I actually liked this movie. I thought that because it was so hyped up and that I was excited for it, it would be a big let down. But it actually was not. I was acting like a five year, giggling, laughing smiling. It could have been because it was in IMAX, or because it was the midnight showing and that I was tired. It could also have been that we all dressed up as the charachters. But I loved it. It was a Johnny Depp and Tim Burton project, which I will never get tired of, even if everybody else will.
Filled with a bunch of big stars, Mia Wasikowska did fairly well. The only bad part was the Alice was written to be kinda a whimp, and bland. She didnt have any memory of ever being there and she was boring besides the fact that she was in this amazing wonderland. (which is called underland. Makes sense there in a land in a rabbits whole, under the world.) The charachter did work for it though. She was not 7 anymore. She was 19, and it was resonable for her to not believe in it or think it is real like she did before.
Then of course there is Johnny Depp. Makes the movie awesome as he brings the Mad Hatter back to life. He was not over acted. (which one review said). He was awesome. He actually acted crazy and made me think that he was actually mad. Unlike the cartoon where I thought the dude was a little weird. Maybe to happy. He had extreme make-up. Awesome. Talked funky. Awesome. WAS JOHNNY DEPP. A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! I mean he talked funky because he went of on weird rants in differnt accents that just brought the characheter to it potential. It was even great when he was brought back to reality. I cannot see any one else but Depp playing this charachter.
The others where Helena Bonham Carter who played the Red Queen. One of my favorites. She had a huge head, exotic make-up, and the attitude that went with the role. She was perfect for the role. I was a little sketchy about Anne Hathaway being the White Queen. It was o.k. but The way she walked, even sat or did anything, with her arms bugged the crap out of me. With Crispin Glover as the Knave of Hearts, Matt Lucas as the excentric, hillarious, and awesome twins Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, Stephen Fry as the incredible, sneaky, cool looking Chesire Cat, Micheal Sheen as nerotic White Rabbit, Alan Rickman playing the weird Catapillar, Barbara Windsor as the zany, cut Dormouse, and Paul Whitehouse as the cracked-out March Hare, all the charachters are rocking and the movie became what it is.
Beside the list of the all star class, Alice in Wonderland, had a plot. Actual moments that were awesome. Like at the end when the the Mad Hatter did his dance, and I went nuts and thought it was epic. The Futterwacken Dance. Or when the poem about the Bandersnatch and Jaberwocky. With them actually being part of the movies. (By the way, the Jaberwocky I drew was better.) And the always great riddle " What do a raven and a writing desk have in commen?" Ofcourse, Mad Hatter does not know and we never have a sure answer. This movie is great for little kids, teenagers, and maybe adults. I recommend watching it. Whenever. You just really really really have to see it. Soon. Really soon.
