I watched this on Sunday, I know this has been slated in reviews but I can't understand why. I thought it was great, would watch it again tomorrow, some funny moments in it also. Good harmless fun all around!

Not amazing but certainly well worth watching.

8 1/2 out of 10 from me.

This is probably one of the most disappointing movies I have seen in a few years. Alice in Wonderland should have been something up Tim Burton's alley, and instead he turned it into something it wasn't. He should have taken over the screenplay from Linda Woolverton (whoever that is) and created darker, more dimensional characters; instead, what we get is Tim Burton for kids. I would have preferred his take on Lewis Carroll's novel rather than a rehash of every Hollywood fantasy film. I thought the younger Alice in the film looked the part of the original illustrations and would have been perfect for the role. Depp ruined the Mad Hatter with his accent and incoherent speech, Burton ruined the Mad Hatter with his ugly costume design. Quick edit: I was disappointed to not hear Hatter shout "Change places!" I understand he is saddened by resent events, but even a mumbled, sad, "Change places" would have been nice to hear and keep his character intact through a simple and effective effort.

The charm behind Carroll's novel is that there really isn't much of a story, but rather a series of random and always bizarre events that are colorful and imaginative. You start to gain the sense that Alice really is in a peculiar land and at times you even often pity her. With her return to Wonderland the life behind everything the novel created almost evaporated. I say almost because the Cheshire Cat steals the show and truly did save the the film. Regardless, I would have much preferred a stop-motion attempt (The Nightmare Before Christmas) from Tim Burton rather than the use of actors and actresses to portray Carroll's characters. What we're left with because of this is unnecessary, though beautiful, CGI and a lot of it. At the very least the mood atmosphere of Edward Scissorhands would have been a delightful treat.

In a sentence: If Tim Burton would have made this film eight to ten years ago, it would have been a masterpiece, instead it's another trite film based on a delightful and well-read novel.

5/10

Good movie and 3D effects are excellent. But somewhere the flavor of the first movie is missing. But the response of the people is excellent. Alice in Wonderland is still in the top position in BOX OFFICE Since last 4 week.

I was planning to watch this in 3D in the the very huge IMAX cinema there. Unfortunatley, it was scheduled to be shown the week after my flight back home to Sweden. I might still watch it sometime soon.

I think it's a nice movie. Not the best, but really cute! I watched it with my friends little girl and we had a great time!
