Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
The marriage of director Tim Burton with the darker edges of the Alice In Wonderland story seems, on paper, to be an impressive match. And to a point, it is: Burton’s film explodes with colour and style, bringing a real sense of imagination to the classic Lewis Carroll stories. Alice In Wonderland isn’t perfect, though. It’s, at heart, far more conventional than you may be expecting, and the beefing up of the Mad Hatter’s role to accommodate the casting of Johnny Depp is problematic. That said, Depp’s performance is fine, even if it’s Helena Bonham-Carter who steals every scene she’s in. And Burton also wisely casts a strong supporting cast of British thespians, who don’t get enough screen time, but make the most of what they get. The end result, however, is a fun telling of an engaging story. And while Tim Burton’s take on Alice In Wonderland is far from the best filmed take on the source material, it’s nonetheless a solid family movie. It also looks stunning on Blu-ray. The colourful production design comes across wonderfully well, in vibrant 1080p, and the enveloping sound mix matches it too. And given how often the film is likely to be re-spun over the years, it’s easily the best way to own the film. --Jon Foster

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - AMAZING
a brilliant take on a classic novel. The CGI characters are amazing and look so natural. The actors have good accents and act very well.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Alice in wonderland
Pleased I purchased it from Amazon for half the price in the shops, film wasn't that good really.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Alice in Disneyland
A very ugly caricature of a great book. Its box office success reflects badly on contemporary culture.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Brilliant buy
Only had this DVD a few weeks and I have lost count of how many times my granddaughter has watched it and the picture is brilliant. The goods were also delivered very speedily. Highly recommend.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Wonderpants
As a Tim Burton fan I found this very disappointing. The film epitomises the current dilletantism in mainstream film-making. Over reliance on fx, with lots of actors seeming to be going through the motions, and some, in key roles, simply not being up to the job at all.
