after i saw the movie “Alice in Wonderland” in 3D 
, i wanted to make a review on it! but then i realized i haven’t read the books so i might just sound stupid (especially to the fans of Alice) 
‘coz i have no idea what i’m blabbing about… but coming from just a regular curious moviegoer, i really enjoyed the film! 
i’ve been looking forward to this movie ever since i saw the teaser trailer. and knowing that Tim Burton and Johnny Depp will collaborate again got me even more excited! so i made sure i won’t miss it.
aside from Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter, other familiar faces (and voices) can be seen (or heard 
).
Helena Bonham Carter plays the Red Queen. she was exceptional as Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter 
and was also seen in Sweeney Todd as Mrs. Lovett; and as expected, did another great performance as the villain in this film.
the White Queen was played by Anne Hathaway, and to tell you honestly, i didn’t really get her acting. i was confused if it was meant to be funny or what. 
but i still love her nevertheless. she’s a great actress… just not so much in this movie.
and of course, 
who wouldn’t be able to recognize Professor Snape’s voice? this time, as a Blue Caterpillar. i just love that unique tone that Alan Rickman has! he also plays Judge Turpin in Sweeney Todd.
joining in the cast of characters are Crispin Glover (George McFly from Back to the Future and the “thin man” from Charlie’s Angels) as the Knave of Hearts and Timothy Spall (Peter Pettigrew from Harry Potter; Nathaniel from Enchanted and Beadle Bamford from Sweeney Todd) as Bayard the talking dog.
excellent line up, i must say… and Mia Wasikowska make a wonderful and authentic Alice! 
the movie was really entertaining. great acting from great actors. i love the visuals, the make up and the wardrobe! (especially Alice’s red dress)
CLICK HERE for an awesome review by Angela Davis! i totally agree with pretty much everything she said. (but on those parts where she talks about the books, i can neither agree nor disagree. haven’t read them 
) after reading her review, it made me wanna buy those books!

I haven’t watched it just yet, but if you want to know, this movie is the continuation of the original movie and book. In the original, Alice is just a little kid who follows the rabbit, but in this movie, she goes back to help the white queen. I was told it wasn’t so great if you know the original story, I’m still going to go see it though =]

actually, i know the original story… i just haven’t read the original full-length version of the books yet.. the ones by Lewis Carroll.
the film is based on both books… “Alice in Wonderland” and a later sequel called “Through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there”
as a matter of fact, Tim Burton did a pretty good job in containing important scenes from both stories. i’d even say it was pretty accurate.
maybe most people, who only know the first part of the story, were disappointed in the movie because they expect it to be like the Alice in Wonderland story they’ve known from previous movies or even from those cartoons on tv. but what Tim Burton did in this movie is that he merged book one and book two… that’s why it made sense, now that the story was complete..
you should go see it.. it’s a good movie..
