Alice in Wonderland on the other hand was.. interesting. I enjoyed watching the movie however at the end of it there were several questions I had that went unanswered and I felt like something was lacking from it.

I loved Alice in Wonderland, but it was probably because it was my first movie in 3-D, and I spent the entire 2 hours trying to dodge the things that were coming at me. LOL.
I found one fault with Alice In Wonderland, however: Johnny Depp often speaks very quickly, and with the accent he used, it was hard to understand him. But, he made up for it at the end of the movie, with that dance.

But I will say that Alice would have been half the move it was without Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter--that man is just insanely talented in such a fun, wonderful, quirky way. :)
Avatar was the better movie but I still liked Alice. Was the a great movie? No, but I didn't go in expecting that I just wanted to be entertained and I was




Alice was wonderfully written and completely original (and it was based on a previously written book and even a movie). I will admit that the graphics were not as good as Avatar.
I will probably purchase Alice on DVD. Have no desire to ever see Avatar again.
Johnny Depp's acting was outstanding. He plays an excellent crazy person. The eyes freaked me out.





Alice in Wonderland was cute, but it put me to sleep. Definitely more suitable for a younger audience I would say.
Hrm... apples and oranges. If we're going by graphics alone, Avatar definitely wins. Cameron really pioneered some amazing new technology for the movie.
The stories and the intentions of both films, though, are so different that it's hard to compare them. Avatar's story is a very commonly recycled one, and while it works, it is kind of trite. I enjoyed it, but I was definitely aware that I was watching something like Fern Gully or Dances With Wolves in space. Alice, on the other hand, is definitely a Burton film. It was quirky and strange, and while it did have some problems, I enjoyed it, too. :)

Alice in Wonderland was pretty good too, but it felt like Alice's character was too downhearted or something like that, meaning that she doesn't seem to have any emotion in any of the events she was in and I couldn't relate to her that much even though I loved the idea that Tim Burton made her into a stronger person than in the original books. But I thought that the graphics were really good though!!

I really wanted to like Avatar, but I it was too long & too boring. I thought it was 45 minutes too long.
