[airik625]

Should be trippy, pun intended.

Relatively excited for this.

[Ailite]

Burton needs another Big Fish

[lostntheseethru]

who is Mia Wasikowska?

[Adeniz19]

fuck this adaption. the pic of depp as mad hatter that was released a while ago was an atrocity.

[lostntheseethru]

i didnt see it :(

[silentstar1134]

YES me likey :-)

[StreetSpirit76]

I'm actually psyched for this.

[Adeniz19]

i didnt see it :(http://www.filmofilia.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/mad-hatter.jpg

I was actually somewhat curious about the movie until i saw this.

[Recovery Room]

Haha, what else would you expect from a Tim Burton/Johnny Depp collaboration?

I'd prefer this were purely live action.

Didn't that end up just being a photoshop anyways? Can't get mad at Burton for a fan made photoshop.

[Adeniz19]

Didn't that end up just being a photoshop anyways? Can't get mad at Burton for a fan made photoshop.ah, i didn't hear that. damn good photoshop if it really is one.

[Recovery Room]

who is Mia Wasikowska?

[fluke182]

ah, i didn't hear that. damn good photoshop if it really is one.
I could be mistaken, but that was the word I heard. I hope it is, because that's a pretty stupid costume design otherwise.

[Recovery Room]

I'm just stoked Christopher Lee, Alan Rickman and Crispin Glover are in this.

[Adeniz19]

I could be mistaken, but that was the word I heard. I hope it is, because that's a pretty stupid costume design otherwise.
haha agreed. i guess i'll hold judgment until i see some official releases

[jnnlopez]

Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite movies ever, but I don't think I'll be too excited to watch the new one.

[lostntheseethru]

I didn't like the way johnny depp looked for sweeney todd until I saw it all together so maybe it'll be the same way with this. I dunno, I just don't see that being a reason to not want to see the movie. I know its an amazing cast an its tim burton. Me not having faith in tim burton means I have no faith in the whole world. Haha. I just have to let it all play out haha

[a speedo model]

Burton seems like a bad joke now, how he has fallen.

[Deadwomb88]

i cant stand burton, this idea is blasphemy

[Brandon Allin]

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=53661

Is anyone else really, really excited for this? I sure am.

[Galedeep]

I think that the Disney version had the perfect Cheshire Cat, and being one of my favourite characters I am somewhat nervous about what Burton's will be like.

I do think that Matt Lucas is the perfect Tweedledum/Tweedledee, and I hope they do the Walrus and the Carpenter.

I am not getting too hyped over this, Burton hasn't really wowed me since Big Fish.

[Charles777]

I love Depp, so I'll be seeing this

[yakob89]

Im really interested to see what Tim Burton will do with this. I really enjoyed Sweeney Todd so we'll see

[Bloodsucker II]

wow, ive been wanting a dark, live action Alice film for a long time now. I cant wait for this.


Edit: I'm kind of sad that this being done by Disney because I was hoping for a pg-13 rating, which is still possible but not as likely. Hopefully it will still be pretty dark and just....weird

[drudo182]

Why all the hate for Tim Burton? And I wasn't aware this was Disney either until that article.

[billyboatkid]

Excited for this. But then again I like anything with Burton and Depp. haha

[jnnlopez]

Yep. Now I can't wait to see it.

[LaDiabla]

Soo excited for this. Really like that they selected Anne Hathaway for the Queen. Nice to see her do something else than shitty movies lately (except Rachel getting married...)

[drewziph]

Ah man. I hope they make this pretty fucked up.

Or give a cameo to Morpheus.

[desipunk7]

should be interesting to say the least

[kafe]

Burton needs another Big Fish

This post was made a while ago but I didn't see it until now. Completely agree, Big Fish is absolutely wonderful.

[just.Starla.]

I'm actually really looking forward to seeing this.

[optimusrob]

I heard that they were getting back on board with American Mcgee's Alice film. I really hope so. That game was great.

