Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland Review
Pinoy Movie Blogger Reviews
The world down the rabbit hole of Alice in Wonderland is truly visually stunning, especially if you'll see it in 3D. Even for a world destroyed and terrorized by the of The Red Queen's tyranny and her "Jabberwock", Wonderland is still presented as both creative and dreamy, and at the same time seemingly realistic world that only Lewis Carroll has imagined it to be.
Some of the character's of the beloved Lewis Carroll novel "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass" makes a comeback and has been given much more exposure and emphasis on the film rather than just Alice's adventures. Almost all the beloved characters from the novel comes back to add color to the dark world that Wonderland came to be. Johnny Depp's portrayal of the Mad Hatter seemingly gave more of the human aspect (saner side) to the almost loony character from Carroll's novel. You will see what I am talking about and what role did The Mad Hatter portray in Burton's Alice.
There are a few barely noticeable bad cuts on the film which would make you wonder what could be that omitted scene? Also it is not really just for the kids as but the movie also appeals to the general public movie goer.

The Verdict
A movie blended with good humor, great visual presentation and superb acting, Alice in Wonderland is commendable for the young ones, young at hearts and people who haven't even read previous Alice in Wonderland or Through the Looking Glass literary pieces or seen classic movies.
If you are an enthusiastic and movie junkee like I am and you haven't even read the previous books or just barely knew the story then be prepare because after watching this film your curiosity will be hungry with anything and everything that concerns Alice in Wonderland. Where did the queen of hearts go? Is the Red Queen the Queen of Hearts? Walt Disney's 2010 Alice in wonderland movie will make you go back to the down the rabbit hole to the classic wonderland and through the looking glass just to know who the characters are.
Alice in Wonderland's movie soundtrack is entitled Almost Alice, and let me derived my conclusion from the soundtrack and my general review on the movie. It is almost an excellent movie but there are some questions that you'll eventually ask yourself or someone who knows the previous novels and that doesn't really mean that the movie delivered all that it has to see. You may blame me for not researching or failing to see the previous versions but it should have at least clarified some parts of the scene, but don't get me wrong about this. It is still a great 3D movie and with all of the positive remarks I noticed on it...
I gave Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland an almost perfect Four out of Five Mad Hatter Hats.
