Alice in Wonderland (2010) - It's a "Movie-Land" Spectacular Here at "Wonder-Land"!

Rating: 9/10 (10 November 2011)

Director Tim Burton is the perfect person to arrange a movie like this where he brings his own vision to the magical, colorful world of "Alice in Wonderland". I must say that I am impressed with this wonderful piece of work. This movie takes place, years after the original Disney animated classic, when Alice is 19 years old and can hardly remember the childhood memory of Wonderland, until she falls into the rabbit hole once again, where all the beloved surroundings and faces of Wonderland are met once again. "Alice in Wonderland" is by far one of the best movies of the year for many reasons. First, we have a magnificent, and charming vision brought to the screen by the wacky mind of Tim Burton, and the cast is pure gold to watch. Johnny Depp stole the whole show as the witty, charming, and extremely weird and crazy Mad Hatter. Helena Bonham Carter is hilariously enjoying as the Red Queen, Anne Hathaway is wonderful and beloved, Matt Lucas plays a brilliant two-character performance(s) as both Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Then, newcomer Mia Wasikowska is perfect and wonderful as Alice, with a lot of her charming charisma. Also, I was blown away throughout the movie by the breathtaking special effects, the colorful costumes, the memorable characters, the wonderful art direction, and the incredible story. I thought it all worked perfectly, in such a creative way. "Alice in Wonderland" is a beautiful re-telling of Lewis Carrol's beloved children's story, and Tim Burton was the perfect director to put it all together. "Alice in Wonderland", in my review, "a beautiful and wonderful cinematic masterpiece of the year".