[B-Bones]

It's cool to hate Burton and Depp on these boards. It's odd because I like each of them a great deal.

[Brandon Allin]

This post was made a while ago but I didn't see it until now. Completely agree, Big Fish is absolutely wonderful.
Amen. Near perfect film.

first official pics (with more, interactive ones [!] at the source below):

Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter
http://i39.tinypic.com/ua8ar.jpg

Helena Bonham Carter as the red queen...they digitally enhanced her head for the movie

http://i41.tinypic.com/2zrpyx2.jpg

Anne Hathaway as the white queen

http://i42.tinypic.com/acv02s.jpg



"We finished shooting in December after only 40 days," Zanuck says. Now the live action is being merged with CG animation and motion-capture creatures, and then transferred into 3-D.

The traditional tale has been freshened with a blast of girl power, courtesy of writer Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast). Alice, 17, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types. Off she runs, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before yet doesn't remember.

There is the usual Burton-esque ghoulishness (Helena Bonham Carter's Red Queen, whose favorite retort is "Off with their heads," has a moat filled with bobbing noggins)

[bouttogetfancy]

hmm

[anthonydarko]

Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter
http://i39.tinypic.com/ua8ar.jpg

He looks like something out of a wild acid trip. I think I'm going to see that in my nightmares tonight.

[VampiresRevenge]

I can't wait for this movie. I love everything that Tim Burton does, so I'm sure that this movie will be brilliant. I'm also excited to see Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, and Christopher Lee in it.

[oncedarkness]

Who hit ctrl+b on Anne Hathaway's eyebrows?

I know it's just the contrast to her hair, but I think they could have done something better than that.

[FOBcareemo]

Definitely gonna haunt my dreams. looks like some sort of Willy Wonka clown rapist.

[Kyle Huntington]

Those pictures are awesome, I cannot wait for this, had no idea it was going to be in 3-D.

[Ailite]

lol

These pretty much look like what was expected, not a bad thing.

[Thomas Balkcom]

neither did I

excited for this

[MADSTA]

Fuck yes @ Johnny Depp, Alan Rickman, and Helena Bonham Carter. I'll be seeing this for sure.

[Kyle Huntington]

Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat, yes please.

[c_rob2700]

Only Burton movie I enjoy is Big Fish so I don't know if I'll enjoy this. Will see it regardless

[irthesteve]

This movie is gonna be so fucking cool, but will no doubt get shit all over by the general public just because it's Burton and a semi-remake

[Throwback]

Tim Burton's last three or four movies have been completely interchangeable. I can't wait for lots of snowy scenes set to Danny Elfman's jingly pianos while a pale Johnny Depp acts weird.

[irthesteve]

http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/zz4fbabdc4.jpg

[RecklessXRandy]

So stoked

[-whisp-]

I am so looking forward to this release. Tim Burton is perfect for this, I'm thrilled about it.

This, but I have to admit that those pictures are kind of creepy, but amazing at the same time.

[VampiresRevenge]

This, but I have to admit that those pictures are kind of creepy, but amazing at the same time.
Yeah, but Tim Burton specializes in creepy, haha.

[Wait_For_It]

All the pictures I've seen for this look really cool/creepy.

[ashiex3]

The pictures look great, especially the one with Alice in the garden. I'm looking forward to seeing this.

[Adeniz19]

so the pic i posted in the first page wasn't a fake... yea ill skip this

[Kyle Huntington]

so the pic i posted in the first page wasn't a fake... yea ill skip this

Because of one picture? Or not a fan of Burton anyways?

[Charles777]

Tim Burton has a slightly annoying style. I'll see this though. Sweeney Todd was fucking great

[xxjenlikewoahxx]

I'm pretty excited for this

[thehereaway]

http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/zz4fbabdc4.jpg

Brilliant

[Adeniz19]

Because of one picture? Or not a fan of Burton anyways?because of all the pictures. it just looks like your typical burton film.

