Tim Burton's Alice sacrifices the book's minimal narrative coherence -- and much of its heart -- but it's an undeniable visual treat. Read critic reviews

Disney's is kind of a tepid liberal feminism, but that's far more badass and entertaining than no feminism at all.

It's horribly generic. This is a Disney film and it feels like a Disney film, whereas I'd hoped it would feel like a Tim Burton film.

Though visually stunning, Alice In Wonderland is more funny than anything else (thanks mostly to Depp's Mad Hatter).

The imposition of a fairytale quest structure turns the surrealist wanderings (and wonderings) of a free-associating dreamer into a brusque crash-zoom, as Alice hurtles towards her appointment on the good-versus-evil battlefield.

Audience Reviews for Alice in Wonderland

Apr 20, 2016I think Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is genuinely one of the greatest stories ever told and its a shame to have seen Tim Burton slaughter it like he did. As always he puts his gothic spin on things which is great most of the time, but in this case its really not great at all because I don't think Wonderland has room for a gothic spin. He retains most of the whimsy and colour, but dabbles in a different corner of surrealism that isn't fit for the story and it ruins it. There's no heart or excitement whatsoever and some of it is just bizarre, and not in a good way.Harry W Super Reviewer

Apr 10, 2016This is one of the few later Tim Burton movies that I actually like. Tim Burton really hasn't impressed me in the later years and I think that his movies like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "Planet of the Apes" and "Big Fish" failed big. This is a movie based on one of my favorite novels and I must say, that I really enjoy this movie. The direction by Tim Burton is pretty good in the movie and the fact that he has a lot of great visual effects and a pretty well-written story is really something that I have missed for a lot time. I think that Mia Wasikowska is a really good casting choice and she does a wonderful job as Alice and is really lovable in the movie. Helena Bonham Carter is the thing that - no matter how you felt about the movie - you will leave enjoying, because she is so great and so funny as The Red Queen. Mixed reviews have been given to Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, but I personally enjoyed his performance and that is something that I haven't done since his performance in the third "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie.Lasse G Super Reviewer

Mar 28, 2016While it may not be Tim Burton's best in the slightest, Alice in Wonderland still has enough visual splendor and a great Johnny Depp performance to make up for it's narrative flaws and inconsistent scripting.Matthew M Super Reviewer

Sep 02, 2012I liked the plot. The movie made more sense than Lewis Carroll's book. I didn't mind the computer graphics or the acting.Red L Super Reviewer
