Alice in Wonderland
‘Alice’ in Chains - Underwhelming performances and a muddled plot shackle Tim Burton’s vision of Wonderland
March 10, 2010
Barry Wurst II
Alice in Wonderland
One Star
Rated PG/109 min.
My dad took me to see Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure , my first Tim Burton film, when I was eight years old. It gave me the biggest scare I’ve ever had in a movie theater, when a character named Large Marge tells Pee-Wee a ghost story that ends with her popping her eyes out. Instead of avoiding Burton films out of residual childhood fear, I eagerly sought out every movie he made and became a die-hard fan. That won’t change, despite his latest effort, which is a colossal letdown.
This re-telling and sequel to Lewis Carroll’s classic children’s story ...More