[Kyle Huntington]

because of all the pictures. it just looks like your typical burton film.

Fair enough. I think the great cast will help it a lot, saying that I like Burton anyways.

[irthesteve]

because of all the pictures. it just looks like your typical burton film.
i'd bet if his name wasn't attached you'd be into it alot more. The concept photos are stunning, I mean come on... this is beautiful:

http://i.usatoday.net/life/_photos/2009/06/22/alice-topper.jpgI'll admit, that pic you just posted looks pretty cool, but i'm just not feeling the character designs.

and it's not like i hate tim burton. edward scissorhands, batman, big fish, beetlejuice, and mars attacks i found all to be enjoyable. maybe i'll eat my words later, but as of right now i'm just not feeling it.

understandable, but i think if you don't look like this as a remake of the animated version of the movie (which it isn't, it is a sequel of sorts 10 years after the fact), but you look at it as a fantastic voyage through time and space and drugs n shit where everyone looks all kinds of fucked up and crazy...

also, you forgot Nightmare Before Christmas and James & the Giant Peach and I loved Sweeney Todd

[Adeniz19]

I didn't forget them haha. He also didn't have anything to do with James and the Giant Peach (except having a producer credit). That was Henry Selick.

It seems like Burton has been all about style over substance lately, but like I said, I hope I'm wrong with this one because I love the story.

[billyboatkid]

Wow, those pictures are a trip.

I hope he doesn't fuck this one up.

[bradsonemanband]

the pictures look rad

[Chemical Love]

Yea the pictures are really cool. Gonna be a really cool movie.

[skellorock]

doesnt Depp's Hatter look like the bastard child of Carrot Top and Dani Filth??? lmao

http://www.aintitcool.com/images2009/DeppHatter.jpg


probably smart move going to a more extreme look to avoid any Wonka comparisons hahaha

According to Aint It Cool, the script isnt a direct adaptation of the book, and more of an "extention" of it, being that Alice is older and it takes place after the original story, which where I come from we call that a SEQUEL lol, but more or less I think it'll be more along the lines of Hook, not exactly a sequel, but, then again yeah it is lol.

I'm looking forward to it tho, he's been my fav director since forever and its great that he's back to his roots at Disney, especially now that his old homeboys John Lassater(especcially) and Brad Bird are calling shots now.

[carramrod2005]

This could be really good or really bad

[billyboatkid]

Wait so this is under the Disney company?

I didn't know that. That's pretty cool.

[skellorock]

apparently its 3D too

Oh come on, Nightmare Before Christmas is a great movie. Just because scene kids all over the world decided to latch onto it years after it first came out should not make it any less awesome.

How has he been more style than substance lately??? 3 of the last 4 movies he's done followed their source material very closely(excluding Corpse Bride, it was loosely based on an old east euro/jewish folktale) and with Big Fish, that was actually superior to the book. But Sweeney and Charlie were both done great

[glassj4w87]

2 reasons to see this. alan rickman. crispin glover. depp can suck it, his mad hatter outfit/makeup looks to over the top. Its what I think would be the outcome of a J-star Willy Wonka fuck session.

[Liz_who?]

Why is "Alice" so old? http://media.movieweb.com/news/2008/alice3.jpg

[starseed]

Why is "Alice" so old? http://media.movieweb.com/news/2008/alice3.jpg

Because it's a "sequel".

[bard]

this movie is going to be crap.

tim burton hasn't made a good movie in years, and i'm getting so tired of his collaboration with depp and bonham carter.

i think they're great actors, but burton is just too "crazy" of a director. he thinks by throwing in weird colors, characters, etc... that it will be a masterpiece. but instead the movie is almost incoherent because of so much stuff going on.

blah, idk, i just think this movie will be vastly overrated like sweeney todd, and the only reason it will do well is because the kids going to see it multiple times will be the same ones who go to hot topic and buy all the stupid nightmare before christmas crap.

