Not great but has great moments.

Director Tim Burton seems like the right person to direct Alice in Wonderland. He does a good job with it. Just a shame that it's not a remake of the original. If it was, then it would've been a lot better than it actually was. But I will admit that it was better than his film Charlie and the chocolate factory.
Mia Wasichouska(I think that's how you spell it) stars as an older Alice. Who is engaged to be wed. While at a party, she sees the white rabbit and follows it into the whole where she ends up at you know where.
There she encounters some old friends, like The Mad Hatter(played strangely by Johnny Depp),the White Rabbit(voiced by Michael Sheen),Tweedle Dee and Dumb, The Caterpillar,and others from the original tale.
But nothing is good. The Red Queen(played by Helena Bonham Carter, who I love),reigns terror in Wonderland. So it is up to Alice to stop The Red Queen. There are new characters, like Crispin Glover, who plays The Red Queen's giant assistant and Anne Hathaway as The Red Queen's sister.
Alice in Wonderland is undeniably fun and is a visual treat especially in the third dimension. But my main problem with it is that it's not a remake.They remake everything that they get their hands on besides a good idea. Burton's Wonderland is a good film, no doubt, but doesn't have what I wanted. I am not bashing it though. Alice in Wonderland,though with a few flaws, is a lot of fun.
Alice in wonderland: 4/5
