Once I started to watch this movie, it immediately became apparent that the director assumed the audience read the book first. I would think any one who never read the lesser known classic, would be totally lost.
The film, for the most part, did good job sticking to the books story line, though they dropped some stuff, and added others.
The weirdest part was casting an adult actor to play the role of a child ... "I am 7 and 6 months old", said the 20+ year old .
The interactions never seem right with a "childish" adult.
For the most part, the looking glass world looks about what I imagined it to be from the book, though things were changed around a bit.
The oddest part was, one of the Tweedles looking like the guy from A Clockwork Orange.
Over all, it's an all right movie ( if the watcher first read the book ), geared more for younger folks.
Definitely worth a watch.