[Kyle Huntington]

I really enjoyed Sweeney Todd.

[LaDiabla]

I must say I didnt watch Sweeny Todd, but I enjoyed Coraline a lot. Anyways, I think he is doing a good job with going a little 'overboard' as pretty much everyone knows the story already. So it makes it more exciting to see it with more 'special' effects (even though I'm a fan of the 1959 version, still) plus it will be awesome to watch while on drugs.
But yes, tired of the constant Depp and Bonham Carter collabo. So I think it's nice to see Anne Hathaway in this.

[Undue Noise]

I'll definitely check this out. I'm a fan of Burton and this casting looks amazing. Especially looking forward to Alan Rickman and Stephen Fry.

i thought he directed it?

[Kyle Huntington]

That was Henry Selick.

[LaDiabla]

That was Henry Selick.

:shrug: looked pretty Burton-ish so I assumed...anyways.

[Undue Noise]

i thought he directed it?
Henry Selick. He also did Nightmare Before Christmas, maybe that's where you got the comparison.

[bard]

:shrug: looked pretty Burton-ish so I assumed...anyways.
that's kind of what i'm talking about.

to be a good director, etc... you shouldn't be able to see a preview of a movie and assume it's him. he isn't original anymore. most his movies look too similar. he needs to expirement with other stuff. he's in a crappy rut.

[LaDiabla]

Henry Selick. He also did Nightmare Before Christmas, maybe that's where you got the comparison.
Probably. I also think I heard his name in relation to that movie but oh well, nevermind.
that's kind of what i'm talking about.

But I think he isn't the only one in that rud. Like I think you could say the same for Martin Scorcese, Clint Eastwood ect. It's more that he just has a special style.

[bard]

oh i'm not saying he's the only one in a rut, i'm just saying that he needs to do something good, or stop wasting time and money

[Kyle Huntington]

oh i'm not saying he's the only one in a rut, i'm just saying that he needs to do something good, or stop wasting time and money

Out of curiosity, what is the last film by Burton as a director, that you think was good?

[bard]

Out of curiosity, what is the last film by Burton as a director, that you think was good?
big fish was okay......

but in all honesty, i think edward scissorhands was the last movie he directed that was good.

[LaDiabla]

oh i'm not saying he's the only one in a rut, i'm just saying that he needs to do something good, or stop wasting time and money

maybe adding mwY as soundtrack to the movie would help?

just bustin your balls...

[Kyle Huntington]

Not a fan of Ed Wood I take it then?

[bard]

haha, yeah!
Not a fan of Ed Wood I take it then?
been meaning to see it, but not that anxious considering how most his movies are....

and i don't mean to bust anyone's balls over this movie or for liking tim burton, everyone at work is talking about the new pictures that came out and how AWESOEM!!!! this movie is going to be and i'm venting because they all look at me like i'm an alien when i tell them i don't like 90% of movies released....

[imahoodlum]

Can't tell if this is going to be really awesome or going to really suck. It could swing either way.

[Kyle Huntington]

haha, yeah!

That's cool, I can understand why people would get tired of him/a similar format, but it works for me (with a few exceptions).

[bard]

with a few exceptions? which ones did you not like? just curious...

[Kyle Huntington]

with a few exceptions? which ones did you not like? just curious...

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, but with that said, I fell asleep for the whole thing. But, I saw the first 10-15 minutes, then woke up for the final 10 minutes or so, and did not enjoy those small portions. Haven't seen Corpse Bride though, so can't comment on that.

[bard]

i figured it would be charlie....

i understand it was aimed at kids, but even then it should still be mildly enjoyable for adults. there was too much stuff going on at once, and i couldn't imagine that a kid would be able to understand everything that's going on. it was just a huge colorful mess

corpse bride was okay... looked good, but was kind of boring.

[DejaNew]

March 2010? Fuck.

