice that sounded like a strangled Shelly Duvall, just for Depp’s kicks.
No, but seriously: Looks good! Can’t wait to see it in 3D.
VERDICT: Sold.

Egads! Too much CGI.

Amazing! This is just the kind of Alice in Wonderland I was hoping for. Mr. Burton, I forgive you for that Chocolate Factory movie now.

comic con was awesome. looks like burton's alice will be a visual masterpiece. frank beddor (producer of there's something about mary,)was also at comic con and has a film in the works based on the incredible Looking Glass Wars books. if the website is any indication of what the film will be like, then it may very well blow burton's version out of the water! can't wait for both of these films!
