It tries to add all these battles, prophecy and narrative to a story that is supposed to embrace nonsense. Really Alice is just meeting one strange creature after another so the 2011 version missed completely what the book was all about (and the Disney version). I've really hated all the fairytale retellings of late. Not for me.

Splintered had the same madcap lack of order that the original book had and that has always been such a turnoff for me. <br /><br />The "love triangle" struck me as a bit flimsy. There is zero doubt who she should be with. Anything else will just be a farce, at least at the end of Splintered.
