Alice in Wonderland (2010) - 9 stars out of 10
This movie definitely lived up to its hype. There was absolutely no comparison to the Disney cartoon because this version was different in every imaginable way. Tim Burton's vision of Wonderland is sheer genius, giving it a dark and mystical feel. I am so glad that they combined both stories, allowing you to meet many of Carroll's creatures (like the jub-jub bird, the bandersnatch, and the jabberwocky!) Alice was perfectly cast, you'll see The Mad Hatter in an entirely new light (though I kept waiting for "Merry Unbirthday" and was sad when it never appeared), Alan Rickman as the caterpillar was awesome, the playing cards are SO COOL, and Helena Bonham Carter was SO CREEPY as the Queen of Hearts. Burton really brings an unreal feel to this movie and it's worth seeing in 3D to experience his unique world of Wonderland.
