Tim Burton's new form of Alice was not at all what I was hoping for. I had expected the man to generate a true reinterpretation, with new problems for the characters in wonderland, but instead parts seemed to have just been shuffled around a bit. The main problem was that the plot was much too linear for an iteration of Alice In Wonderland. Once the queen comes out you know she will be the antagonist throughout. Wonderland is supposed to be about surprises and strange happenings, and I would have much rathered an entirely new cast of Wonderlanders to a rehashing of the same old characters.
Truthfully, I should not fault Tim Burton himself, since the script was not his own. However, I would still would have liked some new characters (just a couple is not enough), and think Burton might have done a wonderful job in bringing his own to life. I look forward to him writing and producing his own script next time.
Do you agree that seeing a new side of Wonderland would have helped with the film?
