Feast for the eyes, not for the Brain

from Riverdale, NY
Great visuals, nice use of 3-D and generally good performances (Mia was perfect!), but surprisingly I was a bit disappointed by Depp and Hathaway who always seemed to be acting. Bonham Carter was also over the top, but her scenes, (as a combination of the Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts), worked. The original Carroll story is both undramatic and too familiar, so the "grown Alice returns to Wonderland" plot was a good idea, but there was no real sense of jeopardy, Alice's climactic choices were never in doubt and the few new "revelations" about Wonderland (characters' real names, etc.) were uninteresting. But I really loved the very ending after Alice returns home, in that we didn't see the "Wizard of Oz" cliche of actors from Wonderland turning up as "real" people in Alice's life.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
