I absolutley adore this film, and it is now my favorite movie. My mother took me and four of my friends to see this in the movie theaters the day after it came out. I would have liked to see it in 3D, but 2D was still spectacular. My mom also enjoyed the film and persuaded the rest of my family to see it. They saw it the next day and loved it, obviously. What's not to love? This film puts a twist on the classic tale and is basically a remake of the original Disney animated version, which I thought was absurd. I love Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, and Helena Bonham Carter, and this movie rocked with all of them, although it's the Red Queen (Carter) that steals the show. This movie has positive messages: believe in yourself, never give up, pay no heed to other people and what they say about you. Do what you want to do in life, and nothing that you believe is impossible. Also, the new song 'Underground" by Avril Lavigne that played at the end credits was great. You can watch it on Youtube. Danny Elfman was once agan magnificent with his music, and the set and costumes were superb. This is a great fantasy-family adventure that is on DVD just in time for summer! My only complaint is the violence. Only one or two scenes made me feel queasy: The scene where the Doormouse sticks his pin into the Bandersnatch and pokes his eyeball out, and the scenes where severed heads of the victims of the Red Queen are shown floating in the moat. Other than that, this movie was glorious, magnificent, and fantastical. SEE THIS MOVIE! I heartily reccomend it.

Pandora was so 2009; welcome to Wonderland. See in 3D!
All the best people, even the critics, are a little bit mad. I'm not a huge fan of all the criticism given to Tim Burton's awesome reimagining/sequel of one of my favorite books of all time. And indeed, those expecting a straight adaption of Lewis Carroll's novel will be disappointed, as will those expecting an Avatar-scale epic. But, if you're into Tim Burton or Johnny Depp...you absolutely have to see this. No joke. Anyways, this entire spectacle takes place 13 years after the events of the book. Alice is now a young woman about to propose to a man (against her will). However, Alice sees the White Rabbit, goes down the rabbit hole, and goes into Wonderland...but it's not the same. The Red Queen (played brilliantly by Helena Bonham "Off With Her Head" Carter) basically controls all of Wonderland now, and it's up to Alice and all her old friends (the Cheshire Cat [STEPHEN FRY, WOO!], Tweedledee and Tweedledum [TWO MATT LUCASES?], the hookah-smoking caterpillar [YES, IT'S ALAN RICKMAN], the dormouse [THE GIRL FROM THE DOCTOR WHO SPINOFF], and Bayard the bloodhound [TIMOTHY SPALL, WOO!]) to find out her true destiny: slay the Jabberwocky. In terms of content, this film is right at Star Wars levels in the PG spectrum. There's some stylized violence and gore, including a beginning skirmish between Alice and the Bandersnatch (causing Alice to get three scratches on her arm, which get worse and then better), an eye gouging (not graphic), a moat full of blood (and disembodied heads, of course, since it's the Red Queen we're talking about here), some disgusting ingredients in a potion, and a beheading (again, not graphic, and it involves an animal). The word "bloody" is used a few times. Finally, you do notice that it's rated PG for "a smoking caterpillar", right? It's just a hookah, and it's only used in a few scenes. Overall, Tim Burton's latest film is simply a wonder to behold, and I would be happy to go to either Pandora or Wonderland if the 3D worlds imagined by James Cameron and Tim Burton were real. Don't listen to the critics' bad reviews. Just see it.

One of the most overrated movies in the world
I heard a lot of good reviews about this movie, but when I rented it, I was let down. I mean, I've seen worse, but this movie wasnt really enjoyable. It had a strange, unusual premise, and it felt like it was trying too hard at times to be a good movie. I guess Johnny Depp did a pretty good job as the Mad Hatter, but-ya. C-.

Some violence
It was a little gross at some scenes. There was a scene where a mouse scooped an eye ball out of the beast thing, and it showed all of that scene, so it was creepy and grose.

Weak-ish plot, but graphics make the movie!
I went to see Alice In Wonderland today, finally, and I'm kicking myself for not seeing it in 3D! It was clearly meant for 3D, and the animation would have been amazing in it, but it was still pretty good in 2D. It wasn't exactly humorous, but it did have it's laughable moments like when the Red Queen says "I love a warm pig belly for my aching feet". It was a surreal twist between Twitches, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Shrek, oddly enough. The plot wasn't edge-of-your-seat, but the grapics really made the movie. Alice In Wonderland definitely has some positive role models such as Alice herself, who is basically a girl power, butt kicking young women who goes against the advice to "marry when you still have a gorgeous face" and accidently falls down the rabbit hole to Underland, and ends up being a hero for slaying the Jabberwocky. This movie might be a tad scary for more sensitive kids and tweens, especially in 3D, but most teens could probably handle it. Also, Johnny Depp= GOLDEN in this movie!!

The Best Movie Ever!
I absolutely loved this movie! Though it is a little intense and scary at parts, it all plays out well in the end. The CG is really good, though some things are really obviously fake. The only concern I'd have for younger children is that Stayne is a little bit sexual.

Wait- Huh?
OK! You rate this iffy for 10 and Nightmare before Christmas is 7+! That's Crazy! Sure this movie is dark, a tad creepy, and odd, but it is actually really good! The only thing that I found a little creepy is Cheshire Cat! This is a great movie 8+!

Its an OK movie, I prefered the cartoon and the 1990s English version, but this was pretty goood, kids younger than me will probably enjoy it beter than I did... Parents need to know that this is a very dark and twisted version of the Alice story, and there is some violence and scary scenes. The Jabberwocky and the Bandersnatch look very scary, and will frighten young kids, and there is a scene in which the Bandersnatch chases Alice and co., and the Bandersnatchs eye is skewered and taken out... :/ There is a beheading scene but noone dies, and the film is generally very dark, sinister and scary.... most of the characters are pretty scary looking, and although its not that good, lots of kids wil want to see it and they need to know that its got some very heavy sinister themes and some violence, so I reccomend for 11+

Return to Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland is a one of a kind movie. when I first found out about this film I expected it to be similar to 1950's version. But instead I got one the most terrifing experences of my life! I went to go see the movie in theaters with my parents and my brother but I didn't see it in 3D because I knew it was going to be too intense. There are alot of dark and terrifing moments such as the Jabborwalky burning down Wonderland, The JubJub bird's head getting crushed by a flying rock, the mote of severed head and the fearsome beast called the Bandersnatch that wants Alice dead. My favorite scene is at the end where Alice has her final battle with the Jabborwalky and actually beats him. All in all, it's a great movie. If you're a fan of the 50's version or a fan of the novel then I recomend this movie to you. I just wish it could've been rated PG-13 instead of PG. This movie inspired me to make my own fantasy features. Check it out now. Just not if you're 11 years old and/or younger.

It was fine
Now, I'm trying to remember this.. Ah, yes. My 6th birthday. As a celebration, my mom took me to the movies. To be honest, I wasn't sure about seeing this in the 1st place... But, she took me anyway. It was... good. Mad Hatter and Alice are good role models, but, at some scenes, I covered my eyes. And, the ending was sad, to me. I was in the bathroom at like, the end. I came back, and at the end, I was like "Meh, this was alright". But, the 1951 film was better. I recommend it for kids 10 and up. And, Johnny Depp rocked the house.
