Meow.

I went to see Alice last night and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Loved the Cheshire Cat, and the March Hare who made me giggle a lot.

Johnny plays the Mad Hatter magnificently. I did notice a couple traces of Jack and one of Sweeney in there but other than that he has made a wonderful new characterisation for us.

I thought Mia Wasikowska (Alice), Helena Bonham Carter(Red Queen) and Crispin Glover (Knave of Hearts) played their roles with equal excellence but was a little disappointed with Anne Hathaway's performance as the White Queen.

It was the first time I had viewed a film in 3D and that part wasn't quite as good as I had expected, but, having said that, it still added to the enjoyment for me. Will I go to see it again? Oh, yes, if I get the chance and can afford it.

For anyone who didn't quite understand some of the language used and would like to there is a glossary here and a link to the complete Jabberwocky poem here

My Melissa saw it in 3D too and really enjoyed it, she thought J Depp was fantastic in his role, but then he always is really isn't he? well for the most part anyhow.

Loved "Alice"!! Saw it last weekend. But I love this sort of thing anyway. And I usually like what Tim Burton does. "Nightmare Before Christmas" is one of my favorites.

Anyways, "Alice" wasn't the best example of a film to watch in 3-D. I think it would be just fine without it. I saw it in 3-D, i-Max on that huge screen and that was fun, but it would work on my little TV screen as well. I think movies need to be filmed with a 3-D camera for it to really work well.

Helena B-C was freakin' hysterical in her role as the Red Queen! Loved the giant head!

Yes, I'm really looking forward to the DVD.
