Wonderful Wonderland

Wonderful direction - yes but wonderful story - no – this is the general consensus I’ve read and heard regarding Alice in Wonderland. Being a Tim Burton fan, I can’t fault the film. I thought it was fun, entertaining, unique and captivating. But can you have a good story and direction in the same film? Of course you can. The problem is; what constitutes as a wonderful storyline is only wonderful for some people. With Tim Burton it is one of those Marmite situations – you either love him or hate him. If you love him, the story of the film does not matter.
