Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland Movie Review

Okay I’m not up on all the internet technical abbreviations but I think the one that describes Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland best is oh OMG! Normally I wouldn’t be into seeing this kind of movie. Alice in Wonderland isn’t my type of movie, but my daughter, Lil’ Chica, was begging me to see it. I was shocked at the creativity of this movie.
The good:
First thing, the trailers didn’t do it justice. I went to this movie thinking that I would see a creepy sort of scary version of Alice in Wonderland, but what I got was a fantastic adventure into a world of excitement. From the minute Alice goes down the rabbit hole, the excitement and intrigue doesn’t stop. Tim Burton spared no expense with the making of this movie. The colors were vibrant,the costumes were inventive and creative, and the 3-D used in the movie made the world of Wonderland an incredible experience. The story for the movie is loosely based on The Looking Glass series which took the Alice mythos to new heights. By the time the movie ended I found myself wondering if they were going to make a part two because I wanted more. I think the best thing about this movie was that you cared about all the characters; from Johnny Depp’s brilliant performance as the Mad Hatter, to the Red Queen. What Tim Burton achieves with this movie and a script is a great reinvention of an old tale.
The bad:
My daughter Lil’ Chica and I got to the movie a little late and had to sit in the front row of an ultra screen theater. Man, my neck and head were killing me after the movie. I guess the only thing I can find that’s bad with this movie is the promotion of this movie. The commercials and trailers make it seem like one of Tim Burton’s eerie nightmares when, in reality, it’s a fantastic tale of girl empowerment .
This movie is definitely for the whole family. I not only enjoyed it for myself, but I massively enjoyed watching it with my daughter. When she left that theater she was filled with confidence and pride that a girl can overcome anything and control her own destiny.
I would give this movie for 4.5 out of 5 stars

In terms of trailers vs. actual film, I expected something more scary or darker, and the result was similar to my expectations when I had seen the trailer for Pan’s Labyrinth (remember that one??) I also wanted something more out of the plot after reading on infloox about Lewis Carroll’s influence on Tim Burton, but found it just a bit off the mark.
