Disappointment

Rating: 1/10 (5 March 2010)

So I, (like most of the other people who waited hours in the freezing cold for the midnight showing of this movie) had very, very high expectations for this film. Usually being satisfied with anything Tim Burton (with the exception of The Chocolate Factory, and Corpse Bride), I thought this movie would just be awesome! Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, it's gonna be a huge hit, I thought. Boy was I wrong! I can officially say that I am over the Tim Burton-Johnny Depp film affair, so, so over it. Johnny Depp actually became annoying when watching the film. He jumped from Jack Sparrow, to random Scot Accent, his performance, in my opinion was absolutely horrible. The film had nothing special to it, other than the visuals (which were amazing) but the plot just had no substance to it, no explanation, no reason. It just was. Although "Alice" was charming and quite adorable, it just wasn't "Alice." Bad casting in my opinion. I thought Anne Hathaway did what she could, but her actual character really had no substance. Overall a disappointment, frustration, and annoyance. Looks like we've got another 10-20 years until someone can (hopefully) get it right on this one, and make a decent Alice In Wonderland.
