It seem that every one asks if their mad. And, it seem that the best of people are. And, so if we are were in a good grope of people. And, so I see this movie a good lesson to learn by. I think it also shows how hard it can be for a women to step out on her own. And, the thinking it can take to make up her own mined. And, how most of us don't every want to be brave. And, how hard it is to step up. How hard it is to think about being brave. But, in the end She " Alice " was a grate Heroine. And, would think we all have to be brave and be a hero. No matter what place we are in life. Even the father was though of as being a wee bit out there. And, maybe we all are. And, should be love for suck. The inventiveness in us all may seem a wee bit strange and mad at time. And, even the Mad Hat a number of time was a un-sung hero. He save the White Queen, by pulling the horse away. And, helping Alice in the big fight seen. Yes, I think this is a great book or movie to learn by. First rate. Up right. Well played. And hard challenge to do better. And, if you know were the White Rabbit's hole is?? Tell me !!*****Read full review

This movie is a special effects extravaganza, along the lines of "Lord of the Rings." Especially at the end, the film borders on being a horror show. As such, it's not suitable for young children or even squeamish adults. Nevertheless, the story line and characters are interesting and quite a change from past editions of Alice. We found enough in this version to go ahead and order the sequel, "Through the Looking Glass." Most reviewers thought that production to be better all around so we'll keep an open mind and check it out. Meanwhile, the earlier production gets a mild thumbs up but not an enthusiastic endorsement.

OK, I had my doubts about this film. I will STILL watch the 1951 Disney classic above this one. I had doubts when "Pocahontas" was released in 1995. Turned out to be a great film. This film is good NOT GREAT. I have never read the Lewis Carroll book, just know the 1951 film. Of course, we do NOT have songs in this 1. You can always listen to the songs in the 1951 film. Depp, he has done this type of role before, so this was no stretch for him. Carter, Burton's girlfriend so that is how she keeps getting these parts in his film, good as the Red Queen. The big head bit….with special effects the way the are today this effect should have been done better. Hathaway needs Disney to get hit films. OK job as the White Queen with no screen time till 2cd half of film. Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum were a let down compared to the 1951 film. All the animated characters NOT even close to the classic film. The ending was bit of a let down. NOW, I find myself having to say this with recent Disney DVD releases. A line on the back of this DVD case describing the film "The extraordinary characters you’ve loved come to life richer and MORE COLORFUL THAN EVER". OK, Disney, if you are prompting how the film looks then why are you guys resorting to PLAIN SILVER DVD'S LIKE WHEN DVD'S CAME OUT IN THE LATE 1990'S? No chapter search list or any information on film inside. Disney has gone CHEAP & I just hate this.Read full review
For some reason I was compelled to buy this DVD after seeing the 3D version at the movies. Johnny Depp, I feel is the consummate actor of his generation. He has come a long way from the flicker of 21 Jump Street. Tim Burton has always been sort of hero guru to me because of his Independence and vision. His particular vision of his universe has titillated and inspired many a film maker and artist. Rightfully so, this latest joint effort of the Boys from another Universe having a look see into and at the world created by the genius of Louis Carrol and his warped insight into bedtime story telling was on the whole close to brilliant. I just find that this current fad being bandied about of being bombarded with 3D effect until my eye are bleeding and my head ready to explode a bit to much. This a seems to take away from the story and muddles the story telling a might to often. I feel that a little tighter editing would have served the situation and conveyed the film to its rightful place in the realm of great films...Read full review
From the devilish mind of Tim Burton comes a fascinating take on the story of Alice in Wonderland. Mia Wasikowska is Alice, only this take on Wonderland takes place 12 years in the future from the first time Alice visited Wonderland. Unsure of where she wants her life to go, Alice runs away from a gathering where she is supposed to become engaged. She follows the Rabbit to the Rabbit hole and falls down into Wonderland. From there the similarities of the story pretty much end. All the characters are the same, only it is years in the future and things in Wonderland have changed a lot. Tim Burton can take a simple fairy tale and turn it into a dark and twisted place that is so fascinating you cannot take your eyes off the screen. Johnny Depp gives a great performance as "the Hatter". The character he plays is far different than his character in Pirates of the Caribbean and it was a pleasure to watch him in this role. Other cast members include: Alan Rickman, Anne Hathaway, Crispin Glover, and Helena Bonham-Carte There will be those who think this movie is too different than all the other Alice stories, and there will be those who think this is to Dark and evil. I suggest you watch it yourself and make your own decision. I highly recommend this movie for anyone who loves a great story that captures your attention and holds it throughout the entire movie. I would also suggest that Parents watch this movie before allowing younger children to watch it and use your own judgement in allowing them to watch it. Get this one and add it to your collection, you will be glad you did.Read full review
