From Walt Disney Pictures and visionary director Tim Burton comes an epic 3D fantasy adventure ALICE IN WONDERLAND, a magical and imaginative twist on some of the most beloved stories of all time. JOHNNY DEPP stars as the Mad Hatter and MIA WASIKOWSKA as 19-year-old Alice, who returns to the whimsical world she first encountered as a young girl, reuniting with her childhood friends: the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Dormouse, the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, and of course, the Mad Hatter. Alice embarks on a fantastical journey to find her true destiny and end the Red Queen’s reign of terror. The all-star cast also includes ANNE HATHAWAY, HELENA BONHAM CARTER and CRISPIN GLOVER.

In the movie theater, the film captivated me, but it was mainly due to the vibrant color spectacle. Who doesn't enjoy a bit of kitsch now and then? But then the film settled in my mind, and I consider it one of the worst that Tim Burton has ever made. Depp found the right role for himself again. He's great, and he's funny. And he's the same as in other recent films, although the mask is different. The visual spectacle is nice, but the titular Alice didn't find the right representative in Mia. In fact, she quite successfully repels me. This is simply something that didn't work for me. Great actors, interesting roles, but why does this have to be an adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland?" Plot-wise, it's just another Hollywood spectacle.

When the most likeable character in a fairytale is the main villain, it’s impossible to avoid the feeling that something went bloody wrong. Alice in Wonderland is a run-of-the-mill film in every aspect, though some people may appreciate Burton’s signature, even if here it’s neutered. Not me, though. Kids will probably like it, it’s not utterly bad.

Burton didn't tell a story, he simply narrated. The most frequently asked question by me was why the film is not fully animated, since everything is as artificial as the interior of a Chinese car. In the overload of "Burton-esque visuals," completely in CGI, everything is lost... except for Mia Wasikowska, who carries the whole confused (!!) mess to the end. This time, that’s liberation. It’s sterile, boring, kitschy, plastic... the perfect repellent for viewer empathy.

Tim Burton returns and this time he takes us to Wonderland. “Alice in Wonderland” has been adapted into a variety of films and Burton has taken it in his own distinctive way. Of course, you can't expect anything normal, if only because of Burton's style of filmmaking. The new Alice in Wonderland is full of colour, bizarre creatures and funny moments that amuse rather than make you laugh. I noticed a lot of elements that reference Burton's previous films, especially the depiction of the digital landscape of Wonderland. What I would criticise the film for is its at times rather over the top portrayal of the characters and their behaviour - some people liked it, I found it off-putting. The dialogue is simple and does not offend. Danny Elfman once again did not disappoint and added his unique music to the film. As for the actors, I'm happy with most of them. Mia Wasikowska looks like she's going to die any minute, but she’s good; Johnny Depp is great and crazy as always and the two queens fit their characters perfectly. Finally, there's the skinny Absolom and the perpetually effusive Sklíba. In short, a typically Burtonian film, not gloomy this time, but instead a film of all colours, which perhaps cannot surprise, but is a feast for the eyes ... 75%.

I welcome stories derived from the stories embedded in the Disney portfolio that bring something new to the table (such as Snow White or Maleficent, in addition to Alice). That's how Disney came up with their version of Alice in Wonderland in 1951, and almost 60 years later they expanded the story with a sequel. Now we meet Alice, who is no longer a little girl, but a nineteen-year-old girl about to be married. She is once again lured by the white rabbit into the world of the Queen of Hearts, the Hatter, and other strange creatures. Lewis Carroll would probably have been surprised if he had been told in 1865 how inspirational his Alice would be. I don't particularly enjoy Burton's films, some I like more, others less, in the case of Alice in Wonderland I'm satisfied that his group is spot on: Elfman in the recording studio, Depp and Bonham Carter in front of the camera.
