Alice in Darkland

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2012)

I watched this movie, and it was pure Burton! Dreary and desolate, with undertones of dark humor. It wasn't your traditional tale, instead of Alice being a young girl who ends up in a whimsical Topsy turvy land ! Like in Lewis Carol's story, she is a young woman who was betrothed to a rich heir. Only to find herself in the vast wasteland , that once was "Wonderland"! Where everyone lived in fear of the large headed Queen of Hearts! Whose rein of terror
destroyed their every shred of happiness. So Alice's adventure was far from wonderful , along the way she encounters colorful unusual characters. A wise cracking cat, a mad hatter a skittish rabbit , and a warrior mouse! Not to mention monsters! Little did she know she would have to be their savior! I found it fun , and entertaining all the way through! I think my favorite character was the hatter ! He was quite comical and added a color to the gloom!
