Mad for the Hatter! I stumbled onto Alice by a happy accident and am so glad I did. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a movie this much. I've watched it twice, and it was even better the second time around. This is a twisted, fun, wacky, romantic adventure that keeps you entertained all the way through. Don't expect a replay on the classic Alice in Wonderland. This movie deals with what has happened to Wonderland since the first Alice was there 150 years ago, and how our present-day Alice figures in. The romantic triangle between Jack, Alice, and Hatter will keep you guessing until the end, when you'll be cheering for the outcome. Andrew-Lee Potts' highly appealing Hatter is by far my favorite character, although the entire cast is outstanding. I highly recommend Alice as a must-watch movie.
Wonderful Wonderland (I originally posted this review on the Alice product that is now defunct.)
I accidentally watched this on SyFy--so accidentally that I came in an hour after it started. It's based on the classic tale, so it wasn't too hard to get acclimated. That said, it's a very different story line and I'd really like to see that first hour (and all the rest!) in the very near future.
Andrew Lee Potts=best Hatter ever. Perfect mix of con-man and sweetheart. Alice was believable, especially in the context of Wonderland. The White Knight...think Monty Python meets The Princess Bride. Together, the characters swept me off my feet.
I'd say the show as a whole would rank as an A- on the "A movie"/"B movie" scale, but in a perfect way. I wouldn't have wanted it as an "A movie" show. If you liked Stardust (with Claire Danes and Charlie Cox), you'll love this. Can't wait for it to come out on DVD!Awsome This brand new wonderland is the most fasinating dvd that i ever saw. This movie is dramatic, romantic, exciting, adventurous, and amazing. My kids must have watched it tons of times after I bought it from amazon!Hes mad as a box of Frogs! this movie/mini series was absolutely amazing! definatly not for kids though, but fairly mature 11 year olds and up willl love it! it made me fall in love with the Alice in Wonderland story all over again! The casting is great and absolutely hilarious! I've watched it several times myself, and everyone I've shown it to adores it and wanted to watch it again. I recommend this to any syfy or Alice fan!
Wonderful Renedition - but not the Disney Version My daughter spied the preview on the Syfy channel so we sat down to watch it and LOVED it. We loved it so much we watched the entire thing (over a week) 3 separate times and often play movie trivia questions about it. She's 11 but loves the syfy genre like I do (loves old Star Trek) and really enjoyed this version causing her to ask almost daily "mom, when can we get this on DVD" I'm placing my "pre-order" now so I can put it in her Easter Basket, she'll be so happy.
