Thirty minutes was as much as I could take of this ponderous, stilted, and humourless adaptation with an Alice old enough to have children of her own. The costumes look as if they're made of crudely modelled papier-mache, and the sets are less charming than the average department-store Christmas window. Alice is a tedious child of priggish manners and limited vocabulary.
You can tell from the first minute that the people who made this movie didn't have a clue. The picture takes ages to get started because we are shown each character in costume and then a closeup of his or her face. Obviously, the reveal should have been made at the END of the movie, so that viewers could have fun guessing.
