When you take into account that this is a sequel, not a re-make, it was interesting. Getting Alice to . . . oops, no spoilers.

See, now I really didn"t look at it as a sequel, but more as different version of the original story. Though I do see the idea of it as a sequel.

If it's 10 years after she was there before, it's pretty much a sequel.

True, but we didn't see what happened ten years ago. A sequel in my mind implies that there was a previous book or movie. There have been other movies than this one, but not for this version of it. Maybe it would have been better to have called this Through the Looking Glass which is the sequel to the original book Alice in Wonderland. Anyway, I thought it was a great movie and am very happy to have spent the money to see it in the theater and buy it when it first came out.

We've seen the original, read the book. I have no problem with the sequel.