[Chemical Love]

March 2010? Fuck.
Damn, really? I thought it was gonna be a fall release.

[DejaNew]

Damn, really? I thought it was gonna be a fall release.
Yeah, it sucks. March 5th, 2010. Here's a few screen shots and demo sets to look at in the meantime.

I'm really excited for this. I don't think I will ever get tired of Burton's "formula." I love the Burton/Depp collab.

[sheslostcontrol]

I can't wait! I've always loved Alice in Wonderland, and this looks like it's going to be much darker. Almost like American McGhee's Alice, which will be great since they don't seem to be making a film or that anymore - I used to love that game! The good thing about Burton is you can have total faith in him to produce something spectacular.

[thepartyscene!]

I'm actually excited for it.
The cast is perfect.

[Jake Denning]

this movie is going to be awful.

[demondays524]

IGN posted the trailer (http://movies.ign.com/dor/objects/14219277/alice-in-wonderland/videos/alice_wondr_tease1_072209.html)!

Yeah, this looks awesome

[thesafeword]

This is going to be a terrible movie, the pictures I've seen of the cast in costume are atrocious.

[color_coded]

I'm excited for this.

[irthesteve]

The girl who plays Alice is a patient in In Treatment and she is great in it, I have high hopes for this movie

[Jason Tate]

New trailer looks ok.

[demondays524]

What the fuck. Apparently the trailer was released a day early and Disney is pulling all the videos. Luckily, there's still one here (http://www.filmstar.se/sv/161271/video/2009-07-22/alice-i-underlandet-%20trailer/) if anyone's interested.

[cirerelleum]

this better be "Alice in Wonderland" and not "OMG! JONNY DEPP IS PLAYING ANOTHER SLIGHTLY INSANE GOTHIC PERSON! PRAISE HIM!"

[Loch_Doun]

Late pass is late.

^ Unnecessary post.
It could be new to some people, like me.

[just.Starla.]

The trailer looks pretty good.

[zac_montucky]

Would anyone be interested in the Mad Hatter character poster? My work has some we won't be using that I can probably get my hands on

[sweetforever]

I hope they don't focus this all on Depp, which, from the trailer, it seems like.

[DejaNew]

HD trailer is up.

[mymomsapanda]

this movie is gonna be so trippy

haha ya, but it's probably going to be really good. i love tim burtons work.

[brentkid]

this better be "Alice in Wonderland" and not "OMG! JONNY DEPP IS PLAYING ANOTHER SLIGHTLY INSANE GOTHIC PERSON! PRAISE HIM!"
Basically how I feel about any Burton/Depp movie.

[miapiv89]

is the movie focused around the mad hatter? that would be slightly upsetting i think, as cool as johnny depp is..

[zion the lion]

I'm going to be extremely upset if Johnny Depp somehow fucks up being the mad hatter. I am curious to see if it works out though, the animated disney version was my favorite movie for a while, and the mad hatter is my favorite (book and/or movie) character of all time.

Also, it would be interesting if it was hd in the theaters.

[framebyframe]

I was really excited for this movie, but after seeing the trailer I was a little disappointed.

[c_rob2700]

Movie should've just been called The Mad Hatter. I just wish Burton would drop his shitty Depp obsession and make more movies like Big Fish

[cirerelleum]

maybe theyre having an affair.

[zion the lion]

Movie should've just been called The Mad Hatter. I just wish Burton would drop his shitty Depp obsession and make more movies like Big Fish

I cant think of that many with Johnny Depp in them.

[c_rob2700]

I cant think of that many with Johnny Depp in them.
7 out of Tim Burton's 15 films have Depp starring in the lead role.

[zion the lion]

7 out of Tim Burton's 15 films have Depp starring in the lead role

I had no idea, but that is a lot. Almost too many. I dont see him being a good mad hatter though, so I'm iffy about this movie.

[Thomas Balkcom]

7 out of Tim Burton's 15 films have Depp starring in the lead role.

