Review of Alice in Wonderland (2010) by David M — 15 Jan 2017
It will surprise most people that this movie is one of the top grossing films ever made as it sits alongside blockbusters like Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean & Toy Story on the box office score-board (#24 last time I checked {#44 with inflation}).
However, unlike them, it's one of the most forgotten & un-talked about "mega-hits" of the modern entertainment age. It even won 2 Oscars for Best Art Direction & Best Costume Design.
Many people say it's a fluke & they could well be right as it's a good movie by all means but noway does it reach the classic timeless status of all those films that rightfully earned all that green.
As Tim Burton's highest-grossing movie it's everything you'd expect from him; quirky, twisted, funny with moments of bedazzlement (if you're into a smothering of CGI) but it's heart & soul never fully reach the same level as the visual wonderment on screen.
Overall it's just missing that star-power-X-factor that most memorable classics have. Sorry Alice, but you just got lucky.
