I finally saw Alice in Wonderland in 3D the other day. I have to say I was distinctly unimpressed, despite preparing myself for disappointment after reading some mediocre reviews. I thought that Burton's Wonderland (or Underland as he refers to it) was surprisingly unimaginative for his standards; I was expecting an even darker, more twisted and mysterious version of the original. Also the fusion of the Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through The Looking Glass narratives made for a disjointed and lacklustre storyline, with a particularly weak and random conclusion.Its saving grace was the character of the Red Queen, played to perfection by Burton's fave Helena Bonham Carter. She was funny and strangely endearing; the character must have been extremely inspired by Blackadder's Elizabeth I as Bonham Carter's mannerisms were uncanny!
