Not Bad! But not as good as previous Tim Burton's movies.

Rating: 10/10 (20 August 2010)

Well, overall the film is good to watch. It will give you a NEW EXPERIENCE if you have already been through 'Alice in Wonderland' stories/movies. Helena Carter and Johnny Depp are as good as they always are, especially when they are teamed together to work in a Tim Burton movie. The only thing upsetting is Mia Wasikowska, and that's the thing that messed up everything. I mean, she is 'Alice', the main character of the movie. It's not that she is all a bad actress, but looks like the role didn't suite her perfectly well. I'm a great fan of Tim, Johnny and Helena, and I'm sad to know that I didn't enjoy this movie as much as I did their previous efforts.
About the story I will say it started good. But it would have been more fun if this was not about WAR OF SISTER QUEENS. I mean, it could bring more emotion to the story if that was about freedom. In fact, looks like they missed the main spot where viewers were supposed to be emotionally connected to the story of battle. They did it rather quickly and did not show much to bring the right connection. Through watching the movie, I was more interested to see the environment and new characters, and did not care much about the War and the Battle. It was already exposed more than enough that Alice is going to slay the Jabberwock, which seemed to bring the concept of why Alice was brought down to Underland. I think there is serious trouble with Linda Woolverton's Writing. With such a marvelous Direction, Graphics and great bunch of actors, there could have been much more to this movie.
Call me a strict Judge for giving it 5/10. Somewhat might enjoy this movie greatly to give it 7+, but it could have been a lot better than this. And for me, Tim Burton's efforts has gone to vein because of Linda's script and Mia's bad role.
