I absolutely loved this movie. I heard a review on the Today show this morning and got a little worried, but after seeing it...i have a new favorite movie. Tim Burton is a fantastic conceptual thinker and the crew behind this movie made Wonderland come to life. The cast for the movie was another fantastic aspect to this movie. The new comer Mia Wasikowska (Alice) did a wonderful job portraying Alice.
The balance between the characters was great, each contributed to the story offering something to further the plot, and Kate and I both liked how the plot and story line was built around the Jabberwocky poem.
The visuals in the movie where beautiful, and the special effects and CGI surroundings just stunning.
I don't want to give away any part of the story so I'm not going into that, but i thought it flowed well and was easy to follow. No it does not follow either book, but i think that is ok for this one cause it makes a story of it's own.
I recommend this movie to everyone (some kids might get frightened at parts, but they'll get over it) and it's for sure a movie i will be seeing more then once. I wish Disney would put out more merch for it however.
