Rather too dark version had me wondering if there's ever been a truly successful adaptation - I think not. Could have done with more humour, e.g. if the Jabberwock had turned up and she's immediately cut its head off and said 'That was easy'.
Linda Woolverton's opening up of story is quite interesting, though as it's Disney they had to introduce a dog character (Timothy Spall). Costumes, production design, effects good - it looks like one of his animations.
Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham-Carter, Crispin Glover, Matt Lucas, Anne Hathaway, Stephen Fry (unctuously voicing the Cheshire Cat), Alan Rickman, Barbara Windsor, Christopher Lee.
