Alice In Wonderland movie review - OmwhReviews

NEW SPECIAL GUEST ALERT!

As much as I love some of Tim Burton's movies for being far out there (Big Fish, Ed Wood, Edward Scissorhands), it seems like he might have taken "Alice In Wonderland" a little too far out there.

You obviously have little to no knowledge of Alice In Wonderland, Lewis Carroll WROTE a sequel titled Through the Looking Glass, and Alice DOES slay the dragon in the book and wonderland IS split as depicted in the film. The movie follows the book, Burton did not make the story line up. I usually like your reviews, but you missed the mark on this one.

Actually, I am fully aware of Through The Looking Glass. In fact, the film states that it is "based on Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland AND Through the Looking Glass." I was simply saying that this movie is a sequel to the original Disney film.

@OmwhReviews

But your statement about Burton turning Alice into a dragon slayer made it seem like you thought he pulled it out of his own ass. ;)

I do agree that my comment was a bit out of context. It's just that the film seemed to present itself as a remake of the original. Seeing it more as a sequel caught me a little off guard.

To be honest, it wasn't tim burton enough. Alice in Wonderland was based off an acid trip, which is what tim burton turned it into, which goes with what you said. BUT, I enjoy the other movies that he's done, like Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd, Sleepy Hollow, Nightmare Before Christmas. To me, it didn't seem as dark as it should've been. Which is what Tim Burton is all about. He was slakin in this movie; tsk tsk Tim!

You have to like tim to respect his work and love it

uhm. no he didn't. How many people care/know about that? Just because something really did happen doesn't mean it should be made into a feature. This is a good, if not great example. This movie was just there, playing in front of me...and I didn't care.

I understand that it might be too trippy for some people, but you guys must remember, when the orginal was written, he was on acid...I'm just sayin'

Lol
