movie review of tim burtons alice in wonderland

I was very excited to see tim burtons alice in wonderland. You would think who better to make a new movie based on alice in wonderland but tim burton. You would think it be the perfect match of film maker and story. Well in this case you would be wrong. This is not alice in wonderland, it,s just another fantasy movie that ends with a big battle. I kept thinking that this is not wonderland. The characters you love like the mad hatter, and all the rest are not what you expect. The tea party scene is always the most fun and funny part of any movie version and in this movie it,s dark and not at all what you expect or want it to be like. it still has it,s funny bits to it but it sould have been better. Johnny deep is good as the mad hatter but the mistake tim burton made was trying to make him the star of the movie. I have loved the story of alice in wonderland ever since i first saw the disney version of it as a kid. The good thing about the movie is it made me really want to read the book. helen carter was great as the red queen. My mom really wants to see this movie and i,ll take her to see it. I think now that i know what the movie is like mybe i,ll enjoy it more. There is a good idea behind this movie by making it a sequel to the other storys. It,s too bad it does,t live up to the classic storys.
