Despite making a killing at the box office this past month, Alice in Wonderland has received some rather unfavorable reviews from critics and audiences. The majority of the negativity stems from how far the film strays from the original story by adding new action and character development to the plot. I haven’t read Alice in Wonderland or Through The Looking Glass but am familiar with the general tale. And I've seen the Disney animated film but I’m not really attached to either the film or the books. So I was very open to seeing a retelling of the story that added to the Lewis Carrol story and wasn’t merely a live action version of the 1951 Disney film. But Burton’s adaptation is so awesome that it makes me want to read the books and re-watch the cartoon. And helping a classic continue its popularity is always a good thing. So before all the other blockbusters/3D films erase Alice in Wonderland from our short-term moviegoer memories, I wanted to share my love for the film and encourage everyone to go see it.
