I'm going to be completely honest and say that this did drag slightly in parts and the story got a little weird but if you can over look both these things then it's a very interesting take on the original Alice in Wonderland series. It must be said that Andrew Lee Potts performance saves what could have been a very average storyline, his portrayal of the lovable and charismatic hatter really gives the plot an added boost. Unfortunately I wasn't too impressed with the actress that portrayed Alice, I thought her performance was a little flat at times which resulted in me not rooting for the main character as much as I should have been. Kathy Bates did a good but forgettable performance of the queen of hearts while the actor who portrays the white knight gives some added comic relief often delivering the best one liners such as "Bullseye!" or "You're probably wondering how a brave knight like me got captured". While I don't think this title will be a particularly memorable watch for many people I do feel that is worth watching purely out of interest and if for nothing else then definitely for the very handsome Mr Potts.

I just caught this by chance on SyFy today. It was incredible. I'm shocked I'd never even heard of it. Surely not for every taste, but it kept me watching until the end.Alice In Wonderland was already a 'shroom trip of literature, but this was taken to another level. A great update to an already wigged-out tale. The British guy that played the Mad Hatter, Andrew Potts, really made this thing for me. He was excellent. Truly odd in every way. I know some people aren't up for such things, but one thing is for sure, you won't be bored.The only people I recognized in this were Colm Meaney and Kathy Bates, as the King and Queen of Hearts. Their parts were fairly small, but everyone in this thing seemed perfect for their roles. Bates was supremely evil. A great job by all involved here.

i thought this was a blast. i didn't really get it. but i thought it was really cool and a lot of fun. it wasn't really the children's classic at all but something updated and modified for adults.that's just fine with me since i own on DVD so many versions of 'Alice' and many of them are very faithful that i don't think i could stomach another attempt at "faithful". and i liked the fact that this was for adults, the Tim Burton movie was original and did it's own thing, but it was still basically aimed at a 'kid' audience.the story was pretty weird and it's message, something about instant gratification, seemed to get lost in all the kooky goings on. the white rabbit/March hare was really scary and so were Tweedle Dumm and Tweedle Dee. Kathy Bates was also scary as the Queen and she was basically playing the same character she did in 'About Schmidt'. now that's scary.i'm sure this whole thing is going to leave me permanently confused for the rest of my days, and i'm sure the movie had a very good moral. that is if you happen to be an oyster. beware the scary rabbit.

I always loved Alice In Wonderland. Not to mention Peter Pan. They were two of my great favorite when I was a child.Granted, reading the original Alice and Through the Looking Glass books are like walking through a very strange dream.But this... this just seems to be a desperate attempt to cash in on the name. Some of the names and situations are lifted from the books, but most are twisted beyond all recognition.There is none of the original wit and interesting word play.I'm disappointed. It looked so good. Its not. Its just "meh" in the "its kind of interesting" way.
