Verse 1
I am sure we all have seen at least one version of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and if not this version with among others Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter, Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Helena Bonham Carter as Red Queen is not a bad place to start.

Tim Burton is of course the director and if you are familiar with his work you have an idea of what to expect. He doesn't follow the story to the letter but that is not a problem for me, i enjoyed his version of the classic and there are several other familiar actors this cast that do very well interpreting the known characters.
Stephen Fryn does a very relaxed and likeable Cheshire Cat, Matt Lucas known from the tv-series Little Britain play the two weird boys Tweedledee and Tweedledum and if you are a fan of the series you will recognize his manners in Alice.

If you like Tim Burton, Johnny Depp and odd characters in a weird setting i think you can enjoy this movie. It is not ground-breaking in any way but it is almost two hours well spent. I like dialogue that contain material that make good quotes and there are several of those in this movie and that is a bonus in my book.
I recommend it.
