I've been wanting to watch this movie for ages and I've finally been able to. It's a modernised adaptation of the classic tale by Lewis Caroll.
I've never liked Alice in Wonderland as a child. The story was just too confusing for my small brain. haha. And while I went to the movies to watch the Tim Burton movie, I mostly did so to see Johnny Depp on big screen. In my opinion, it was just an okay movie.
I really wanted to watch this movie, though. I saw some scenes on youtube and instantly knew I'd have to watch this. The movie didn't disappoint. Not even a little.
Alice was well developed and totally relatable. Hatter wasn't as mad as what I had come to expect with the other versions, but much more lovable. I also really loved Jack - Alice's boyfriend. The other characters were also very well portrayed.
The costumes and the visuals were also amazing. The numerous outdoors shots, the Casino which was basically in form of a tower made of cards, were simply perfect to make us think she really stepped into another world .
And the ending was just beautiful. It made me go all 'aww' even if I kinda expected it.
I'd give it a 4.5/5 if I had to rate it :P
