Comments: Director Tim Burton and screenwriter Linda Woolverton have labored hard to shoehorn the arch, asymmetrical balderdash of the original works (both Alice's "Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass") into a 3-D, CG-enhanced extravaganza of boring and time-worn fantasy conventions...All the usual suspects are there: the Hatter (Johnny Depp, lisping and looking like Edward Scissorhands' deranged-clown brother); the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter, her forehead ballooned digitally); the Knave (Crispin Glover); the Cheshire Cat (the voice of Stephen Fry); the White Queen (a bleached Anne Hathaway); the Hookah-Smoking Caterpillar (the voice of Alan Rickman); and the bustling White Rabbit (the voice of Michael Sheen)...Visually, there's fun to be had. Landscapes are Burtonesque, fingered branches scratching an ashen, moonlit sky. Every other figure is elongated or exaggerated: the pingpong eyes of the Hatter, the stretched-out body of the Knave. The scenes with the mondo-headed Red Queen are fabulous, in a sick way, as a hissy-fitting Bonham Carter warps her R's and barks out some of the movie's best lines.
