Alice in Wonderland Review
Tim Burton's 2010 film "Alice in Wonderland" is a strange spin on the classic tale. The film is about Alice's return to Wonderland as an adult, after her time their as a child. It's different and it works well. Wonderland is a luscious and beautiful world, populated by unique and interesting creatures. For a two year old movie, "Alice in Wonderland" has amazing CGI effects, and all of Wonderland looks extraordinary.
Johnny Depp is the only actor who truly shines in this movie, and shine he does. He portrays the Mad Hatter, a mad man with a top hat, orange hair and pasty skin. The Mad Hatter sometimes goes off on rants, which really help to showcase his madness. He is lighthearted and serious at the same time, and Johnny plays this character with such charisma he deserves an award. An actress worthy of mention is Helena Bonham Carter, who plays the Red Queen. Unfortunately, those are the only two actors worthy of notice. Mia Wasikowska, who plays Alice the protagonist, falls short as Alice. She delivers her lines so blandly and without passion that it is hard to feel sympathy for her, even when she's in the most desperate of circumstances. The rest of the characters are played well, but since their roles are so minor it is hard to want to mention them.
Alice's quest leads her to discover more about herself; that she wants to do something important in her life. "Alice in Wonderland" tells a good story, and it is a good movie. That's why I am giving this film an eight out of ten.
