Alice is not in wonderland but in blunderland........

Rating: 5/10 (28 May 2010)

Alice is back again but this time she is not in wonderland but in blunderland.i receive first and one of the biggest disappointment from movie fraternity this year when i saw Alice in the wonderland.just from the beginning i felt movie slipped from its track.It was never clear what ride Tim Burton wanted to give us from this movie,whether it was the fun ride he intended or the dark fantasy ride filled with surrealism like we get in jean-Peary Junette movies or may be the both but he completely failed in all of them.the result we obtained was totally a blunderous world of Alice and its C.G.I friends.all those computer created characters never seemed to me alive because they were never given heart of script from inside.
all the time i felt like i am watching emotion less drama,there was no high and low points in the story of the movie.the whole movie seemed to me like a plane ride without any thrill or excitement.the whole movie seemed to be pointless and without any purpose to me because movie was not succeeding in deriving any kind of feeling inside me except a slightly pleasant feeling from watching wonderful C.G.I.
i always thought that this novel can only be treated perfectly by Tim Burton or jean Pierre Junette and i was really happy when i heard that Tim Burton is making a movie on this novel.but the movie failed in every department from beginning to end except graphics but they were not enough to save the movie.Tim Burton should have given more emphasis on script.he should make the script more substantial,there was not a single quality in this movie for which i liked the Tim Burton's previous works of big fish and Sweeney toad.
Impressive Casting seemed to be crippled and wondrous special effects seemed to be garbage in the absence of a good script.many good talents wasted in the movies.Mia Wasikowska as Alice was very unimpressive and dull but it was not her fault completely,the character of Alice itself was unimposing and felt less alive than her C.G.I friends.johnny depp as mad hatter,Anne Hathaway as white queen were impressive but still suffered from lack of depth but Helena Boheme carter steal the show,she was tremendous as red queen in fact she was one of the two reasons that kept me interested in movie.another was special effects. beautiful ,colurful, imagination is used to create the wonderland that was the good experience for me,but special effects were not the only thing that i expected from movie,what i expected to see was Tim Burton's world of fantasy.
movie disappointed me but the real disappointment was of seeing johnny depp as such a shallowly and undemanding role of mad hatter.Johnny depp is in the most crucial time of his career and he is wasting his time and talent by doing such unimportant roles.I am big fan of johnny depp and really want to see him winning Oscar for best actor some day but if he continue to do such kind of roles,he will never achieve this.
