Movie Review: Alice in Wonderland


So I FINALLY went and saw Alice in Wonderland starring Johnny Depp, and I gotta say it was pretty good. Usually when a movie is so HYPED up, I am disappointed...but Alice lived up to the HYPE HEIST for sure!
So in a nutshull, Alice returns to Wonderland (actually now called Underland)and meets the crazy cast of characters that she first saw during her time in Wonderland, including the Cheshire Cat, White Rabbt, Madhatter and the Red Queen.

Standouts include Depp's performance as the green-eyed crazy Madhatter. As typical with Depp, he makes the character his own and steals every scene he is in.

Did you know...
  • This is Depp's SEVENTH time working with Alice in Wonderland director Tim Burton
  • This is the first Tim Burton film to not have opening credits
  • Former pro wrestler, The Rock, was once considered for the Madhatter role
  • In the opening minutes of the film, there is a shot of the moon, on which the Cheshire Cat's face is briefly visible
  • The movie has grossed over 300 million in the US and Canada alone
