Alice In Wonderland 3D

Total Film “Burton isn’t one to fret over story when there’s eye-candy to cook...” A new plot swaps Carroll’s madness for Hollywood requisites but the visuals, wit, full-pelt pacing and game casting compensate. Formulaic closing battle and plot-frame aside, this mad menagerie is freakishly fun to escape to...

The Independent“A whole lack of wonder...” It's as though the film itself forgets its championing of the imagination and decides to dole out some pious Hollywood therapy-speak. Still, there are fine touches...

Little White Lies“Endlessly imaginative, fantastic looking and hilarious to boot...” Wonderful visuals, bravura performances and crazy conceits mostly pave over some potted characterisation. It is the film for which three-and-a-half stars were invented...

Empire“Lewis Carroll and Tim Burton: a dream team or what?...” Sadly Lewis lite and not without flaws but this is as Burtonesque as one could wish for, a real treat for fans of his twisted imagination and great British character actors...

Time Out film“Our heroine’s loopy headtrip...” Much of Carroll’s magical nonsense remains, even if Burton’s film wobbles at the gates of anarchy and ends up being a more average affair than many might expect. The colour has been sucked out and replaced with dark skies and long faces...

The Times“Each scene offers a British luvvie in phantasmagorical disguise...” The characters may be familiar but the plot deviates insanely from the original. Burton lets Alice break the Victorian mould and become an empowering, feminist figure...

Variety“Moments of delight, humor and bedazzlement...” For all its clever design, beguiling creatures and witty actors, the picture feels far more conventional than it should; it's a Disney film illustrated by Burton, rather than a Burton film that happens to be released by Disney...

Guardian“Tim Burton having his cake and eating it...” We turn to Burton for flamboyance, spectacle and a benign whiff of madness. Alice in Wonderland provides all that in abundance. It is a glorious feast for the senses that fades away when the credits roll, leaving barely the trace of a hangover...

The Telegraph“Pure magic...” Carroll's story is a lovely vehicle for Burton's creepy-crawly gothic style and penchant for exotic outsiders, and this film should make parents and children alike laugh, gape, cower and care...