I am honestly surprised there are eight without him

[c_rob2700]

Obsession is probably an understatement actually. 50% of all his movies have/will have him in the lead role

Beetlejuice
Batman
Edward Scissorhands
Batman Returns
Ed Wood
Mars Attacks!
Sleepy Hollow
Planet of the Apes
Big Fish

[GeeBee]

Looks like Disney de-Burton-ified this film. I'm disappointed with the trailer.

[charmer]

Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are like Martin Scorsese and Leo DiCaprio. They compliment each others styles. It doesn't look like the Mad Hatter is the lead role, just the narrator.

[Bloodsucker II]

Not sure how I felt about this trailer. I wanted to enjoy it more.

[phil19]

am not keen about this considering what he did with charlie and the chocolate factory

[Miss Heartcore]

Burton needs another Big Fish
Absolutely one of my favorite movies. I finally bought it the other night and the end still gives me the same feeling, every time.

New trailer looks ok.
I agree, it leaves much to be desired.

[WordzandDreamz]

The trailer starts off so good...

then the fucking mad hatter shows up.

[Miss Heartcore]

I hope they don't focus this all on Depp, which, from the trailer, it seems like.

Agreed on both accounts.

[WordzandDreamz]

Agreed on both accounts.

I run a movie theatre and I refuse to allow the employees to put the poster or banner with the mad hatter up. I make them display the banners with Alice and the White Queen.

Except Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio are much better than Tim Burton and Johnny Depp.

Good. This story always creeped me out, especially the made for TV movie version. I'm wondering if I'll like this though.

Also, I always felt like working in a movie theater would be a cool job.

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

One of my friends mentioned this to me:

"A script review I read also mentioned the fact that, at least in that draft, he gets rather "involved" with Alice." "He" being the Mad Hatter.

[-whisp-]

I'm still looking forward to this movie. The Cheshire Cat makes me smile.

[brentkid]

This movie is either going to disappoint everyone or be criminally overrated.

[starseed]

This movie is either going to disappoint everyone or be criminally overrated.

I like how you leave no opening for it to be good. Either it's going to suck or it's going to suck and people will still like it.

Because you can make such a prediction from a couple 2 min trailers.

You can defend what will likely be another overrated Tim Burton movie all you like but do not insult Hey Arnold.

[Ladyhelena]

Really looking forward to it actually, I adore Tim Burton's work...

[moths wings]

When i saw that it was going to be filmed like beowolf i got really dissapointed. But judging by the trailer, it doesnt look like its going to be the same, so I still have high expectations of this movie.

[SlappedActor]

Disappointed with the trailer. I think Johnny Depp is enormously talented, but he looks like he's just doing his standard "Willy Wonka" weirdo schtick. And it looks too Disney-fied, I was hoping for something with a creepier undercurrent.

But who knows, maybe the trailer will be misleading.

[fortythieves]

Ugh. I saw Beowulf after reading the epic and I walked out of the theater like, "the fuck is this crap?"

But anyway, I am mildly interested in seeing this movie.

This movie is gonna be so sick. Can't wait

[irthesteve]

I find it funny when people get mad at this being a "remake" and it will ruin it, (mostly when they act like the Disney version is the only one). This version will be the 37th full length adaptation of the movie for Christ's sake, haha.

On a side note, I did see the Disney version last night and forgot how amazing it is, made me even more stoked for this one to come out

[Joss_Begay]

Favorite disney movie growing up. Can't wait to see Tim Burton version.

[Losthope182]

Just watched that second trailer for the first time...so excited to see this when it comes out. I'm going to try and watch the Disney version again before this comes out to get ready for it. I read the book a couple semesters ago and loved it, been years since I've seen any film versions of it though.

[mrnegativezero]

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2010/02/amc-dvd-disney-alice-wonderland.html

I was just told that this is indeed happening. Disney made a bad move by trying to fight piracy with a declining product. Now they're losing a lot of the money they will get from this movie.

