7/10
Okay but not enough action!
12 June 2011
I didn't really read Alice in Wonderland or Through the Looking Glass which is the film's basis for his version. It has a first rate cast like the red queen played by Sian Phillips in one silly red costume and the white queen played by Penelope Wilton again in a silly white costume. There is too much talking at times and not much action for this film to serve a purpose. At the end of the tale, I didn't understand what happened to Alice all along. Did she learn a lesson about the looking glass. Anyway, the costumes are definitely silly maybe too silly to be taken seriously. I didn't understand what Alice and the world in the Looking Glass was doing. I didn't understand how the white queen went from small to life-size to talk with Alice. I thought there were some moments but the writing seemed to take forever for things to make sense or none at all. Still, it should be shown regarding the Alice books.
