OK so...

Rating: 8/10 (11 September 2012)

I watched the movie almost fifteen minutes ago and I could say that I surprisingly enjoyed it. I didn't understood all of those awe thoughts about the story of Alice, I personally didn't liked the story, thought it was too unreal, kind of childish, but the movie was more appealing and gave a different point of view to the hole story. The effects were good, the actors (the real ones) acted very good as well (the animated one too). Seeing Johnny as the Mad Hatter first time shock me a bit, even if I expected to look strange. I didn't know what to think about him, even his voice sounded different, but after a few moments since his introduction I recognized him and even going so far to really like him. He acted great, and he became my second favorite character from the movie after the Cheshire cat. The cat is my first favorite character, just for her teasing and shifty personality, Stephen Fry was great. As for the queens, I like both Anne Hathway's White Quenn as well as Helena Bonham Carter's Red Queen, but I must admit I liked the Red queen more. It's just that magic that Helena pours in every villain she portrays that you can't possibly despise her. Last but not least Mia did a wonderful job playing Alice, at first I must admit I didn't like her, but after a few scenes I started to enjoy her presence. I felt sad that she didn't stay with the Hatter at the end but, it was necessary for her to leave, as she belonged to the real world, but I kind of hoped she would have had met the Hatter in some person she knew in her real life. (like she did with the two brother's for example) The special effects were good but not among the best in my opinion, so I don't know what to say about the won Oscar, but surely they worked hard so I guess the producers deserved some "thanks". But I agree with the costume design prize. I really liked Alice's dresses throughout the movie and other costumes as well. All in all was a good movie.
8.5/10
