The visuals and the story are great, maybe the movie aged half and half over time, but in personal opinion it's a really good live action, even current disney live actions can't beat it. It remains to date my favorite disney live action

Wonderland is equal parts Lewis Carroll and Grace Slick. It’s inspired by Carroll’s "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass," but also, apparently, by Slick’s psychedelic ‘60s anthem, “White Rabbit.” It’s a trip, man.
It might be time for Johnny Depp and Tim Burton to start thinking about seeing other people. Alice in Wonderland, their seventh film together, is so thoroughly soul-deadening and laborious that the prospect of an eighth collaboration feels like the sword of Damocles.
Bizarre but oddly not bizarre enough, this fun little adaptation is worth watching but, unfortunately, is not as bonkers as one might think a Tim Burton film of Alice has the potential to be. 6.3 out of 10
This movie is not nearly as good as when I was a kid who watched this but even then I noticed something was off and I couldn't forget why, watching this as an adult I figured it out too much CGI gunk all over the place and the story wasn't really all that exciting also this is supposed to feel like an adventure/fantasy world but it felt like it was covered in an air of Gothic feels that Tim Burton is known for that's great for Sweeney Todd but for not for wonderland I want bright color and light kind of feels and not something tone down for it to be taken serious, anyway the magic and nostalgia is gone for me.
This film tells the story of Alice, a young nineteen year old girl who discovers, by chance, the entrance to a magical world called Wonderland. Directed by Tim Burton, the film has a script written by Linda Woolverton, based on the **** story of Lewis Carroll. The cast is led by Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Anne Hathaway, besides the voices of Michael Sheen, Stephen Fry, Alan Rickman and other actors.
Most people know, even lightly, the story of "Alice in Wonderland". But this story supposedly takes place several years after the first trip to that place, where absurdity is the norm. And so begins Tim Burton to make rookie mistakes, unforgivable for a director with his curriculum. The script totally ignores the events of the original story, and Carroll's book seems to have been used only to copy the settings and characters. To make matters worse, there is no logic in Alice's behavior while in "our" world, and chase a rabbit to escape from a party where you don't want to be is poor excuse for doing so.
The actors shared the scene with magical creatures and had a regular performance, but uninspired, especially Mia Wasikowska, who was a poor Alice. Very warm and boring, she never shows feelings of fear, shock or surprise in a credible way. She was undoubtedly a casting error, and Burton again failed because he should have seen it and fixed it. Johnny Depp did a good job, and somehow manages to give some shine to the film. Nevertheless, he sometimes exaggerates in the antics, and I don't know if that was good for the movie. The two Queens, represented by Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter, were good in their roles, although Hathaway could be better if she had more time scene to develop her character.
The most interesting of this movie are the scenery, the costumes, the makeup and the visual/special effects. Its usual to find, in the films of this director, these elements highly developed and mature. Burton is very creative. But, I don't know why, a few years ago, he gives them too much importance, and that undermines the movies because he completely forgets everything else that is part of the film, like the direction and choice of actors or (especially) the writing of scripts. The excessive computerization aren't enough to make a good movie, although the name of a renowned director can sell cinematic garbage very well and income Oscars in technical categories (this movie won the statuettes for Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects and Best Makeup). I hope that Mr. Burton, before returning to make a movie, spend some time away from computers, to detoxify himself of obsessive mania for that things.
