Depp loomed so largely over the film (he’s not only top-billed, he’s the only cast member whose name appeared prominently on the release posters) that his Mad Hatter felt intrusive.
Though I loved Mia Wasikowska as Alice, Johnny Depp appeared to be acting in at least three different movies, only one of which was the same one everyone else was making. I found it to be too dreary to be fun and overly forceful about its “We’re all mad here” environs. It was recognizable without being rote, presenting us our old familiar friends with a freshness to match their muchness.
For some viewers, Alice in Wonderland was an inventive synthesis of Lewis Carroll’s literary universe with a bold, new vision that posited it as a distinctly modern film.
