I was a little skeptical of this movie. I did not like the first one very much, however, this one was much better than I expected. I loved the outfits and the set. What impressed me the most was the story. I read an article about this movie months ago and the writers wrote the movie based off of one line in the book. Referring when the Hatter was talking about how he and time quarreled. It caught the writers eye because the Hatter was talking about Time as a person and not an object, or a moment. All through the movie I was thinking "This whole movies was inspired by one sentence from a book and how many people missed".
Overall it was a wonderful time back in Wonderland.
