Most of Burton's movie are loved and hated.

Loads of people hated Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and yet the critics were really good.
Alice in Wonderland is not different.

actually i loved Charlie and the chocolate factory 

and about the critics u are wrong 

here 

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10009599-alice_in_wonderland/

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/charlie_and_the_chocolate_factory/

 

Yeah but 53% is still quite good.

But what I really meant is that Alice is not different because people will love or hate it.

 

Alice in Wonderland is more appreciated than Charlie and the Chocolate Factory so far on IMDB:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367594/

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1014759/

so a 5.3 out of 10 is good to you? :-/

and i liked more Charlie than Alice hehehe

to be honest Alice is not a bad movie BUT it is a HUGE letdown 

just dont force yourself to love it 

53% on rottentomatoes is good.

 

It's also 53 on metacritic and that's VERY good. For example, The Blind Side (nominated for Best Picture) is also 53 on metacritic.

http://www.metacritic.com/video/titles/blindside

 

53% is not good

it means the movie its pretty average 

and actually i dont think the blind side deserve to be nominated for best picture 

and the blind side is at 70% on rottentomatoes 

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1212694-blind_side/

trust me Alice is not bad its just an empty boring visual wonder 

But that's your opinion you know.

I do believe you didn't like it but that doesn't mean much to me since I know I'll love it.



It's not that great actually, Avatar had a very mediocre opening. Alice in wonderland will probably make around 600 million, won't beat The Dark Knight though. You wanna see some big openings look at movies like Harry Potter or Spider-Man.

Are you guys serious?

Gilgamesh, Alice in Wonderland had a better opening weekend than ALL Harry Potter movies...

 

And movies are not like video games. It will do much more than 600 million.

 

I don't know if you guys are making jokes, hating the movie for whatever reason or y'all just cuckoos...

Look at the facts. The movie, for his genre, is doing more than awesome and no one expected such huge numbers.



The movie deserves to pass AVATAR imo..

As a movie it wasn't better than AVATAR, but as an ART PIECE it certainly makes you think why the world isn't as beautiful as it can be..

Looks like more tripe from Tim Burton.

Formula for Tim Burton movie: Make it at least partially or all the way have a weird vibe + cast Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.
