Did you actually see the film? Because it's good.

Wondering if people actually saw this movie because it was good. Not excellent or amazing but it was good. Much better than the first one. I saw it in IMAX 3D in a completely packed theater and some people even clapped at the end. I am starting to think the reviews and threads are being made by Xmen fans who just want the worst for this movie as a lot of their comments are vague and touch on things only shown in the trailer. "god this movie was terrible" "don't waste your money" "fell asleep" or perhaps you didn't actually see it.

The opening scene was visually stunning along with the sea of time scenes. They gave good back story into all of the wonderland characters. I thought Baron Cohen was really funny as time, and all other parts were played well also. Mia did a much better job emotionally as Alice in this one I thought. The story line behind the red queen and white queen was interesting, and most likely this will win another Oscar for costuming.

Also keep hearing people say the story is all over the place. When did that happen? As I recall the plot was to go back in time to save the hatter, which is what the ENTIRE movie is about. Don't know why people think it was all over the place. When you are going back and forth in time that's not all over the place that's called the plot.

I just don't understand how people can take a movie like Alice so seriously. It's literally all make believe. It was fun and I enjoyed it along with everyone else I saw it with. All in all it was far from being a bad movie. I didn't read the book and didn't walk into it with any expectations and thought it was pretty good and will most likely buy it when it comes out on blu ray. Maybe some people can't separate "bad" from "not what they were expecting".
