Review: Alice In Wonderland

Its not a great Burton film, but thankfully this update of the classic Alice tale loads better than when Burton got his hands on the disappointing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

The film is full of fine performances from the mainly British cast (Helena Bonhem Carter's Queenie rip-off is the highlight), with just a couple of annoying bits that blight it - firstly the whole fudderwhacking business which is built up throughout the film ends up as a major letdown, with what should've been a highlight turning out to be 10 seconds of rubbish CGI special effects with dodgy some music that ruins the tone of the film. Also Anne Hathaway as the White Queen gives a pretty ropey performance doing her version a Depp, unsurprisingly she fails, coming across oddly cold for someone supposedly full of love.

But these are minor flaws, and the film is a fun two hours - just one that probably won't stay in the memory for long.
