A nice warped look

Rating: 7/10 (14 October 2010)

I had many people tell me this movie was horrible. But they don't know what they are talking about. Lets split it up. First off, it is not the original, this takes place a lot later in Alice's life. I will admit that the whole story was pretty bland. But the characters and who that casted were perfect to the T; with a few errors. I couldn't think of a better cast. Then add in Tim Burton's mind and you got some great visuals. Mia Wasikowska was a decent Alice. Helena Bonham Carter played an excellent, yet strange Red Queen. Ann Hathaway was not a good White Queen, I will admit that. Crispin Glover was a very strange Stayne, but it was perfect for his personality. Matt Lucas had the perfect personality for Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Then Alan Rickman had the perfect voice for the Blue Caterpillar. A smaller part I enjoyed was by Paul Whitehouse who played the March Hare. His character was really funny. Now I wanted to mention my two favorite characters. Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat. The Hatter had a double personality. When he was calm and nice his voice was soft with a lisp. When he got angry it would be a strong Scottish accent. Depp had this perfect. The design and CG of the Cheshire was a joy and Fry had the voice perfect for it. So overall, the visual and the personality of the film was amazing to watch. It just really needed a stronger story.
