I'm sad to report that this movie was not good. The story didn't work, and the ending was awful. And even though we get some fun moments with the Red Queen and the visuals were amazing, the rest of the movie sucked. And I say "sucked" because with the hype, it should have been amazing. (*SPOILER ALERT) We revisit Alice 13 years after she descended into the rabbit hole, and she's about to be proposed to by an English Lord who she does not love. She escapes down the rabbit hole, but cannot remember that she had been there before. As she meets all the fantastical creatures of this world, she finally begins to remember, and helps them thwart the evil Red Queen's plans. I compare it to Robin William's HOOK , which had basically the same plot, but the execution was not there. Sorry Johnny Depp, even your commitment to the character couldn't help the suckage. If you have kids 9 and younger, they will enjoy it. But besides that, make sure you only pay for a matinee, or wait for the DVD.
Rotted.
At least you got to see it with another red queen.
