Depp is the greatest. It is good to see an actor who plays a variety of roles; not just one role in different guises. He is right up there with Dustin Hoffman in my book. I would see any movie by him just because it is him. Ok, my son has not gotten me to look at Sweeny Todd yet. I do back off from gore.
Good to see you back Ali.

I liked the soundtrack better than the movie, but haven't gotten the soundtrack yet.

Is it just me, or does the make-up for that film make Johnny Depp look EXACTLY like Madonna?

Just got in from the movie and I'll leave reviews to other forums. BUT, as I didn't know about the Hatter/Highlander bit, I barked with joy when the camera panned back from him handling a claymore to reveal the kilt! Worn askew, as befits the Mad. He kicked some butt, though. Not like some others, but held his own.
And afterward he dances, which brought another bark.
...and on the barking mad note, the March Hare has a pretty thick brogue..!
Aye, lads, a fine enterrrtainment. Enjoyed by all.
Find power in peace,

Just saw it tonight. The kilt was either Hume or (more likely) Black Watch and he wore a child's horsehair sporran. Although he spoke in an English accent throughout the film, I noticed that he spoke in a Scottish accent every time he was talking about battle, rebellion, and revolution...

Saw the movie last night. Truly amazing. After several close glances, as we sat fairly close to the screen, Mr. Depp appears to be wearing MacDuff hunting modern. If not, it look very similar to the kilt in that sett which I once owned.

Saw the new Alice when we went to the theatre determined to see a 3D film and Avatar was no longer being shown that way.... This 3D Alice was OK I guess but as far as the script goes, a sad travesty of the combined childish + magical logic of the original, sort of like Shakesphere being rewritten by a committee of salespeople. Anyway, I may have been confused here but I thought the otherwise rather-too-reminiscent-of-another-Disney-movie-character Dormouse was at times also being portrayed as Scottish. And I thought a lot of the Scottishness seen at times of rebellion was a riff on Braveheart. Did Disney have anything to do with that movie? It would explain a lot, product placement etc....
