Alice in Wonderland Review

Posted by Allan Ford 2 March, 2010 (4) Comment

Alice in Wonderland

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton reteam once again – this time it’s for an adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice In Wonderland.

Mia Wasikowska is 19 year old Alice, a girl who’s facing the possibility of being married off to a man she doesn’t love and on the verge of enduring a life she really doesn’t want.

As she runs off to consider the proposal, she falls down a rabbit hole and finds herself in Wonderland.

However, on her entrance to Wonderland, she finds she has a destiny to fulfill – she must free the land from the tyranny of the Red Queen (Helena Bonham-Carter) and restore happiness to the land she visited as a child in her dreams.

But with the Red Queen on the war path, and the evil Jabberwocky to be unleashed, it looks like Alice really has her work cut out.

Like Hook, Alice in Wonderland sees an older version of a classic character returning to old haunts and meeting up with old friends. For some reason the Alice in Wonderland script, by Linda Woolverton, keeps Alice utterly in the dark for the entire film. We know that she’s been to Wonderland before, the other characters know it, but bafflingly she doesn’t. And when she does remember, right at the end, it’s presented as some kind of big reveal. Huh? What makes it all the weirder is that the movie doesn’t always feel like a sequel to Lewis Carroll’s original work but some kind of weird echo, or a reboot. Characters drop famous audience identification lines from the original books, and they engage in activities that we recognize from previous adaptations, but these lines and these activities don’t seem to have a place here; they’re the Alice equivalent of a franchise throwing insipid fan service in the sixth film – a wink at the people who have been here all along…read more [CHUD]

Mia Wasikowska (Alice Kingsley) in Alice in Wonderland

Walt Disney Pictures has released the first clip for Allice in Wonderland, featuring the first encounter between Alice and the Queen of Hearts. It’s looking pretty good to me.

From Walt Disney Pictures and visionary director Tim Burton comes an epic fantasy adventure Alice in Wonderland, a magical and imaginative twist on some of the most beloved stories of all time. Nineteen-year-old Alice returns to the whimsical world she first encountered as a young girl, reuniting with her childhood friends: the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Dormouse, the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, and of course, the Mad Hatter. Alice embarks on a fantastical journey to find her true destiny and end the Red Queen’s reign of terror. Alice in Wonderland captures the wonder of Lewis Carroll’s beloved “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” (1865) and “Through the Looking-Glass” (1871) with stunning, avant-garde visuals and the most charismatic characters in literary history.
