    Classic Tim Burton with great acting. Everyone in this movie looked like they were having so much fun doing it and it showed. We saw this in Digital 3d and to be honest the 3d may not even have been needed. It looks like digital screening of this would suffice. It would be a wond... read moreerful visual feast.

    If your prepared to mix Tim Burton's endless imagination with a 200 million dollar budget your never going to get a film that's absolutely perfect. The intriguing thing about the mega budget Alice in Wond... read moreerland is the overall look of the film is like a bunch of bits from everything Tim Burton has ever done, compressed and stretched and then mashed up together into one creepy in the wrong way movie. It's undeniable that the settings and the fantasy backgrounds are as great as they possibly could be but you get a real sense that the film is trying to do nothing more than play with your eyes, mind f**k you beyond belief and then take your money and run. It's not entirely dull or terrible but the heart was drained out of the original story completely and without the substance it's Burton at his most industrialised.

    The OG "Alice in Wonderland" cartoon edition, was a movie that kinda puzzled me. I didn't understand why it had such a large following behind it because it was transparently obvious that there were many drug references with some of the most strangest ideas. The live action versio... read moren comes along and I've gotta say, there are two things in this movie that are superbly done: Johnny Depp's acting and the cinematography. Johnny Depp, who plays as the Mad Hatter, is so engrossed in the character that you can hardly recognize that it is Johnny Depp. Absolutely phenomenal. The cinematography is pitch-dark with rich and vibrant colors and ideas. However, the plot fails to steer the audiences into its story correctly due to poor emphasis on key plot elements and hard-to-hear dialogue. After a second viewing with subtitles, I understood what the movie was trying to shoot for, but sadly, it failed.

    I kinda liked it. Interesting adaptation, though a little too inappropriate to be PG. I could not imagine watching this movie with the children I babysit.

    I liked it, but I feel like it did not pay enough homage to the original. In that sense this film is flawed.

    Alice in Wonderland is a boring and unimaginative film, its dark and weird, but the effects are still amzing. Alice (Mia Wasikowaska) falls down a rabbit hole and is brought to world called Wonderland, and is told by the things there she is the savior to the evil Red Queen (Hele... read morena Bonham Carter). The plot was boring, cheesy, and stupid, and is truly not a step up for Burton. The cast, escpically Mia, are very boring and dull, and the voice acting wasn't that great either, except from Rickman as the caterpillar. The effects and music and makeup are the highlight of the film, but that is not enough to save a failure of a film. Alice in Wonderland is a bad movie, but its not completely hopeless.

    It was ok, but that's about it. I got bored after a while and was suprised it was only an hour and 49 minutes long. It seemed much longer and dragged on far too long than it should have. Average.

    Yuck, this movie is a) really boring and long, b) really disgusting and CGI-masturbatory, and c) kind of mean spirited. I'm really sad about this too because I had really looked forward to seeing this.

    A gothic reboot of the infamous Lewis Carroll tale and Disney Movie. This version catches back up with a 19-year old Alice,played by Mia Wasikowska, returning to the land of the Cheshire Cat she visited as a child. Seen through the eyes of Tim Burton, this should be quite the tri... read morep, indeed......and it is~!!!!!!

    I didn't hate this film but I didn't particularly enjoy it either. There are many things I liked about it, the majority of the special effects were very good, I loved Stephen Fry's Cheshire Cat and who would have thought, Barbara Windsor in a Tim Burton film? I liked that they in... read morecluded elements of Through the looking glass too, although a faithful sequel would have been good but that brings me to what I did disliked the most about this film. Lewis Carroll wrote a wonderful story that people have enjoyed for generations. Why rewrite it? Now, Alice in Wonderland has been adapted through film and animation many times since it was written, it is one of those storeys that seems to really inspire artists working in lots of different mediums and it's always interesting to see new and imaginative imagery inspired by the story. Tim Burton is almost a genres in his own right, his visual style is recognisable world wide, so I wonder then why he reverted to the original Disney version for so much of the imagery? Has he completely sold out? I still consider myself a fan of his but at this rate I won't be for long. Not without charm but overall a disappointment.

Its single biggest failing -- an affront to Lewis Carroll and the charms of nonsense literature -- is the fact that it makes sense. Full Review

The true three-dimensionality here is the old-fashioned kind -- Wasikowska's fully rounded performance. Throughout the technical razzle-dazzle, we keep returning to the pallor of that face, the gravit... Full Review

A film adaptation should, of course, treat its source material as inspiration rather than dogma. But did Burton have to get the books so entirely wrong? Full Review

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 f... Full Review

IBurton and Woolverton pursue a message of self-fulfilment, not as vigorously as they might chase a rabbit but to the same delightful end. Full Review

You leave the theater with a pleasant grin on your face, but by no means is it as wide as the Cheshire Cat's, and that's a shame. Full Review
