You know what, I'll second that as well. Depp almost seemed cocky as the Mad Hatter. It wasn't the strength that he gave in the first Pirates movie, which I thought he did quite well in.
I agree completely with this. They've always kept that team up and it seems to be quite popular now. But, it'll go out of fashion in due time, you know? They'll get tired of the same actors over and over and over again.

That love triangle is mostly between Burton and Depp, no? Bonham-Carter came into it a few years ago, right? I don't know. But, all in all,

On the topic of Burton, he didn't write it, someone else did. I agree entirely on the writing being crap though.

It's a hookah, but okay. And yeah, I lol'd at that too.
Well, Alan Rickman sounded stoned and the whole movie is an allegory for drug use anyway, so...
Sorta, I wouldn't doubt that you could interpret it that way. I don't know Carroll's literature well enough to make a call on what his book was actually talking about.

I was impressed by the Jabberwocky references in the beginning and the way it began. I thought they did very well establishing the film and keeping the trippy yet simultaneously intriguing storyline going for that first half, but I felt that the plot fell apart when the Mad Hatter reminisced about the destruction of Wonderland. There was too much focus on the graphic but not enough on making the storyline rich enough to follow. The writing and script was the worst part. There could have been so many cooler Lewis Carroll and original Alice and Wonderland references, but I felt that they didn't go all the way with the film.
A really good example is the checkerboard scene during the fight. I was totally expecting a really sweet, chess-match style battle, like in Harry Potter 1 except more badass, so I was pretty bummed out when it was only the Jabberwocky vs. Alice. Another example is the whole Knave of Hearts part. The part where his eyepatch turned black when he was out doing the Queen's bidding was a nice touch, but I still feel like they could've done so much.
Tim Burton went far enough to make it intriguing, but he left it at that awkward intermediary where you either go for it entirely or you pull back a bit, making the film not as fun as it could have been.

It was pretty amazing in the artistic department, and I thought the acting was great all around (for once though, I don't think Depp was suited to a "crazy guy" role).
