Alice in Wonderland is a well-paced, beautifully crafted visual spectacle that makes good use of 3D for a cracking cinematic experience.

Let me start by saying that I am a huge fan of Tim Burton. I have seenseveral people bash this movie with phrases such as, "I hate TimBurton." If you hate Tim Burton films, it follows logically that youwon't like this one, either. I went into the theater hoping forsomething amazing, and this movie certainly lived up to myexpectations. The dialogue was witty, the effects were beautifullydone. The colors used throughout the movie really added to the story,from the bloody red of the Red Queen's castle to the charred black ofparts of Underland. The music, composed by Danny Elfman, was anexcellent complement to the film, adding to the mood without beingdistracting. The camera work was also great, with the subtle angles Iexpect now from a Burton film. I WILL say that it is likely that the 3Dversion will be hindered by this. I saw the RealD version, but I wouldimagine 3D would be annoying. Finally, the acting was great. Deppreally brought the Mad Hatter to life in a way only he could - with thecrazy aspects of Jack Sparrow and the quiet concern shown in his moreserious roles. Bonham-Carter created the callous insanity of the RedQueen the same way she did Mrs. Lovett. Hathaway managed to create a"good" character who was, in her own way, nearly as mad as the Hatter.And of course, Wasikowska managed to portray both sides of Alice - thescared, confused girl and the confident fighter. All in all, I give it9 stars and will definitely be buying this as soon as it comes out.Finally, to those who are iffy about seeing the movie because of thedance, know this: it is at most 30 seconds long and had been mentionedand promised numerous times throughout the film. It wasn't thecompletely random, movie-wrecking scene that many critics areportraying it as.

I'm not that familiar with the books and I don't really recall theDisney classic, so forgive me for not comparing those to the movie athand. Of course I do know the overall story and I have seen the Disneymovie, but that was too long ago, to really claim to know thedifferences and/or advantages of either product.What I do know though, is that this movie works more as a sequel to theDisney film. Alice is older now, but can't remember what happened toher when she was younger. Actually she is thinking those (few) things(she does remember), were dreams. There is a character arc there,though it isn't a big one. It's not like she is going to changecompletely in the course of her journey. And story-wise there are quitea few holes.Still visually, this movie is fantastic. While it hops along with anice pace and has a few things happening here and there. And while thatmight not be satisfying for most people, it is enough to entertainquite a few others. The question that remains to be answered is: Whichgroup do you belong to?

If you are a fan of Lewis Carroll's classic "Alice in Wonderland," you will either love or hate this film - maybe some will find an in-between. It really depends on your take of the novel, and how you view it on the screen. In this particular case, Tim Burton was the director selected to put his very particular (i.e. dark) vision on film. The result, as I said, depends on your understanding of the original novel. Having said that, I found the movie to be quite entertaining and colorful, provided with great photography, and with the Burton signature on it.The film begins with little Alice having a nightmare - one of many --, and being consoled by her loving and understanding father. It turns out that both Alice and her father have great imagination, and he instills in her not to be afraid and follow her dreams. We then fast-forward some years, and we find out that Alice (Mia Wasikowska) is now a beautiful 19-year old young lady. Sadly, her father passed away some years before. We meet her in an elaborated party, when she is about to get engaged to a young man that she dislikes. However, just about when she unwillingly is about to give the "yes", in front of many guests and relatives, a rabbit calls her attention, and she decides to follow him. The chase makes her fall into a deep hole, taking her to a surreal Underland. Once there, she meets and make friends with a series of characters, including the Cheshire Cat, Tweedledee & Tweedledum, the White Rabbit, and many more. And, of course, there is also the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp). Together they will join forces to fight the evil Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) and Stayne (Crispin Glover - who else?), her right hand, and return the power to the White Queen (Anne Hathaway), its rightful and generous owner. By doing so, they'll first have to defeat the equally evil Jabberwocky.As I mentioned earlier, if you are a fan of the original book, perhaps your take on "Alice in Wonderland," the movie, will be critical. Having that in mind, the film will prove to be good fun for almost all the family. The 3-Disc combo Pack includes a Blu-ray disc, a DVD version of the film, and a digital copy. The excellent Blu-ray disc, in addition to the film, is loaded with extras - some features explore the film's characters (Finding Alice, the Mad Hatter, The Futterwacken Dance, The Red Queen, and more) and other take a look at the making-of the movie (Scoring Wonderland, Stunts of Wonderland, Tea party Props, etc.). The DVD also includes some of these extras. Released June 1, 2010. (USA, 2010, color 109 min plus additional materials). Reviewed on June 15, 2010 exclusively by Eric Gonzalez for [...]

