I really enjoyed it (review on my blog), but wasn't keen on Depp in Scottish mode. <br /><br />I loved both the Queens and thought more could have been made of their feud, also Burton had combined the Q of Hearts with the Red Queen - they could have been twins ... stop me before I get carried away suggesting plot ideas.Annabel (gaskella)http://gaskella.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-35657978533919400002010-03-10T10:30:59.098+00:002010-03-10T10:30:59.098+00:00I'm sorry to say that I am not a great fan of ...I'm sorry to say that I am not a great fan of Tim Burton and so don't think I'd like this. I tend to find his films rather irritating. What a shame as you sound so enthusiastic -- I think I must be in a minority of one here.harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04470091985662379182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-51363411478493685932010-03-10T10:28:43.853+00:002010-03-10T10:28:43.853+00:00I saw the film at the weekend and it was a fun ada...I saw the film at the weekend and it was a fun adaptation, not brilliant but fun. There was so inspired casting and some lovely changes to the original narrative along with allusions to it and blending with the plot of Alice Through the Looking Glass. All in all, it was a Burton-esque adaptation and meets those expectations.Paperback Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579608422235511054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-30054560930991753852010-03-10T09:31:54.554+00:002010-03-10T09:31:54.554+00:00Simon, do you not think that Kurosawa or Bergman m...Simon, do you not think that Kurosawa or Bergman might have made an interesting version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland?Dark Pussnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-85456665290161515182010-03-10T09:28:43.219+00:002010-03-10T09:28:43.219+00:00I want to go and see this, particularly as Antony,...I want to go and see this, particularly as Antony, the National Trust property where some of it was filmed, is a favourite and somewhere I intend to visit on my holidays next month. I don't want to see it in 3D though and I think I may have missed the 2D showing - I just can't afford £11.35 to wear a pair of glasses and get special effects.verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825551404394913715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-74778943270883160232010-03-10T08:51:06.359+00:002010-03-10T08:51:06.359+00:00thanks for posting this interesting and candid rev...thanks for posting this interesting and candid review Simon - I have not yet seen it but would like to as I like Alice and Burton and agree with you that i cannot think of another director who could really tackle her.... <br /><br />thanks for sharing<br /><br />HannahHannah Stonehamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139146341592918233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-16302255909886743882010-03-10T07:00:18.438+00:002010-03-10T07:00:18.438+00:00I'm still not sure I want to see it.
