'Hoppus tried the old hole-in-the-popcorn-bag trick with me. It did not work. The movie, however, did,' Wentz writes.

On Thursday night in Los Angeles, Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz and Blink-182's Mark Hoppus hosted an advance IMAX 3-D screening of Tim Burton's much-anticipated "Alice in Wonderland" (just one of the perks of collaborating on a song for the film's soundtrack, we assume). They ate popcorn and wore goofy 3-D glasses, posed with a Mad Hatter lookalike on the red carpet, and afterward, took the time to write up their reactions to the film for MTV News. What can we say? They're good guys.
Here's what Wentz had to say about "Alice in Wonderland," Tim Burton's much-anticipated latest opus, which stars Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and many others, and hits theaters today. Check out Hoppus' review right here!
"So I got the chance to go see 'Alice in Wonderland' with Mark Hoppus tonight. Before the movie began, Mark and I did a bit of a Q&A — pretty much all of our jokes went over terribly and now I wished I just had sat in my seat.
"I have to preface this by saying I am a die-hard Tim Burton fan. There isn't a single movie he has made that I don't like. I went into this thinking that it was going to be a remake, but it wasn't (apparently I had not done my research due to my excessive reading of comments on AbsolutePunk.net). What Tim did was essentially move the 'Alice' story into his own world. I don't want to give much away, but for the actors to have to work with CGI characters it appeared almost seamless. And yes, girls, Johnny Depp is still flawless in every single way. I think this is a movie I'd have to see twice to fully grasp it.

"I think it would be an incredibly daunting task to create an 'Alice in Wonderland' film that simultaneously stuck to the original text, held true to the beloved animated version, and set out to blaze its own trail. Tim Burton did an amazing job of incorporating all three into a great movie. It looks and sounds amazing, the effects are incredible, and the story moved along quickly. Johnny Depp ruled as the Mad Hatter.
"To be honest, I was a little scared walking into the theater. 'Alice in Wonderland' is one of my favorite books of all time, and I grew up loving the original animated version. How could anyone possibly attempt to build on that which has been held as perfection by generations? Tim Burton nailed it."
