Tim Burton does it again!

Rating: 6/10 (19 October 2010)

Tim Burton really knows how to deliver a very unique story with a dark tone which make it all the more interesting and realistic. I loved the tone of them film as it added drama and suspense to the film. The CGI effects were really good and the whole film was visually appealing. Tim Burton really captured the concept of Wonderland and allowed us to be transported into that world to escape from reality. The characters were really good: Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter (he really engaged into being a fickle character and you really liked his character) Helen as the Red Queen (Bold, sharp, evil, a very good portrayal of the Red Queen) Anne Hathaway as the White Queen (initially hard to relate to, as the film progresses her character becomes more appealing) and Alice (not the strongest character but still a character worth taking notice of) and all the rest of the characters were enjoyable to watch. However i wish they focused a bit more on the world of Wonderland. It is a place of strangeness, fantasy and imagination yet the film focused little on that aspect and instead on how Alice is finding it hard to remember when she was least there. Of course its great Tim Burton paid attention to character and plot but maybe with the added value of exploring the surroundings and taking in the imagination and fantasy of it all would have made the experience much better. But all in all a very enjoyable watch with action, substantial characters and great effects! (plus its a clean movie which is great)
