Tim Burton gets away pretty well with it.

Rating: 8/10 (15 April 2010)

This is a film I had been highly expecting, because I knew Burton would have the visual talent necessary to make this film believable. But, as the release date drew nearer, it seemed the storyline did not suit the visual kudos.
After seeing it, I can tell you that, even though several scenes are a bit incongruous in a Tim Burton movie, he did his best to deal with the script, which was basically a retelling of the story with a heroic fantasy premise, and make it an engrossing experience.
I ended up actually caring for the characters, Helena Bonham Carter being my favourite cast member here, and this Wonderland comes true anyway, at least as far as visuals go. Even though the story felt like a bizarre interpretation of Lewis Caroll's original masterpiece, it did blend into the scenes and all the material taken from the books, making it feel less irrelevant, and adding a fresh touch to Burton's own magnificent visual creation.
