Review of Alice in Wonderland (2010) by Thomas H — 11 May 2013

I'm used to watching new movies on smaller movie theater screens since as long as can remember. For the 1st time I saw a movie in IMAX 3D and that movie was Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Before it played, I got to experience my first IMAX 3D experience as it showed previews of upcoming movies: How to Train Your Dragon and Tron Legacy.

It almost made nauseous and hurt my eyes a little, but I got thru with it, along with the film. As for the movie, I thought this was a very visual and entertaining movie. I enjoy watching Tim Burtonâ??s movies.

He is an absolute genius with what he does. Way before I saw this movie, I remember seeing the posters of the characters. And the first time I saw Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter, I thought he looked very creepy because of his eyes.

But I was wrong. I thought Depp was very funny to watch because he kept me smiling throughout the film. He too is an absolute genius. For Helena Bonham Carter and Anne Hathaway, I thought they were both fantastic as the two rival sister queens: The tyrant and big headed Iracebeth of Crims aka The Red Queen (Bonham Carter) and The kind, lovely, and eccentric Mirana of Marmoreal aka The White Queen (Hathaway).

Crispin Glover (Charlieâ??s Angels) I thought was good as The Knave of Hearts. I loved how Burton got some of the U.K.â??s biggest actors for this film: Alan Rickman (Die Hard) as Absolem the Caterpillar, Timothy Spall (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street) as the bloodhound Bayard Hamar, Michael Sheen (Frost/Nixon) as The White Rabbit, Stephen Fry (V For Vendetta) as Chessur the Cheshire Cat, comedian Matt Lucas as Tweedledee and Tweedledumb, And Christopher Lee (Star Wars: Episode II â?? Attack of the Clones) as the vicious and nasty dragon The Jabberwocky.

And letâ??s not forget Mia Wasikowska. I thought she was really good as Alice. All I got to say is that Director Tim Burtonâ??s version of Alice in Wonderland is a spectacular fantasy adventure movie that I think both kids and grownups of all ages should see and would enjoy it as I did.
