My main draw to this film was Helena Bonham Carter, I think she's awesome and she certainly was formidable as the Queen of Hearts. Johnny Depp was brilliant as the Mad Hatter too. The story was slightly unfocused and difficult to follow, but the special effects and costumes transported you to another world.
I certainly enjoyed it and if my DS's reaction is anything to go by, I'd recommend you add it to your list of children's must see films.
