I saw the new Alice in Wonderland movie today, in 3D!
I really enjoyed watching it, it was a lot of fun.
The 3D and general art style were very nice, but I found the story and character dialogue a bit lacking.
I've just now re-watched the old Alice in Wonderland so as to have fresh memories of both movies for a fair comparison and I've got to say that I still love the old one more.
Tim Burton's scenery and characters are suitably twisted and surreal, but the general tone of the movie, and the way the plot moves along is all together too sane for my liking.
Alice doesn't really show any wonder or awe at her bizarre surroundings, and her interactions with the characters that she meets are all very normal and logical.
It really lacks the surreal deamlike quality of her 1951 adventure.