Edit: Or not. AMC is not boycotting. I need to check my sources info. :-/
Still, pushing a declining product will not fight piracy.

[demondays524]

I've read a lot of mixed reviews about this movie. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be disappointed. Hopefully I'm wrong.

[bouttogetfancy]

I think I'll end up seeing this in theaters. I'm still not terribly excited.

[murrich]

Movie was positively average.

[drudo182]

Seeing it this afternoon. I'm more excited than I originally was when the trailer first came out but I'm not expecting too much.

[WakingTheMisery]

I didn't plan on seeing this and the reviews are only backing my decision.

[gusta0117]

is this worth paying the extra 5-6 dollars or whatever for 3D? assuming im paying for my gf ticket and mine

[drudo182]

Not one of Burton's best films but I really liked it. The 3D was really well done.

[0s0]

3D wasn't worth it. But then again, 3D is almost never worth it. It always seems like there's just enough 3D in a movie that they hope after a small while you forget the movie is in 3D.

Anyways, terrible movie in my opinion - but I can understand why people would like it. It had a plot that was similar in theme to Hook. And it had that dumb formula: "Kid without confidence enters imaginary land. Random stuff happens. Kid has confidence. End with battle sequence." I.e., Chronicles of Narnia, Star Wars Episode I, Lord of the Rings, etc., etc.

Johnny Depp acted like Willy Wonk just took a snort of cocaine off one of Edward Scissorhands' blades and now he's acting all palsy-ish/Michael J. Fox+Parkinsons. And then throw in a Krusty the Klown look with random Scottish accents. (What the hell was up with those accents?)

I just felt bored the whole time.

[demondays524]

Agreed.

I thought Helena Bonham Carter was perfect as the Red Queen.

[anthonydarko]

I just got back from watching this in 3D and I have mixed feelings about it. I thought the 3D was excellent, I felt it really added something to all the effects in the film. However, I felt the film itself was very meh, it was enjoyable but it could of been a much better film.

[nonamesleft]

Disappointing, coming from a die hard Alice fan.

avatar probably is the ONLY movie worth the 3-d surcharge (that i've seen, at least).

[Why Bother?]

Just saw this at the movies (2D). Completely empty and completely forgettable, it looked cold and was funny at times but it had no effect on me.

I had fun spotting the bits where I imagined the 3D would happen.

[Why Bother?]

Oh and the caterpillar (Alan Rickman) smoking hookah was probably the best thing in the movie.

[miapiv89]

i loved it.

[kianacarly]

I didn't watch it in 3D (can't stand things in 3D) and it was a struggle to watch it, mostly because the theater mostly consisted of middle schoolers who had to be told continously to shut up. I thought the makeup artistry in the film was so brilliant though.

Middle schoolers ruin everything.

[Drew Beringer]

I enjoyed it.

[jimjam32]

worst part of the movie was johnny depp. seemed like he was straining -- a lot.
best part was mia wasakowski. she started slow but definitely grew on me and was my favorite actor at the end.



loved the cheshire cat

when did you see this tonight? At Showplace 12?

[Miss Heartcore]

I was expecting it to be a big deal with Avatar and I think the 3-D was a waste. I barely noticed much of it.

[Drew Beringer]

3-D is dumb.

That being said, I cannot wait to get trashed and see Clash of the Titans aka Release the Kraken in 3-D.

[jimjam32]

when did you see this tonight? At Showplace 12?
i saw it in lafayette. dorms close at 8AM tomorrow so it wasn't even worth staying there. bs that we pay 8000 for those dorms/crappy gas station food. some of the rules are outrageous.

[anthonydarko]

My friends had headaches after seeing it in 3D. They couldn't take it haha!

[kianacarly]

Middle schoolers ruin everything.

