Um, how excited am I for this? Toooo excited. How much do I love Johnny and Helena together? Toooo much. From Sweeney Todd, to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Corpse Bride, and now this. They rule Tim Burton's world, and for that I will be eternally grateful. I have loved Helena Bonham Carter since I first saw her in Merlin when I was just a little girl. My dad loved the movie which is the only reason my mom gave in and let me watch it with him. It was a little twisted, but that's what makes it so great! Just like all the other films listed above. They all have that childlike, twisted frame of mind where the crazy makes sense. And Alice looks to be my knew favorite Tim/Johnny/Helena team film.

EDIT:

I'm pretty sad, I didn't actually enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Not that the visual effects weren't stunning, or that the acting wasn't right on par with what you would expect from the likes of Johnny Depp...I guess the story has just been told and retold so much that it has all become a little dull. Sad. Still! I do enjoy the books everytime I read them. Work of genius.
