She certainly is, she and Alan Rickman steal every scene they're in in the Harry Potter movies, and that's a cast full of phenomenal actors.InvisibleSeal said:

True. However:xxhazyshadowsxx said:
This is a disney film. So there will be a movie tie-in game. Which means that the chances of me getting a video game adaptation of the looking glass wars lessens ever so greatly. Therefore, I despise the film, Tim Burton, and the world.
Still looks good though.
Completely agree - shes such a versatile actress as well.resultsmayvary said:
Alan Rickman rocks too; he was amazing in Perfume and Love Actually (off topic I know, and sorry for the rom com reference).
EDIT: snipped the quotes to be less annoying.
With all the other amazing actors in the film, I feel that screen time will probably have to be split between them quite well, since otherwise they would just seem like cameos, which can be annoying. Considering other films though, the film will probably be quite good - thinking of actors such as Steven Fry to balance out Depp's screen presence.jebbo said:

Well apparently the film is not actually an adaption of the book per se, in fact from what I've heard its a sort of SEQUEL to the old books. This is apparently about Alice's SECOND descent into wonderland sometime in her teen years. They explain in the script that Wonderland goes BACKWARDS in time, so that's why Mad Hatter can be younger as well as perhaps a bigger part of the story. Disney just needs to ADVERTISE it as a remake for the sake of more viewers and a bigger audiencejebbo said:
Meh, I was kinda let down after Sweeney Todd. Can't remeber any of the songs, and the only interesting part was the one with Sacha Baron Cohen, which lasted for about 5 minutes.
2 things I'm pretty sure of without actually knowing for a fact. The Hatter will be in this movie more than he was the book. Secondly Mia Wasikowska will have more screen time than anyone.jebbo said:
They are using Depp as a vehicle for the film, because, well...it's Depp. He's one of the 5 most bankable actors in Hollywood. Showing him sells tickets. It's just marketing. I think he will be in the movie more than the book because he brings a lot to any film, so I'm sure Burton wants to give him screen time to try and improve the film, at the same time Depp is in no way an attention whore or a camera hog, at all.
He took the Pirates of the Caribbean movie as a supporting character. By the time the second one came out he was the main character, but not because he asked, because he can act circles around Orlando Bloom. And being nominated for an Academy Award for best actor in the first one didn't hurt.

secondly Johnny Depp isn't in all of his stuff, he's been in 6 of his 16 movies. and probly likes to work with him since he's a great actor and they work well together
as for non-dark and creepy movies there's a bunch of them. Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Big Fish, Batman, Batman Returns, Mars Attacks, Ed Wood and Planet of the Apes
as for all of them being dark and creepy, that's the style of directing he does and the majority of movies he makes. every director has their own particular style of movie they make and how they direct it. look at Micheal Bay's movies or Kevin Smith's movies, they follow the same pattern
I enjoyed Sweeney Todd, despite the many reinvisionings of it, I thought it an interesting and entertaining addition to the myth. I suppose this is where I find my distrust of this film, seeing as it comes from a definitive source material (i generally loathe adaptations).The infamous SCAMola said:
If it is, as alalge said, somewhat a sequel and a second descent, then it could very well be worth the view. If this is made clear at the start in an opening sequence so as not to put off 'fans' of the original story and animated version, then it allows Tim Burton free reign over the characters without bringing up annoying, infinitely repeated debates over the film so we can just enjoy as a standalone project.
Somehow the pessimist in me still resides on this one though
I feel the same way.AkJay said:
He really seems to have lost his mojo.
Sleepy Hollow was probably his last great movie.
Isn't that his style though, that's like saying, oh I'm really getting sick of Guns and Roses, they really only just play classic rock, pah.AkJay said:
johny's makeup looks a little bit over the top to me, the again the only former refrence to alice in wonderland i have is the Disney animated movie.
I don't know about this guys. Don't get me wrong, Tim Burton had some cool movies but its seems that after a while his films have become overused and cliche. Its like the former - original movie style has become old hat. But you never know, this might have some potential. I guess I'm just not seeing it.
