Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Neil Welch If one looks at this version of Alice in Wonderland - a star studded 3 hour mini series or a cut down 2 hour standalone movie - in isolation from Lewis Carroll's book(s), then one must come to the conclusion that it is an excellent piece of work - imaginative, beautifully designed, showcasing some stunning effects work, and populated with very good performances.But it is almost impossible to look at an adaptation of Carroll's work without comparing it to the source material and, notwithstanding the strengths of the adaptation, one's attention is always drawn to the differences. And those differences (which, the makers will surely argue, are there because a literary work cannot be adapted literally for the screen) always - for Alice, always - are for the worse. The additions to the story - poor. The non-Carroll dialogue - poor. The inconsistent visualisation of characters - disconcerting and varying between good and poor.Tina Majorino's Alice is a long way from my personal envisaged Alice, but is nonetheless very good. Her English accent is excellent.
Petri Pelkonen There have been a few movies made of Lewis Carroll's Alices Adventures in Wonderland (1865).This one directed by Nick Willing is a TV movie from 1999.There are some known names in this movie.Tina Majorino does very nice job as Alice.Miranda Richardson is fantastic at The Queen of Hearts with her "Off with the head" routine.Martin Short is brilliant as The Mad Hatter.Whoopi Goldberg is terrific as Cheshire Cat.Ken Dodd is great as Mr. Mouse.Gene Wilder is superb as The Mock Turtle.George Wendt and Robbie Coltrane make a very fine pair as Tweedledee and Tweedledum.Christopher Lloyd is magnificent as The White Knight.Elizabeth Spriggs is marvelous as The Duchess, as is Sheila Hancock as her cook.Ben Kingsley is very good as Major Caterpillar.Peter Ustinov and Pete Postlethwaite are both great as The Walrus and the Carpenter.There are many nice moments in this movie.The most delightful moment must be when Gene Wilder sings "Beautiful Soup".This is great fun for the whole family.
Princess_Nuala23 .......after watching this. OMFG it was horrible. I felt like watching a cross between Rocko's modern life and teletubbies. The effects were HORRIBLE the Acting was HORRIBLE and every thing about the movie was just HORRIBLE!!!!!! As we all know the plot is about a stupid god-ugly girl who sees someone who looks a WHOLE LOT like a teletubbie in a rabbit suit. There was the worst effects ever, like a rat turning into a man, a stupid ugly queen who kept saying "off with there heads" every other breath. I couldn't stand the movie, and worst of all, noticed that I OWN it. I found it in my video collection, and this very second as I'm writing this I'm lighting a fire to burn it. Please, do me a great big favor and stick with Disney's masterpiece. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PIECE OF CRAP!!
Se7en Daze The story will be familiar to most. Dreading a singing recital at her parents' lavish home, Alice falls into a strange world in pursuit of a large White Rabbit. The talented child actor Tina Majorino (Corrina, Corrina, Napolian Dynamite) plays Alice with all the good graces but mostly wanders through strange, hallucinogenic journeys that take her to strange places, has her shrink and then grow very large, and leads her to meet all sorts of surreal characters...Carroll's tale of whimsical, illogical adventures is a field day for designers, the costumes and makeup are extremely well done, and the special effects are of the usual high standard you would expect from Jim Henson's Creature Shop. But this production is all dressed up without anywhere worthwhile to go. Influenced by Time Bandits and Labyrinth, the film has a splendid array of effects, many dealing with multiple perspectives...The highlights are Whoopi Goldberg as the Cheshire Cat, a seamless mix of cat and comic. Martin Short as the Mad Hatter. And Mirandra Richardson as the Queen of Hearts, who has put a memorable, if not piercing, personal stamp on the line, "Off with his head". She must say it sixty times during the movie...The show is not for all tastes, particularly if your idea of Alice in Wonderland is solidly fixed upon Disney's very different if unjustly maligned 1951 animated feature. If you're in the right frame of mind, however, Miller's Alice works wonderfully well….
