Well done, but not my style

Rating: 6/10 (11 May 2013)

Alice in Wonderland was never one of my favorite Disney movies growing up, and I'm not particularly fond of Tim Burton's movies either. So why did I watch this movie twice? The first time was because I was curious, and the second time was because I didn't know what I thought the first time. Overall I would now say that this movie was very well done in it's own dark, weird way. Johnny Depp did his usual fantastic job at being a likable weirdo as the mad hatter, Helena Bonham Carter was wonderful as the deeply messed up Red Queen, and Anne Hathaway (although she had a much smaller part)was amusing to watch as the sweet,peaceful White Queen. The rest of the acting was fine, but those three were definitely the ones that stole the show. The various creatures in the show looked good, and the scenery was beautiful. Despite all of these benefits however I still can't honestly say that I liked this movie. I enjoyed it, and would never go as far as to say that it is a waste of time to see, but it just isn't my kind of movie.
