I heart Tim Burton's AIW

Rating: 9/10 (7 March 2010)

Tim Burton has never failed me. When he creates something I know what to expect, sometimes its evil, and sometimes is just fun. Think of a children's movie with a slight edge. I have a few problems with this movie, the first of them being the title. It is in fact not the same Alice in Wonderland story you all hope to seem it is in fact the second story, Through the Looking Glass. Its a bit darker than the original, but it is highly kid friendly.
The second half of the movie does seem to lack a bit in 3D effects, however it was totally worth it in my opinion, wouldn't watch it in 2D again if given the choice.
And lastly the White Queen, she is supposed to be dainty, however she comes across as awkward and robotic.
As far as the other characters go, Alice grew on me quite fast, she is a bit off-putting. Love the Mad Hatter and the door mouse. The red queen (as Helen always is) is fabulously funny and not too annoying as some bad guys tend to be. The knight could have been better, but his part is not so big it would effect my opinion or rating. Love the tweedles and the caterpillar.
The CGI is fabulous as well, i was not put off by it in any way, it seemed to fit in flawlessly with the rest of the movie.
I love this movie, gonna buy it when it comes out and may see it in the theater again. If you know the story and if you know Tim Burton or just one or the other, you should know this is a great movie, but don't judge it unless you see it for what it is, a family friendly PG rated, slightly dark but light movie.
