Definitely a Film worth seeing

Rating: 7/10 (9 March 2010)

I wanted to start off by saying that the visuals were great. The 3D definitely could have been better, but I still enjoyed it and am glad that I saw it in 3D rather than regular. I think Depp did a great job creating the Mad Hatter Character. As for the plot, many people claimed that it was too boring and simple. Personally I had no issue with the plot as it kept me entertained throughout the entire movie. Alice wasn't acting surprised in the new world because she believed she was dreaming and creating it all in her mind. And when this plot is compared to the original 1951 version it was certainly an improvement. For those who believe it was too simple just look back at the original. The whole plot was that she wandered off after a white rabbit and got lost before running down a tunnel of smoke and escaping all her problems by telling herself to wake up. At least this movie was moving towards a climax and resolution in where she realizes that Wonderland was a parallel to the current issue she was facing in the real world and by overcoming the dangers in wonderland she also found the answer she was looking for. Burton and Depp are still doing a great job, people just have way too high expectations for them these days. Overall great and worth seeing in theaters.
