Not bad, but it consistently felt as though we were watching a Shakespearean actor surrounded by neighborhood playhouse volunteers. Stewart's performance was so far above that of his fellow actors, that it felt as though his character was living a show unto itself with only cursory interaction with the rest of the story. It's an okay watch, but if you bypass it, you're not missing anything. Waiting for CBS's remake to come out on DVD to check it out.

As much as Tin Man was more a continuation of The Wizard of Oz, so this movie is of Alice In Wonderland. Obviously, she's not the same Alice, but you'll root for this one just the same. It's an enjoyable, fun escape in the vein if Tin Man. I recommend it if you've got 3 hours available to watch something fun and creative.

I rented this thinking it was an animated adaption of the novel. It's not, it's a prequel to a video game, I think, based on the novel. Should be good for gamers to watch, anyone else might want to just skip it. Watched the trailer for the game on the DVD, and the animation in the game is fantastic. Not so in the film. I am curious about playing the game now, though.
Liked this movie. Might've loved it, had the ending not sucked. I understand the ending, it just doesn't jive with the rest of the film. Disappointing.
