Alice('s Adventures) in Wonderland (2010)

[Draconian Guppy]

I think they focused to much on The Hatter, the book/movie is called Alice in wonderland, not Hatter in Wonderland, Granted he does play a big role, but I think the fact that they chose Johnny Dep must've made them add more screen time for hatter.

[Unrealistic]

Just got back from seeing it. Not sure what I thought of it, but I guess it was better than Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I do however, suddenly have an urge to watch the old Batman movies.

Disney pic earns $116.3 million at box office

Disney certainly hasn't lost any of its muchness.

"Alice in Wonderland" slayed the domestic B.O., earning an estimated mammoth total of $116.3 million at 3,728 playdates to become the highest-grossing first quarter opener, as well as the all-time highest debut for a non-sequel film.

Overseas, "Alice" earned $94 million at 5,600 screens in some 40 territories for a worldwide total of $210.3 million -- the fourth highest worldwide opening for a non-sequel film.

The 3D giant screened at 2,063 3D-equipped locations domestically with an additional 188 Imax locations, repping approximately 70% of the film's total domestic earnings.

Playing second fiddle to "Alice" was the frame's other wide release, Overture's "Brooklyn's Finest," exceeding expectations with $13.5 million at 1,936 screens. Pic comes just a week after the studio launched its horror remake "The Crazies," which grossed $7 million at 2,479 engagements in its soph sesh.

I absolutely hated it...

[Mamoun]

WE NEED REASONS PEOPLE! REASONS! a short review is a lot better than just stating "I like/hate it"...

Sorry, I just had to say that as a reply to the previous 2 posts...

I didn't like it mainly because it wasn't as well executed as I expected.

I didn't like it mainly because it wasn't as well executed as I expected.

I agree with that. But as someone pointed out, it was a sequel to Through the Looking-Glass. I didn't think about that at first, so I was disappointed in the lack of character development, but with the fact that this is a sequel to the story we've already known for years, character development isn't needed.

I went and saw it again and the second viewing was actually much, much better. Keeping the sequel idea in mind allowed a much better viewing.

With that in mind, it would have been nice to see this made into a trilogy. I would have liked seeing Burton go for a full series with this, but he didn't.

I haven't been to see it yet and from what I'm reading it seems like a huge waste of money.

[Gabureiru]

I liked the visuals, and specially the Red Queen's role, she's hilarious, I think even better that Depp's part.

Overall is a good movie, specially for girls.

I can give it a 7/10 score.

I know the people who I went with said when they were watching, at the beginning they were confused and disappointed that they ruined the story, but it isnt till later in the movie that you realize this is not a "remake" of the Alice story but a sequel which then changed their understanding and views of it.

Yeah, when I first went to see it, that's exactly what happened and because I was disgusted in the beginning it ruined the first viewing for me. Anyone who didn't like this film because it isn't a remake of the original story, then you really should give it a second chance with the idea of this being a sequel. On my second viewing it was a much, much better film.

I'd honestly go from my original 6 out of 10 to an 8 out of 10 rating.

Disney did a true disservice to this film by not advertising this film as a sequel. Every trailer should have made a better attempt at explaining that. I just assumed from Alice's age in the trailers that they were using an older girl and not necessarily changing any of the story.

[bolerodan]

Agreed. They definitely put no emphasis on it being a sequel on the marketing of this movie, which threw everyone off.

[ZonoBurk]

People thought the 10 sec "dance" by the Mad Hatter was awkward. Uh it's Underland, IT IS AWKWARD.

I thought it was more awkward when Alice did it. But something to pety didn't ruin it for me. Every time that Helena would appear my theater would laugh. Never missed a beat. I figured the "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS" would get annoying. But she said them so fast, I didn't care. The voice acting was very believable.

I think if Burton would have filmed it in 3D, instead of transferring it from 2D, it would have looked 5x better.

LOL

No sadly, it deserves to because its far superior to it but no

[Piggy]

I want to watch this but not in 3D for sure.

[Berserk87]

I want to watch this but not in 3D for sure.

I've never gotten motion sickness but after watching this in 3D I was dizzy the rest of the night.

When I got into my car it felt like it was rolling backwards.

Well I watched Avatar in 3D and it was pretty annoying overall. I wish I had watched it in 2D. I won't be diving into 3D again until it is without glasses.

OK, why did I hate it...

The film just looked like nothing more than a bunch of production still very hastilly turned into a film.

[Matrix XII]

I enjoyed the movie, the fact that it was a sequel threw me off big time, I thought it was going to be a remake.

I liked all the reciting of the Jabberwocky though :p

7/10

[Hurmoth]

Best part of the entire film was the Hatter's futterwacken :yes:

to me, this movie failed to deliver on epic scales... i thought it would be really well made and it was. I thought it would put me through a series of journeys and it didn't really. In comparison to avatar, it really didn't however avatar was of a different genre.

In 3D/Imax, it didn't feel that great.
