good:

  • The girl who played Alice (though she could've used a little more muchness, as it were)
  • Mad Hatter's costume, English accent, and general portrayal
  • Helena Bonham Carter!!
  • Pretty much all of the cast, actually
  • But mostly Helena
  • Costumes!
  • The sets that made up both queens courts
  • The Chesire Cat
  • The monster that Alice befriends
  • Though it wasn't faithful to the source material, the emotional, coherent story line was pretty nice
  • The fact that the portrayal of the White Queen is based off of Nigella Lawson is kind of adorable

bad:

  • ... but then again it kind of fell flat and the movie felt short and kind of stunted
  • Hatter's Scottish accent, I know he's supposed to be mad, but the hell was that Depp?! It was awkward
  • The colors D: (with the exception of the White Queen's court, which was pretty and Rivendell-y!)
  • Abuse of CGI
  • Hatter's make-up/hair
  • The conclusion felt rushed
  • Depp and Carter again, Burton? Really? They're both awesome in their own right but REALLY?
  • I take back Carter, she was BRILLIIAANNT
  • But still, it doesn't hurt to branch out
