Flawed Plot covered by stunning Visuals

Rating: 2/10 (9 March 2010)

These days lets face it, when it comes to films like these with all the technology and money behind it we expect stunning visuals, But thats it, thats where it ended with this film. Stunning Visuals weak story, i always remember The characters from the world of the wonderland to be a mystery not something you can write down on paper and understand that was the Great part of the characters! the sense of the Unknown, but this film has brought them back down to earth with a gigantic thud!!! and given them morales to boot, made them less of a mystery and more understandable. What about the Plot, why o why???? Alice gets pulled back into the world to help rid it of the evil queen of hearts?? why?? she's part of that world! part of what it is! and if i remember correctly she wasn't exactly a mother Teresa last time she was there!!, oh!!!...she has to kill a dragon...thing...with a sword that seems to have no powers and has no connection with Alice so i don't know why she needs to do it!! and she needs to kill it so people wont be scared of the evil queen, which again doesn't make sense because she never uses the dragon for anything in the film anyway...but there ya go... the Cheshire Cat appears whenever as you expect, and moves things with his invisibility power...which is where the plot is flawed, the Cheshire cat can go invisible, get the key, unlock the box which has the sword and chop the dragons head off without anyone knowing and the mad hatter can be back in time for tea!!! end of film, but no! that would be to obvious.
So Alice was dragged back to wonderland which she couldn't remember who or what things were (even though she had been there before and dreamt about it for 13 years) and the characters decided that they would get Alice to do there Dirty work..in a nutshell. Stick to the original cartoon, thats where the real masterpiece lies.
