Alice in Wonderland (2010)

Powerful

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

As a live action film for Disney this wasn't all that bad. It had it's moments of comedy and thrills. The main reason I watched it was because I was interested to see the eccentric Johnny Depp and his portrayal of The Mad Hatter. He did not disappoint, he was eccentric, outlandish, funny and charismatic. I also enjoyed Helen Bonham Carter (Red Queen) and Anne Hathaway (white Queen) characters. The story was as elegant as always. The sequences seemed to flow nicely and the CGI and artistry of sets was done well. I give this a realistic 6 out of 10

Making a dreamy land is better than making a real land. Even foolish guys know that Alice was in wonderland not a rel city therefore they wouldn't repeat some funny behaviors of movie actors in reality.

Tim Burton & Co did a fantastic job with this movie! So he deviated from giving a straight adaptation from the animation to live film... So what!? He still incorporated all of the characters from the film, updated the story to 21st century film techniques/technology, and also added "The Burton Effect". Disney often gets so scrutinized the moment they decide to tweak their new content! After all, how boring would the movie had been had they strictly followed the animation? We'd all know how the movie went from start to finish. I'm excited to see Through the Looking Glass!

The visual effects are great, as all Tim Burton movies are. Beautiful colors, costumes, etc. The story should have been based more on the original tale, and not make up some meaningless battle between the pretty queen and the ugly queen. The plot is obstinate and the action is not at all exciting.The characters are actually interesting and distinctive, each dressed beautifully. But they don't seen very related to each other, maybe because of the unique characteristics but there are no elements that makes the viewer tie them as actual "friends" or "team". The most friendly character is actually the bandersnatch. AND Alice always orders everyone to do everything for her and is very selfish.The story then goes on very slowly without any exciting thing happening, except for some parts where the Red queen acts silly. She's my second favorite character. After all, everyone hates her and she needs mental treatment, not be banished to some scary place. Anyways, the story continues on until Alice successfully kills the Jabberwocky with her weak arm power and saves the cheeky White queen. Actually, it was the Cheshire cat who was the real hero. Then, Alice leaves and she succeeds in not marrying Hamish and feeding her family.
