Finally, Alice in Wonderland in 3D...
 

It says that this moive has already out reached Avatar. I too had been expecting a lot on it, but it turned out disappointed me in the end. :(
It's no doubt a challenge to the original novel, and I have no problem with it. However, the playing appears to me to be a bit inconsistant with the realistic yet fantanstic special effects. If it was not for the 3D, I told my friend on our way home from the theatre, it'd be a very plain movie in itself.
Becareful with what you wish for. That's what I've learned.

Someone disappointed with a Tim Burton movie? Craziness.

I enjoyed the heck out of it. I love how it strives to be a Disney sequel rather than appease the literary purists. Burton could never disappoint me.

I liked Alice in wonderland better when it was called Corpse Bride and I liked that better when it was called Nightmare Before Christmas and I liked that better when it was called Edward Scissorhands and I didn't like that movie to begin with.

Yessss!!1! Thats all true!

**** Burton.

I just saw the movie a couple of days ago, and felt it was simply alright.




::HERE BE SPOILERS::

I wasn't overly excited over it to begin with, because I've never been much of a fan of "Alice in Wonderland", so I didn't go into the movie with high expectations.

I thought it looked like an "okay" movie, and (to me) that's just what it was.

I connected more with the characters in this movie than I had in the old animated Disney movie, and thought they were all far more likable and interesting this time around. And I really enjoyed the newer characters as well. I can't think of a single character in Underland that I didn't like to be honest.

The Red Queen was frightening and amusing at the same time, and yet...I found myself feeling sorry for her throughout the movie, despite her horrible actions.

I thought the Hatter was very interesting, and loved his mood swings (complete with different accents and personality). I loved his relationship with Alice, the protective brotherly figure he was to her, and was honestly sad that they had to part ways at the end (I had hoped he'd sneak back to the Real World with her...)

I've noticed a lot of fans ship Alice/Hatter, but (aside from maybe one scene that might be interpreted as such) I just didn't view it that way. Their relationship came across as an innocent and loving friendship, not a romance (although, I have heard that in the original script they were going to be a couple...perhaps that's why fans ship them?)

I really wish we saw more of the White Queen, and more of I found that bit in the movie to be rather rushed and a bit confusing, and would have liked that to have been a bit more fleshed out. The White Queen herself I thought was pretty interesting, and I wanted to see more of her than we did.

The "coming of age/facing your fears and responsibilities" story in this movie was pretty predictable, but enjoyable regardless, and I liked that

Is it over-hyped? Heck, yeah!

Was it bad? Far from it! (just my opinion)

The movie could have been better, sure . However, I liked it and am glad I saw it in theaters. And may add it to my dvd collection in the future.