I will start off by saying that I am not a huge fan of Tim Burton. Iusually find his movies a bit strange but if there is one place you canbe strange and fit right in, it's Wonderland.I am probably one of the few people who did not see this movie in 3D,but even in 2D it was visually stunning. Wonderland and all it'sinhabitants look just as you would imagine, complete with gianttoadstools, a blue smoking caterpillar and a Mad Hatter drinking tea.The story is not a remake of the original but rather a 'what happenednext' version based around a more grown up 19 year old Alice and thisis what made the movie so enjoyable for me. It was great to see thecharacters that we all love so much having a new adventure.I thought that Johnny Depp might over-egg his part as the Mad Hatterand he would be a bit too much like Willy Wonka in the ChocolateFactory again, but his character was actually really likable andunderstated. Mia Wasikowska made a very sweet Alice, Helena BonhamCarter hilarious as the Red Queen and Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Catreally stole the show.I agree with other reviewers when they say the storyline of the movieisn't edge of your seat stuff, but for me it didn't need to be. I washappy to sit back, watch the story unfold and enjoy the silliness.

Burton doesn't just hit the bottom of the barrel but drills through the wood and starts tunnelling. Its only saving grace are the arresting, if familiar, visuals.

Wonderland weirdness is utterly normal for Tim Burton and collaborator Johnny Depp who of course about everybody felt were perfect to do a new film version. My immediate reaction after just seeing this is been-there-done-that, but I vaguely recall it being a way cooler trip. Why is that?The highlight for me was Johnny Depp yet again perfectly transformed and fully immersed in another character, except for the ultra-goofy "dance" which was maybe the worst, most cringe inducing thing in the whole movie. But what an actor! He even came up with the look of his Mad Hatter. Perfect. The biggest failure of this film -I'd agree with Roger Ebert- is the big, dumb, loud and boring unnecessary third act battle. But I found this movie in general just really *odd*. It's a story about an upper class English girl from stuffy aristocratic society, this time in her late teens, hanging out with a bunch of weirdos, as director Tim Burton put it. Well Burton said "brat" hanging with a bunch of weirdos is basically the depth to which the story has been brought to the screen before, but here Alice seems like a pretty cool, independently minded chick ahead of her time. In fact the Burton version is basically a "you-go-girl" fable about following your bliss (literally following your dreams in this case) and having the courage to be yourself...It felt familiar but wasn't what I expected at the same time and the story didn't truly hold my interest and exactly why I can't put my finger on. Combination of things. Burton's attempt to add a tad more depth to these dream creatures and this being Alice's second trip down the rabbit hole? The pacing of events and subplots? I don't recall the Disney cartoon so much or the original Lewis Carrol story at all but there were details in this version that were weird. Members of The Red Queen's court and the intrigues, the Knave of Hearts, just the look of some of these characters and the castle were creepy, but not in a good way to me. This movie will give many kids some weird dreams by the way. The special effects were OK but for a person not too big on cgi I was again underwhelmed. Props on The Cheshire Cat tho... I dug that. To be sure there were some moments. I went in with an open mind towards the cgi and the 3-D and I gotta say I think 3-D is overall just lame. It strikes me as mostly a gimmick and the visuals will look more vibrant and colorful in good ole 2-dimension in your home on Blue Ray. (Although I want to add as a side note the preview for a 3-D documentary of the mission to repair to Hubble Telescope was incredible!!) Sorry don't want to harsh anybody's high.2.8 stars

