Alice has returned

Rating: 6/10 (8 March 2010)

Alice has returned to Wonderland to defeat a dragon that she believes to not be real while everyone else also thinks shes not really Alice. The story isn't what we would have hoped for, but it is still pretty solid, it just wasn't portrayed very well. Ironically, the only acting i was unsatisfied was Wasikowska's. She was a very flat actress, and didn't really put much emotion into it. I'm surprised that she got the part over someone else who I'm sure could have done better.
I loved the characters of the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat. The actors brought so much to the characters. My only problem with Johnny Depp in this movie is that he changed his accent like, 3 times. He should have just stuck with one voice. It may have been purposely used to portray his split personality, but it seemed distracting. Stephen Fry as the Cat was amazing, the voice went really well, and the cat himself looked very strange and creepy and amazing. With the Red Queen, the look annoyed me, but the performance by Carter was amazing as well.
The visual effects were phenomenal, just like we all expected. The story seemed flat, the movie seemed short, and the Jaberwock battle short as well. If the Jaberwock was so great, he would have put up a better fight before Alice totaled his ass. And Christopher Lee only had two lines, he has the coolest voice in the world, and his lines gets cut into two.
I liked it, and will probably get the DVD, but I still believe that Tim could have done better with a project like this.
