I did not like the flow of things in Tim Burton’s, Alice in Wonderland because I was lost most of the movie. I had no idea what was going on a parts of the movie when she had to fight dragons, and the floating cat had no point in being in the movie. I do have to say that Johnny Depp did amazing in Alice in Wonderland. It was one of his better movies, but I would not waste money going to see it again. I would just rent it from redbox for a dollar instead of paying $8 to go see it in theatres.
Many reviewers have said that the movie had lacked the sense of fun. The reviewers were right; it did not have any fun to it. The whole movie was serious and boring. It may have done well in getting money, but I bet people were very disappointed when they walked out of the movie theatre.
The movie, even though it was not very good, it was still a great hit in theaters. It opened at number one with $41 million setting a new record for an opening day in March. Alice had made an estimated $116.1 million just on opening weekend.
Not only did the film do well in the United States but soon after hitting other countries it had received over $210 million! The movie had been in first place for over three weeks, and even when it wasn’t in first it still brought in tons of views. The total amount of money it made was $34 million.

Well, take into consideration Tim Burton’s repertoire. He has a repetition of creating and producing dark and creepy movies. His movies are necessarily meant to be fun, but they have more of a meaning and a theme. Also, take into consideration the imagery and how his extent imagination makes you wonder. He’s a very, very creative being. Take for example: The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sweeny Todd, Batman, etc. Alice in Wonderland (2010), is more modern and seems to me to be a follow-up or some kind of sequel to the original Alice in Wonderland cartoon from 1951. Burton’s movie did not follow the original movie. His had the same characters and same kind of atmosphere, but did not follow the same theme nor story plot. His movies in a way could fall under a suspense genre because it makes you want to sit and watch just to figure out what the resolution will turn out being. Alice in Wonderland (2010) may not have been for all viewers, but in my opinion it was a great movie, just something that some may find different depending on diversity and not being open to things out of the ordinary.
