God this is so boring

Rating: 5/10 (18 September 2013)

Alice in wonderland, the delightfully cute tale about a girl going to a magical world that has many macabre twist and turns. So what better director to revive this tale in a new light than the man who is known for his dark cartoony style: Tim Burton. That's what I thought at last till I saw the movie, I was very disappointed. First off I might as well mention some of the positives before I rip it to shreds. The overall look is great; even if the CGI isn't great per say, the dark and disturbed atmosphere gives it something to look at and latch onto. The performances by Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are fun, their wacky crazy actions are enjoyable. That's about it. What I tend to hate about this film and another film by Tim Burton planet of the apes remake; ironically, is that the climax are the same and are forced. The same old one side fighting against the other side. Even if it's required, I still don't like it. The main actress; her name doesn't come to mind, is so bland that I could care less about what happens to her or what she does. Like how I mentioned the cool effects, it's also to the film's detriment. It really relies too much on its effects and not on character. There isn't much left to talk about because it's so one note: Alice is back and she has to save the day, there's noting else in there that makes it worth my time or anyone else's.