I went to see Alice expecting the perfect mix of one of the mostoriginal and surreal directors ever being given the perfect materialfrom arguably the most surreal book in history - a wealth of ideas tointerpret and create. Instead this was a hugely disappointing and blandexperience that made me feel I wasn't watching work from the samedirector as Nightmare Before Christmas and Sleepy Hollow. The Alicebooks are dark and the imagery nightmarish. Even an interpretation madefor children had the potential for many moments of dark or surreal,outlandish and off-the-wall plots and imagery but the film simply hasno heart. There is little plot - characters are left hanging in the airwith no development and it just seems to be an Alice 'checklist' -Drink Me, Eat Me, Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, March Hare, Queens etc. -all present and correct and all on screen for about 30 seconds with noreason why they are there. And the Mat Hatter is perfectly sane! Justwith occasional bouts with confusion or self doubt but he soon pullshimself together. But overall the feeling is that there just isn't anydirection or reason to have made this - it isn't the original book -that's fine but if you're going to take something that original andmake a new vision then that vision had better be something special -and it just seems to be following the same generic formula of any otheraction Hollywood pic. The 3D as a mechanisms is not so bad but I dowonder when directors are going to realise that rushing 50 things pastthe screen at once doesn't allow the mind to focus on anything - I hadto close my eyes for a few seconds a few times in the film (mostnotably when falling down the hole) because everything was just a blur- I had no time to follow anything so I waited until the whirlwind ofCGI stopped - I had to do something similar with the first Transformerswhen you couldn't make out any single activity. Overall though reallydisappointing. My wife and I have long held that the perfect creativeteam would be Tim Burton directing, Johnny Depp as lead, a plot by NeilGaman and music by The Cure - the four most original artists in theirfields. Pleeeeaaasee Tim don't spend the last third of your careermaking rehashes.

At first, I didn't even know that this was a different plot to mostAlice in Wonderland films, and I was pleasantly surprised to find thatit was a fresh take on the old classic. Initially, I wasn't sure itwould be much, due to the appalling quality of films made in recentyears. The film starts off quite slowly, with very little happening inthe opening few minutes, and what does happen is entirely irrelevant tothe plot. Once Alice finds her way down the rabbit hole, things startto get going. I enjoyed the dark atmosphere, being quiteHarry-Potteresque at times. I liked the CG effects, with many of thecharacters either lovable or reflecting their actor's appearance whilemaintaining the fantasy element. This film's triumph though, it itscasting. Helena Bonham-Carter makes for a superb Red Queen, and is byfar the most amusing character in the entire film. Johnny Depp, who Iregard as the only good American actor apart from John Malkovich, isalso very good as the Mad Hatter, possessing yet another virtuallyflawless accent. Matt Lucas was a surprise for me, but I felt that hewas an excellent choice as Tweedledum and Tweedledee, bringing just theright naivety to them.The film runs very smoothly for most of the beginning and middle parts,with some features that I thought would never make it into a Disneyfilm. Sadly though, things take a turn for the worse when the climax ofthe film comes around. The battle scene is very mundane, predictableand just didn't grip me at all. I'm reminded strongly of the battlewith the Basilisk in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, exceptthat scene is now 8 years old and puts the fight with the Jabberwockyto shame. The CG effects in 2010 look rather pitiful in comparison tothose in 2002. The Basilisk looked so much more believable, not tomention the entire scene was more suspenseful, despite the fact Ialready knew the outcome of it from reading the book.But the battle scene is nothing compared to just a few seconds ofinsanity that follow it. Johnny Depp's dance can only be described as abrain explosion on the part of the writers. I simply sat, staring atthe screen, my only thought being "what were they thinking?!". It istruly one of the worst moments in any film, something that doesn't fitin with the rest of the film at all. Not even the music fits in withthe Victorian setting of the movie. Johnny Depp should be ashamed ofthe brief seconds he spent dancing in this abomination of an ending.Speaking of which, I have seen many a cringe-worthy ending of Americanfilms in my time, but none as ludicrous or inconsequential as this. Itis as if there were two sets of writers for this film. One for themiddle, and one for the beginning an end. The two sections seem to bareno resemblance to one another, and may as well be from different films.In my opinion, this film was gunning for an 8 out of 10, if it wasn'tfor the final few minutes which went from bland to inexplicable. Itbegs the question, did Tim Burton have anything to do with thisexcruciating ending? Or did Disney take over when it was nearlyfinished, and attempted to tie any hint of a loose end up and turn thisonce promising film into another piece of Hollywood tripe to be thrownonto the dung-heap that constitutes the majority of American cinema.

