Re Alice in Wonderland: Much as I love Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, I thought that a disappointment. It was exactly what it professed to be: A Walt Disney kiddie flic with a bit of Tim Burton quirkiness and dark charm thrown in, stalled by a lamentably lame plot and a nauseating attempt at a politically correct ending ("Girls, do something with you life and the sky will be your limit!").
Somehow, I had expected a lot more. As disappointing as his Planet of the Apes remake.
