Boring and Meaningless

Rating: 5/10 (22 October 2016)

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.