Those of you in the Home Viewing Market should be advised: this is not the 3-D version of the film, wether you purchase the DVD, the Blu-Ray, or the Combo Pack. The Blu-Ray 3-D version is slated for a future (likely Christmas) release. The DVD release is quite nice. Several extra features about the making of the movie, one focuses on Alice's character, another on Depp's conception of the Mad Hatter. Forgettable. Most people won't watch these more than once. The film is simply "The Film" that made almost a billion dollars in March and April-- you already know if you love it or hate it.The potential buyer might want to carefully consider the format one purchases: The problems currently being reported with the new Blu-Ray security coding on "Avatar" are likely to be found in this Blu-Ray edition as well-- even if you know how to "update the firmware" in your Blu-Ray player, it seems pretty dicey right now, whether or not it will actually play in your player, especially the "older" models. At least if you buy the Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack you can be reasonably assured that you can watch the DVD disc without any problems...Just as well it's not the 3-D version-- that currently requires one to purchase a new 3-D Blu-Ray Player, a new 3-D Widescreen HD TV, *and* $100-a-pair 3-D glasses that have a wireless connection to the player... and you think the *current* Blu-Ray system is still a little bug-ridden?
siderite 10 May 2012
This was a failed movie by many a reason, starting with theexpectations raised by a Tim Burton movie and ending with theunsympathetic characters therein. There was a scene where 3D animateddogs and pups play together. They should have taken that and made it amovie and forget about the Alice in Wonderland idea.What was also incredible to me was the enormous distance from the booksto this "adaptation". Go on, read the Wikipedia article on Alice inWonderland and Through the Looking Glass. The genius of Lewis Carrollwas not in making another book about a delusional child, but theinternal logic of the worlds and the mathematical and chess foundationsof the work. It was something special. They completely trashed that.Bottom line: Tim Burton usually makes terrifyingly beautiful animationand script work. This was both banal and boring. I didn't really likeMia Wasikowska in In Treatment, but she was brilliant in that showcompared to the cold "I am just going with it because I don't care"look in this film. Even Johnny Depp messed up with his inconsistentScottish accent. No, really, however I look at it, this film is anutter disappointment.

This review is from: Alice in Wonderland [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray) What a fantastic ride. I personally loved Tim Burtons version of this Alice in Wonderland and as always Mr. Depp delivers. Great cast and graphical effects. I recommend it.

Ever since the teaser was released, I have been eagerly awaiting thearrival of Tim Burton's new movie, Alice in Wonderland. I was alwaysexcited to see new footage, photos, behind the scenes previews and thesuch presented to the public. And from that, I knew what to expect fromwhat I've been waiting for for months.Lewis Carroll wrote two amazingly brilliant books in the late 19thcentury which have captivated many generations, and is considered aclassic throughout our cultures.As for the movie, it was visually stunning. Sometimes it didn't seem asif the environment was CGI. It was dreamlike, to say the most. Thedetail they put into everything was beautifully rendered. I reckon theydid a brilliant job.It was lovely to see these whimsical characters on the big screen onceagain. The performances and voice acting was well done. Although MiaWasikowska's portrayal of Alice may have seemed bland and wooden, Ireckon she did a fine performance. Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter was atreat, and a nice and interesting depiction for this hysterical, yetdark character. Helena Bonham Carter, in my opinion, stole the showwith her hilariously wicked performance as the Red Queen. She wasjoyous to watch. And not to forget Anne Hathaway, who played theethereal White Queen, who was surprisingly alright to say the least.The Knave, played by Crispin Glover, did a great job too. And thewondrously suave Cheshire Cat, played by the amazing Stephen Fry,really was one of the best things about the movie. And not to forgetthe March Hare, Absolom the Caterpillar, Tweedles, the White Rabbit andmany other wondrous characters, who's voice actors did a terrific job.The music was very Danny Elfman, and did create a wondrous atmospherethroughout the movie.Likes aside, here are what I found to be not so wonderful: The storywas weak, of course. It was rushed and lacked in parts. I wish theygave it more, like an extra half hour or so. Wasn't amazing, norhorrible, but wasn't great. It was okay, at least I was enthralled intothe movie. Though, it was predictable and cliché, but I wouldn't letthat be a bother. I wished too that they kept the wordplay from thebooks into the movie, to capture the essence of what made the booksremarkable and extraordinary.Overall, I enjoyed this movie for what it was: an entertaining ride. Ifthere had been more time and a bit of a tidy up, in my opinion, itwould've been breathtaking. Though, this is a movie you either love orhate. It is not one of Burton's greatest to date, but still, it is anenjoyable experience.I give it an 8/10 (though, it would actually be a 7.5).****/5 stars.
Joshua HUrley 10 May 2012
(And Alice came for the ride).This is not a remake of any Alice in Wonderland film. Nor is it a filmmade from the book. It is a re-imagining of the Lewis Carol story thatwill not appeal to everyone. It clumsily splices the two books ("Alice"and "Looking glass") together and the result is a film that somehowmanages to hang together and is actually quite entertaining.This film has almost everything against it. A Gothic director whodestroyed Charlie and the Chocolate Factor (though I am a fan of hisother work). A non existent set comprised of green screens that wouldmake even George Lucas have a fit . Matt Lucas' vocal talents. The listgoes on but while this film should be the worst thing ever to hit ourscreens it turned out to be pretty good.This film features Johnny Depp as the mad hatter (who's part in thetale has increased fourfold) and Mia Wasikowska (chosen for her"gravity") as Alice. Both pull off reasonable performances, however,Depp's acting can be cringing at parts and Mia can be wooden.My only other snipe at this film is the fact that it's not all thatchild friendly. Mr Burton this is a children's story, not Pan'sLabyrinth. Images such as a large creatures eyes being pulled out and alake of heads are among those I'm not too sure are suitable forchildren but there you go. So if you're in for a bizarre fantasy story that doesn't really makesense why not give it a go. I doubt you're gonna want to see a hundredtimes but the film is certainly one of the collection.

