entertaining new version of a children's story

Rating: 7/10 (23 November 2010)

I liked this movie, but it isn't for really young kids. It would probably scare them. But for older kids and adults, it was very entertaining. The visuals were top notch, and the film included all the main characters Alice meets in Wonderland. I especially thought Tweedle dee and dumb were so cute and deserved more screen time. The other great character was the red queen. Her appearance was perfect and when we see her court are wearing disguises to make them look as unattractive as her, that was funny.
The battle between Alice and the Jabberwocky was cool as far as visuals, but we knew how it would turn out. I also liked the humor involving Hamish. It just helped to make the story a little different than other versions.
FINAL VERDICT: It's not to long and worth watching.
