Alice in Wonderland:

The movie was done well and for the most part entertaining. As a big fan of American McGee's Alice, I had seen on a few forums that Tim Burton had bought the rights and was going to make a movie of it.

I must say though, if this is Tim's version of the game, he never played or saw it. I was disappointed in this aspect. I think the plot lines and action would have been far better.

Once the movie started and the scenes leading up to Alice being in Wonderland made me think of Wizard of OZ and that the people in Alice's life were going to be characters in Wonderland. I think THAT would have made a good storyline, if done right.
This wasn't a bad movie and they in a way left it open for a sequel, which if done right could be interesting but in all honesty, I think it would be hard to do.

The 3D versions at our cinema were sold out all weekend but the 2D was selling only half full. I saw it in 2 D and didn't see many places 3D would have added to the movie that much except as a sales ploy. But 3D seems to be the trend now to get people into the cinemas.

Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham were good as ever. The actress playing the White Queen seemed a good fit and Alice herself was surprisingly good. The scenery for the most part was very colorful and light, not the usual dark we get from Burton.

Great kids movie... so so for adults.

9.5/10 for kids 7.5 maybe 8/10 for adults.
