Movie review: Alice in Wonderland By The Daily You

"It's hard to see how Burton went wrong with Alice in Wonderland when the source material seemed to be right up his alley, but it most certainly misses the mark. Despite containing more than a few moments of brilliance, the lack of a good story dooms it in the end."

Movie Review of Alice in Wonderland By Screen Crave

Screen Crave gives Alic ein Wonderland a 7.5 out of 10 saying, "Alice in Wonderland is a fun ride that you wouldn't mind getting on once, but you'd hold off until the DVD to get on again. The performances are great, the music is fantastic, the visuals are polished, but the story is essentially the same. It's the same Alice she's just in a new outfit. But even though it's not the greatest movie it's still worth a viewing and the youngsters will definitely enjoy it."

Alice in Wonderland Movie Review By Blog Critics

"Thankfully, the names Tim Burton, Danny Elfman, and Lewis Carroll make one salivate with glee and spread a smile from ear to ear, Cheshire Cat-style, and their efforts here prove very worthy of expectations."

Alice in Wonderland Box Office Review by Scott Mendleson of the Huffington Post

As expected, Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland retained the top spot over the weekend. What was not as likely was that the film would drop just 46.6% in its second weekend, grossing $62 million in its second weekend and ending its tenth day with $208.5 million. Now a 46.6% drop isn't small potatoes, but for a film that opened to over $100 million, it's the third-smallest second weekend drop ever. Point being, while I didn't care for the film, it seems to be doing just fine amongst casual moviegoers and kid-friendly demographics.

Alice in Wonderland Review by Film Reviews - Times Online

Never have toves been so slithy or a film so brillig. Tim Burton's spectacular reimagining of Alice in Wonderland, which had its royal premiere in London last night, takes Lewis Carroll's famous Jabberwocky poem and makes it a 3-D epic for the next generation.

Alice in Wonderland Review by Screen Rant

"Overall, the story for Alice in Wonderland was great, and although it may be a tad too dark and Burton-esque for children under 9, it's sure to impress fans of the fairytale genre. Alice in Wonderland the 3D experience, however, is not worth the extra money. If you want to go see this, I recommend you watch the regular old 2D version."

Alice in Wonderland Review By The Hollywood Reporter

Not that there was any doubt that, when it came to restaging the 1865 Lewis Carroll classic for a 21st century sensibility, Tim Burton would be the man for the job. But even the filmmaker's trademark winsomely outlandish style doesn't prepare you for the thoroughly enjoyable spectacle that is his "Alice in Wonderland."

Tim Burton's descent into the rabbit hole - Los Angeles Times

When Tim Burton, one of Hollywood's most distinctive directors, came to Comic-Con International last week with never-before-seen footage from his upcoming adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland," the audience at the San Diego Convention Center went wild at the sight of Alice, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and other beloved characters from Lewis Carroll's surreal storybook classic.

Alice in Wonderland Review By The Movie Mom

I always turned to The Movie Mom for family friendly movie ratings and reviews. She recommends this film for children in grade 4 and up and she gives it a B+. Both seem reasonable to me.

Alice in Wonderland Blu-ray Movie Reviews

Alice in Wonderland (2010) Blu-ray Review by High-Def Digest

"I really appreciated Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland.' It's an uncompromised visual feat, and even without the third dimension, is totally enveloping. Tim Burton's directorial career may have boiled down to little more than a look, but when it's applied evenly (and imaginatively), it's still a cinematic gift of unparalleled power. The audio and video on this disc are virtually unequaled, but a smattering of less-than-thrilling special features bumps it down a peg or two. Still, highly recommended."

Alice in Wonderland (2010) Blu-ray Review by IGN

"Here we have another case of an imperfect film coming to Blu-ray with superior video and audio quality, as well as a thorough collection of extras. If you liked the film, or are just curious to see it, there's nothing here that should give you pause. If Alice isn't your cup of tea, so to speak, then even a perfect release is probably not enough to convince you to pick this one up."

Alice in Wonderland Blu-ray Review By Blu-ray.com

"...it's livelier than Disney's 1951 adaptation, and kids seem to love it, drawn perhaps by the sense of darkness and danger present in nearly all of Burton's films. This one really is divisive, so if you didn't catch the film theatrically, a try-before-you-buy rental might be a good idea. For A/V-aholics, though, the tech specs on this Blu-ray are superb-a vivid picture, pristine sound-which may be enough to sway some to a blind buy. As a side note, those looking for a truly original take on the Alice story-one that, in some ways, seems more Burton-esque than Burton's own version-should check out Czech filmmaker Jan Svankmajer's 1988 film, Alice, a creaky and frequently unnerving combination of stop-motion animation and live action.
