4/10
Well as far as Burton-helmed remakes go, it's still better than Planet of the Apes and Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, but not by a whole lot. A(nother) 3D and CGI-infested film where more time and energy has been spent on animation and makeup than on making a movie that is actually interesting, entertaining, and heartfelt. The Pixar business model is still somehow lost on so many.
Burton's Alice isn't a particularly terrible film, just an incredibly uninteresting one where the audience is never for a second given any reason to care about anything that occurs. The acting is probably its best strength (aside from the visuals): Crispen Glover is great, Depp and Bonham-Carter are very good, and Alice (forgot her name) is functional. Anne Hathaway was the only one I didn't really care for.