Like many other reviewers, I had high hopes for this film. Like manyother reviewers, I was disappointed.It is not that the film is "dark". Tim Burton's dark side is sometimesinspirational, sometimes powerful - indeed, Edward Scissorshand left mein a funk for about a week, an experience that others have had fromwhat I have gathered.But this film, with the exception of the last few minutes, falls flat.It generally meanders along for some reason.This is not to say that there are some decent moments in it. CertainlyJohnny Depp is fun to watch, although I get the feeling that I amwatching Jack Sparrow. Helen Bonham-Carter is interesting as the RedQueen, and Mia Wasikowska as Alice is fun to watch. A high point isCrispin Glover's portrayal as the Knave - I found myself interested inthe character. But Anne Hathaway as the White Queen was adisappointment, initially coming across as a being an air head ratherthan a genuine regal character.My other complaint is the general setting. Yes, it's CGI - but it feelsa lot like World of Warcraft to me.So, like others - I was disappointed.
Joe Morgenstern 04 May 2012
A succession of chases and fanciful combats, more akin to Dungeons & Dragons than to Carroll, leads to a peculiarly truncated climax. The 3-D effects are enjoyable, but the added depth can't make up for deficits in the concept or the plot.
kotrynamacca 29 April 2012
So, I just got back from seeing this film. Maybe film isn't the rightterm for it- maybe visual stunner is. Visually, it was quite an amazingride. The animals who talked, the strange evaporating cat, JohnnyDepp's crazy makeup, Helena Bonham Carter's big head, and the fantasticcolor and scenery...it made Wonderland quite wondrous. It was like avery vivid, crazy, and quite random dream. The characters werehilarious and truly fascinating, especially the March Hare! I thinkthat little skinny hare with that Scottish accent of his stole thewhole movie! Unfortunately, he had too few of lines! The best part ofthe movie was the animals. The Cheshire Cat, voiced so brilliantly byStephen Fry, was the most unforgettable character to be sure. AlanRickman also gave a quick, but meaty and satisfying performance as-none other than- a blue caterpillar! There was plenty of humor, and I think most viewers will agree with meon this. Helena Bonham Carter was the female actor who stole the showfrom the others- being Mia Wasikowska and Anne Hathaway. Bonham Carterhappens to be one of my favorite actresses because of her amazinguniqueness on screen. She has distinct looks, a great charisma, and ascreen-presence hardly surpassed by any other female actor. Though hercharacter may not have a great backstory, the character is understood.Bonham Carter provides for many laughs and good entertainment. Alice,played by Mia Wasikowska, was quite dry. There was no climax for hercharacter (well, there really was no climax in the whole movie), andshe did not change from beginning to end. All characters were static.Maybe the dryness wasn't Mia's fault...it's possible it was the faultof the script. Other than the fact she should have been more expressiveand emotional, there's not too much I can say that is a fault on herpart. Also, I understand working with CGI is very tough on actors, asthey don't see the characters they are talking to while filming as wesee them on screen. Talking into a blue-screen has its challenges forconveying full emotion and expression. However, I've still seen otheractors do much better jobs with CGI. Then, there was Anne Hathaway--theWhite Queen--who gave one of the poorest performances of the movie.Such a hollow and lacking portrayal that it hurt me to watch her. Sheadded no beauty, grace, sophistication, or allure to the White Queen.And her makeup! What happened there?? The makeup was so unflatteringthat it made an otherwise quite beautiful actress quite ugly! The whitehair did not work with the dark lips and jet black eyebrows. She lookedlike some sort of goth girl. Another awful performance was by CrispinGlover, who played Stayne. I don't think I've seen much worse an actorcan do than what he did on screen. It is sad that Tim Burton did notnotice his terrible acting... Now, we can talk about Johnny Depp's MadHatter. Let's face it- no other actor could have fit the role. Heplayed the Hatter to the best of his ability recognizing theshortcomings of the script itself. Basically, the Mad Hatter is insane.He's a crazy and whimsical character who needs to be as crazy as he canto stand out of (or to simply deal with) the craziness of all others.To live in a world like that, you'd have to be a bit mad oroff-your-rocker. Summarizing the role- he's a hatter who is mad!There's not much else to him...at least not much else that the scriptallows to really show. Depp plays him a bit confusingly and differingfrom moment to moment, but that is what the Mad Hatter is supposed tobe like. He's got his cute accents, his smart moments, his "wtf?"moments, his simply hilarious moments, his touching moments, and hisdark moments. And the makeup screams ACID TRIP! As for the clothes--you can't take them all in at once. Only at the end of the movie did Irealize the Hatter was wearing a kilt the whole time. Oh boy...theperformance was quite all over the place, but it worked for thecharacter, and I'm sure Depp meant to do everything he did and meant tocome off as he did. Being very familiar with Depp's work, I know whatgreat acting skill he has, and if a character comes off a certain way,Depp meant him to, and the director meant him to.So, as for the movie as a whole, it lacked a decent and well-organizedplot. And even for people (like me) who aren't very familiar with LewisCarroll's books, the story is very verrrryyy predictable. There are notwists or surprises. Without the visual effects, the movie would benothing. Certain characters also add a lot of substance to the movie.Alice in Wonderland is a concoction of beautiful and engaging sightswith humor and madness. That's what it is. It is not something thatwill mentally engage you. But, nevertheless, it will entertain you. Agreat movie to see on a Friday night after a long day at work. Youreyes are in for a treat! There is barely a purpose or message to thisfilm...just loads of eye-candy that will make you wish you lived inWonderland. It's a fantasy world that really comes alive in 3-D. Theplot will not impress you though. And some of the acting could be a lotbetter. And it isn't always a very smooth ride. Oh well... It's like adream! A dream world...a sort of land that is housed in yourimagination. It is random and weird, but creative and filled withenergy. I'm probably going to see it again in theaters...just to get asecond look and see if any of my opinions change. I don't really knowif it's worth another 13 bucks though.Well...7.5-8/10 because it definitely could be improved.

