It's fun, but it handles itself much better inside Wonderland than outside. After all that, what was the marvelously insane idea that her father had? International trade routes. Yeah.

When Tim Burton gets it right, he is fantastic (Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas). But there is no denying he has also made some bad films (the corny Mars Attack and the cringeworthy Planet of the Apes). The bad news is this does not belong to the former lot. The oddness and the smart real world allusions that made Alice great is somehow lost to a cliched story. It is a visually great but very middle-of-the-road film.

This is just a horrible film. I was really looking forward to this film but almost every aspect and thing about it was just terrible! The acting is mediocre and everyone acts bored, I am quite surprised by how well Johnny Depp is still able to play the SAME character in his last few films. The story is just simple, go defeat the red queen but in the film they give the most idiotic character choices and traits by Alice. Deciding to save the Mad Hatter after only knowing him for ten minutes. This

great visuals. the rest ain't that great unfortunately.

Curious and curiouser, Burton's adaptation on wonderland is indeed a mixed bag. The start is solid and the Burtonesque design works. For all the frills and whistles, Alice does get less impressive as it goes along. Climax struggles due to this. Mad Hatter Depp does what he does in a bunch of good voice actors with Stephen Fry the Cheshire Cat being the standout.

Beautiful, fun, and very trippy. Parts of it, however, make absolutely no sense, for good reason, but it's still too distracting at a few points along the track.

DISASTERPIECE. They spent so much money on making this a visually beautiful film, but they had such a terrible script to work with that no godly amount of artisan craftsmanship was going to salvage it. Acting was passable, and there were several scenes with good physical comedy. Scene transitions were laughably bad. It's worth watching if only for the Cheshire Cat, the best part of the film.

eh

Oh good, CGI fantasy armies charging each other. Because I haven't seen that ten times a year since Lord of the Rings came out.

Tim Burton is what people call a visionary master. He creates worlds that are vastly different then one we live in and that is why we love his films. Burton continues to make eye popping films with stellar performances because he has the help of a relatively familiar cast. Depp is out of this world insane, Bonham Carter is crazy. And even the new comer Mia Wasikowska is good in an innocent way. Alice is a fun loving free spirit and Burton captures that brilliantly. A solid film that is magical

Tim Burton's Alice sacrifices the book's minimal narrative coherence -- and much of its heart -- but it's an undeniable visual treat.

a lot to look at, but little to think about

Tim Burton is great in creating this strange surrealistic atmospheres and worlds. Wonderful to see and visually quite perfect.Costumedesign too was excellent. I really loved the absurdness in this film and Depp as the Mad Hadder contributes to this. He's great as his wacky self.On the other hand Tim Burton creates an almost entirely new Wonderland, new creatures, new plots and I don't really know if I like these changes.Towards the end it seems to me that the plot never matches the weird newness

it would be tempting to say the dance scene ruined this film but that would be untrue. most of the film ruined it.

Though unable to see this in 3D, the film still had depth to it which is a sign of good direction. The rabbit hole sequence was clearly intended to exploit the 3D technology. The style of meddling with proportions was a bit hard to accept at first but after a while it clicks. Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter is suitably mad in an almost dark sense but the character provides a good level of comic relief to lift the spirit of the film. There is also a rather uncomfortable theme of poking eyes out!

não me atrai muito, mas é legal de ver!!!

Okay Movie

One of the biggest and most spectacular of failures I have seen in recent years, Alice in Wonderland is Burton's attempt to make Carroll's story for the goth crowd. The father issues continue, as do the themes of isolation and "individuality" (basically being pale and childlike passes as different in Burton's book). Johnny Depp also gives another gut-wrenching performance while the plot goes nowhere. Easily Burton's worst film he's ever made. Don't waste your money.

Great voice work and, uhh... insanity is kinda humorous I guess. Burton should never stoop to this sort of brainless eye-candy again.

