Review of Alice in Wonderland (2010) by Harry W — 19 Apr 2016

I think Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is genuinely one of the greatest stories ever told and its a shame to have seen Tim Burton slaughter it like he did. As always he puts his gothic spin on things which is great most of the time, but in this case its really not great at all because I don't think Wonderland has room for a gothic spin.

He retains most of the whimsy and colour, but dabbles in a different corner of surrealism that isn't fit for the story and it ruins it. There's no heart or excitement whatsoever and some of it is just bizarre, and not in a good way.
