Alice in Wonderland is a continuation of the original Alice in Wonderland movie released back in 1951. The new rendition was released on March 5th, 2010 and had built up quite a reputation for itself even before the release date. Much of this hype was due to the fact that Johnny Depp was cast as the mad hatter and this brought along his “fanboy” crowd into this new movie.

Once again, I don’t do many movie reviews, but I felt the need to go over this one because it had such huge hype behind its release and I just wanted to share my honest opinion about the film.
To start, I thought the storyline was weak and fairly confusing to be honest. I was a bit confused going into this movie, because I didn’t do any research on it before going and I thought it was supposed to be a remake of the original not a continuation of it. This made the first half of the movie very confusing and I thought it was horrible, but then when I realized it was a continuation of the original story it gave it a little more credit.
As far as casting goes, I think all of the actors did a very good job with their parts and this, by far, was the strongest point of the movie. The only thing I was a little disappointed about in this area was that Johnny Depp wasn’t as much into his character as I expected. With all of the hype he brought to this movie, I expected more than was received, but I guess it is what it is and this wasn’t too big of a flaw in my opinion.
Next up, we have graphics, animation, CGI, special effects and all that good stuff. Now, I went to see Alice in Wonderland mainly for the same reason I went to see Avatar, for all the hard work put into the graphical design and green screening. I really enjoy this part of movies and always try to observe and learn from how movies did or didn’t do things in this area. As far as Alice in Wonderland goes, a phenomenal job was done in this aspect and I have no complaints whatsoever. All the graphical renderings were beautiful and I can’t remember any rough edges or any places where someone slacked off in this area.
Last, but not least, now is whether I recommend or do not recommend going to see this film. My honest opinion to you is that if you’re going to take your child to see Alice in Wonderland, I would say maybe, but I would say the original would be more enjoyable to them. As far as you going with other adults or people your age, I guess just going because the original Alice in Wonderland was a part of your childhood is enough of a reason to check it out, but I would say do not get your hopes up because this film was not up to my expectations.
Excellent Info. Tweeted about it. I bookmark this post too.
I had some difficulty viewing the website in Safari on Linux, but apart from that loved the site.