This didn't really do much for me. Somehow the wonder just never worked for me, the humour never really worked either, Matt Lucas annoys the shit out of me, the plot goes nowhere and is rather bland. It just fell short, in every way. And Depp's little dance in the end was just totally and utterly misplaced and stupid. What on Earth has happened to Burton? He used to amaze and entertain me, but lately he's lost some of his magic. I loved Alan Rickman tough, as always.

What a mess. It's like they took the most conventional character arcs possible and jammed them into a blender with Carroll's delightful characters and several hundred million dollars. What poured out was astoundingly boring. A lot of these characters are neither likeable nor as bizarre and iconic as they should be. I enjoyed the Cheshire Cat and the Bandersnatch very much, but fudderwacken made me want to reach into the screen and shoot everyone out of anger and pity.

The 3-D is the best I've ever seen, which is why I say "As a movie, this is a great theme park ride." But all of Tim Burton's movies are beginning to sound and look alike, and grafting Tamora Pierce teen gal empowerment crap onto Lewis Carroll is both stupid and offensive. Oh, and Tim? The name of the POEM is Jabberwocky. The name of the MONSTER is The Jabberwock.

Good acting and voice acting (Stephen Fry was amazing) combined with a meh plot. Not dark enough for wonderland, Alice is somehow transformed into an amazing fighter (not sure what she ate/drank in order for that to happen) and did anyone else notice the animals that were supposedly the Red Queen's captives just kept coming and going from her palace as if no one kept them in check?

What did the early Burton movies have in common, were they deep or complex? I guess not, but they had a real appreciation for the strange and bizarre with rich textures,imaginative details. And they managed to investigate the nature of coping with difference. This postmodern modification of the century old story only has a figment of those qualities, even the plasticised aesthetics is artificial. I think Burton had consumed too much of the pill that makes him small and minor.

If someone could explain to me why this movie has such a title and what it has to do with Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll I would appreciate this.

had potential to give us more. unfortunately we only got a small taste of what Tim Burton's version of Wonderland could have been if more fully realized..

Visually, Burton's own specially recreated Alice in Wonderland is great. His world features his signature craft and flairs of oddness, curiosity, perplexity, virtuosity and artistry in his large vigorous version of the classic film. Other elements of the film just don't quite mix together. The film slowly obliterates and self-destructs after the beginning, mostly from the overall quality of the tasteless and absolutely spiritless plotline. Depp has a good performance though. Disappointing.

I'm not sure what happened here. This should have been a fantastic film...but it fails to deliver somehow. The plot seems to go nowhere, and isn't really very interesting in the first place. The finale just seems to lack the "oomph" it needs, too, and generates very little excitement in the viewer. The film does its best to make up for this, however, with absolutely gorgeous imagery and some brilliant voice overs. Depp's performance is great, too. Worth watching, but don't expect much.

A warrior, a merchant decides or shapes her own destiny half naked at times, i thought Alice in wonderland was supposed to be a family movie this one should be rated R according to its meanings. free the girls everybody sick Burton very stupid movie.

Some excellent performances, such as the one turned in by Crispin Glover, were obscured by a weak story and a dreadful turn by Johnny Depp.

The non-Wonderland segments were horrid, and frankly the plot was way too predictable, but the art direction in Wonderland and the performances (especially Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen) were enough to make it a good experience.

I don't know why so many people idolatres Tim Burton, his movies have no heart, just a lot of make-up, perfumes, but this movie is the worst, no good history, no interesting characters, just a lot of CGI, wich makes the movie look likes a video game, a big fat disap­pointment.

Very trippy. I hate to say it, but it almost got boring.

A half-baked script and a phoned-in effort from Burton.

Why Burton would take one of the most unique and strange stories ever written and turn it into a boring by the number LoTR ripoff confuses an enrages me.

'Alice in Wonderland', directed by Tim Burton, was like one of those super-fights that promises to be legendary, but ends up being a total waste of time and hype. 'Alice' and Burton's styles meshed together so well that anything less than brilliant would be an upset. 'Alice' barely decent, let alone brilliant. It's hard to care what happens to these characters or Wonderland. From the moment you meet, they foresee a big fight at the end. When it finally comes, you're more relieved than satisfied.
