A young girl when she first visited magical Underland, Alice Kingsleigh (Mia Wasikowska) is now a teenager with no memory of the place -- except in her dreams. Her life takes a turn for the unexpected when, at a garden party for her fiance and herself, she spots a certain white rabbit and tumbles down a hole after him. Reunited with her friends the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp), the Cheshire Cat and others, Alice learns it is her destiny to end the Red Queen's (Helena Bonham Carter) reign of terror.

Critics Consensus

Tim Burton's Alice sacrifices the book's minimal narrative coherence -- and much of its heart -- but it's an undeniable visual treat.

The New Yorker

The movie badgers rather than charms, but it's rescued by Helena Bonham Carter's brisk performance as the Red Queen.

Disney's is kind of a tepid liberal feminism, but that's far more badass and entertaining than no feminism at all.

The Spectator

It's horribly generic. This is a Disney film and it feels like a Disney film, whereas I'd hoped it would feel like a Tim Burton film.

Loud and Clear Reviews

Alice in Wonderland also portrays Alice’s transition into adulthood: the physical journey into Wonderland mirrors a psychological journey of personal growth in the main character.

Rated: 4.5/5

Den of Geek

A shallow, stunted spectacle that does surprisingly little with its rich source. Instead, it is Tim Burton’s successful stab at inoffensive, unchallenging children’s entertainment.

Rated: 3/5

Deep Focus Review

The outcome is loud and excessive and just plain awful, reminding us that there’s more to filmmaking than art design alone.

Rated: 1/4

This is hands down one of Disneys best live-action remakes that they’ve made. The story is somewhat new and not a shot-for-shot rehash of the original. I’m also a huge fan of Tim Burton, which probably helps my view towards the movie. I can definitely understand why many people are not fond of this film, it is pretty dark and it changes a lot from the source material. The writing isn’t the greatest, but the visual effects and performances absolutely make up for it.

Tim Burton's live-action take on Alice in Wonderland may not be Disney's crowning achievement, but it's a fantastical, fashionable romp that's sure to delight fans of the original tale - even if it doesn't quite tumble down the rabbit hole of innovation. Grading: C+

Aunque la película es un poco anticuada, es una buena película.

Not a bad movie but definitely middle-of-the-road Tim Burton, this adaptation of the classic is missing the wondrous feel & the epic scope it tries to capture, but it's still a fun time with some wacky moments.

É visualmente impecável, um verdadeiro deleite aos olhos, no entanto não segue a narrativa da animação da Disney. Oque sugere que seja uma inspiração e nao uma cópia, e grande parte das críticas negativas parte do pressuposto da expectativa, é óbvio que Tim Burtton não faria algo previsível, assim como é óbvio que teriam elementos que remetem a identidade da Disney, prque afinal, é uma colaboração entre as duas partes, mas é inegável que é o um dos live actions da Disney que teve mais inventividade, não se atendo a ser só mais uma cópia da animação original.
