It should have been called "Return to wonderland"

Rating: 4/10 (14 March 2010)

Usually, I like quite a lot the Burton/Depp partnership work. I have to say though, that this movie its quite poor regarding the script and also the characters. Its about a re experience of Alice in Wonderland when she is 20 years old and about getting a proposition to get married. Revisiting wonderland, all the original characters from Alice in Wonderland and Through the glass mirror reappear, taking action in a somehow similar way as Alice in Wonderland. It adapts many ideas from the original book but some are done right and others are simply stunning surreal images with a plot that has no creativity at all, when compared to other children alike movies. The only thing that saves it are the parts that are like an extraction from the original Carroll's books. It usually lacks the logic plays, the absurd humor and the astonishment of another world, that could be the grown ups world metaphorically speaking, but from the perspective of a child. The music id from the famous Danny Elfman from the Simpsons and it doesn't fail. Though somehow overplayed, the best performances from the cast are Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen. In summary, If you are looking for visuals and nothing deep go see it. If you are looking for a good script and witty conversation, a good adaptation from Carroll's masterpieces, you will be disappointed.
