Movie #198 "Alice in Wonderland" (Tim Burton's) was more adult than the Disney-version (some of that due to that evil Jabberwocky that looks like the alien creature, again (keeps reappearing in movie after movie) and yet this is another Disney version, just not animated. Well, not quite. I have to find out how they did Helena Bonham Carter's big head and small body. Exquisite and shines a whole new light on her catch-phrase: "Off with his head!:" And loved Johnny Depp, though Dave and I thought that the ship scene at the end (not giving anything away) should have had Alice meet up with Pirate Jack Sparrow, and thus it would end tongue in cheek. Loved all the creatures, loved the realism aspect, the creepiness as only Tim Burton can do, the clarity of the story, the creativity, though for my money, there could have been more play with words (like original book), but Burton excels with visuals, I get that. Really well worth seeing. And we didn't see it in 3D or Imax. In the film Alice suggests she's coming back maybe for another fall into that rabbit hole, so could there be a sequel on the horizon? hmmmm!
Average rating: 3.962
I would give it 3.8