Ugh, the theater was full of them, and they were all hyper and loud as if they were super cool for going to the movies without their parents or something. They had to be told to be quiet a few times, but it was pretty futile since most of them were that age. I've never seen the local theater that crowded before, and 90% of them were 11-13 years old.

I would of died had that been me in the theater.

[kianacarly]

I'm pretty patient so it wasn't too bad, but the local theater is normally pretty empty so I'm not used to it being crowed with people like it was today. The more people there are the more it increases the chances of people talking, I guess.

I'm usually guilty of talking during movies too, but I only talk to the person I'm with, and I whisper as quietly as I can as just commentary or an observation about the movie or something. They were just loudly going off about random things. Don't know why they paid money just to sit in a theater and talk about other things because they can't have paid much attention to the movie.

I would not be able to stand it, I'm the complete opposite, no patience when it comes to this. It bugs me when people near me are talking through the previews even...during the boring advertisements is fine, but as soon as the movie previews start, I want my silence.

[drudo182]

Those scenes were great in 3D.

[SLoT]

Saw this last night. I thought it was really good, but the only thing that bothered me was that Alice looked almost exactly like my best friend's awkward and annoying ex-girlfriend. Could've really ruined the movie for me, but I enjoyed everything else.

[QuikTrig]

I was expecting it to be a big deal with Avatar and I think the 3-D was a waste. I barely noticed much of it.

really? i think 99% of the hype its getting is because of its 3D visuals and production.

[mrnegativezero]

The 3D didn't do much for me.

I thought the March Hare was the best. Anne Hathaway was a good White Queen as well. Overall I really enjoyed it. I think people are giving it negative reviews because of the hype.

[c_rob2700]

This movie was just so..., I don't know, average, I guess? I really don't know how else to describe it. Nothing spectacular but on the flip side, nothing terrible. Despite some kids sitting behind me who thought it was just hilarious to pretend that they were "trippppiingg baalls, maaan!", I enjoyed it.

The only thing I really didn't like (because I saw it in "2D"), was how some of the scenes had to have a "3D moment". Like where something needlessly had to "jump" at you or fly across the screen. It took my attention away from the scene itself at times, and, sadly, I know that this is going to become the biggest trend in film making.

I would agree with this post, and I also had annoying kids sitting behind me haha. I hate 3D because it seems so cheesy to me, and I felt like the moments where it was obviously made for 3D were a bit distracting (since I did see it in 2D). However, I did like how much they incorporated Jabberwocky into it, because I wasn't sure how much they would. I studied Jabberwocky and Mimsy Were The Borogoves in one of my classes last semester, and the moment I saw the Bandersnatch it made me smile.

[Justin_stacy]

planning on taking my 2 year old, but after the awful response I've seen, and the terrible trailers...I think I'm gonna wait. Too bad cause the dark cartoony look/feel is her favorite. I'm just not sure I can set through it.

[just.Starla.]

I just got back from seeing this, and while I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would, I still thought it was okay.

So there.

[argg_xo]

Tweedle Dee and Dum freaked me out.

[Nimby]

Saw it last night. Cheshire Cat = win. Thought Johnny Depp was great too though I didn't quite understand why he was only Scottish SOME of the time. I guess because he's mad? xP

EDIT - And I saw it in 3D and actually didn't think it was used in a gimmicky way. The only bit I can think of was when the March Hare threw a cup at the screen.

[bowl of oranges]

My brother saw it with his girlfriend last night and he didn't like it.
But he also didn't like There Will Be Blood so I'm not really trusting him 100%, but it's still discouraging.

[drudo182]

People obviously haven't liked the film so just see it and make up your own mind.

[atticusfinch]

I thought it was terrible. 3/10. It gets that score due to the mad hatter dance towards the end, and for bringing up bad memories of the dance scene in Spidey 3.

Visually appealing, sure, but no substance.

I didn't really either but when I saw it Friday at four in the afternoon, and it was sold out, I figured it would end up with a huge amount this weekend. That's pretty crazy how much it made though.