Alice in wonderland is not a masterpiece, nor is it a movie people will talk about for years to come but it is an amazing, and i mean truly amazing movie. The visuals were spectacular, mixed with a great story made it a great movie. But what made it an amazing movie was the acting, all the actors were perfectly chosen for their roles, and without them this movie wouldn't be what it is. Johnny Deep and Helena Bonham carter steel the show with their amazing performances. Overall this movie is great for everyone, you'll have a great time and if you take your kids they might learn a lesson or two from it.

I'm not even going to waist many words on this, I always had a thingfor Burton, I love his wife and love his favorite actor. But all oftheir talents are waisted on this one, it's just so soulless, it has nosoul what so ever. During watching the movie I found myself saying outloud, what the hell is wrong with you, Burton? I can imagine Burton,Carter and Depp having get togethers, drinking tea or wine or whateverso now they can seriously ask themselves that. What the hell is wrong?Visously stunning so hoo-rah for some other people in the crew butwithout the right direction, it all goes nowhere fast and this moviesproves that.
KiaraD4 26 April 2012
this movie was great and would recommend it to anyone who is looking toescape into another world.Johnny Depp's performance in this movie is very phenomenal especiallybecause he escapes into his character and is completely a differentperson. Also, Anne Hathaway's character really showed her soft side,and different skills of acting that she has. Helena was perfect to playthe red queen because of her fierce attitude. Her makeup was fantasticas well as Johnny Depp's. Tim Burton being the director helped make themovie what it is. His quirky weird style added that "umph" that madethe movie what it is.
