III. Read the film review, and decide whether the statements are true (T), or
false (F), and tick the correct box.
Have you ever read Alice In Wonderland, by Lewis Carol? I did and I really
like it. It’s an adventure story full of magic and danger. Yesterday I saw Tim
Burton’s version of the film at the cinema.
This story is about Alice, who is now a teenager. A man wants to marry her,
but she runs away and falls down a rabbit hole. She travels to Wonderland,
which she has visited before as a child, and meets a lot of amazing characters
on her adventures
There are a lot of good special effects in the film. The Red Queen, played by
Helena Bonham Carter, is very scary, and Johnny Depp is brilliant as the Mad
Hatter. He has acted in a lot of films before but this is my favourite one.
Mia Waslkowska is good as Alice; this is her first big film and I think
she’s going to become a big star!
Overall, I think this is a good film for teenagers, but it’s a bit long. You should see it if you like fantasy and adventure, but don’t go if you like romances: it’s not
a love story.
