Amy says:
One of the best movies I have ever seen, Alice in Wonderland is truly wonderful. The characters and the scenery almost overshadow the plot that is full of twists and surprises. My favorite characters are the queens. The horridness of the wicked Red Queen, played by Helena Bonham Carter, gets the most laughs throughout the film with her tantrums and off-with-his-head cries. My favorite character is the White Queen, which is played perfectly by Anne Hathaway who gave the part an extra dose of sugary sweetness that made it work.

Tim Burton certainly has an eye for the strange and weird, and Lewis Carroll's classic tale is no exception. I love that this story is not simply a remake of the Disney animated film, but rather picks up where the other left off. I know we tend to fear classic movies being redone, but the imagination that is poured into this film fills me up with excitement and wonder. I love everything from Alice's misnomer of the land itself, to the Mad Hatter's curly red hair. And don't even get me started on futterwhacken! I could see this one again and again!
