Dark. Very Dark. Damn near inappropriate for an 8 yo girl.
Burton has pidgeonholed himself into this gothic, black corner that is making all of his movies look and feel just like any other of his movies.
Depp, as usual, carries the show. The Mad Hatter was mad, without invoking a sense of evil or scariness. There must be a hundred better ways to have fun with tweedle dee and tweedle dum. March Hare looked like that tweeker down at the harbor that we always see at 4 am on our way to go fishing. No chess game, but that might have seemed too much like the first Harry Potter. All the fakey body parts were an obvious poke at the "plastic surgery" crowd. They always crack me up anyway.
All in all, wait for the rental.
