A wonderful story

Rating: 10/10 (16 March 2010)

I like this film, to see the under land in full swing with Johnny Depp at the helm as the mad hatter. I thoroughly enjoyed his performance seeing his character walk off the deep end. For Alice to remember her place in under land as the slayer of the Jabberwocky the first time and to see her do it the second time was quite fascinating. I loved how Helen Bonham Carter played the evil Queen of hearts with the famous line, 'OFF WITH HER HEAD'. Her head was so huge, it was like watching a balloon speaking with plastered on makeup. And let's not forget, the Cheshire cat, his ability to mist himself was magical. All in all it was quite a satisfying movie of a classic story that kids love even today. Tim Burton did a great job with his vision of dark against light, evil against good, and tea time players which dance on the table with extra zest in their tiny brains who cannot answer to the riddle, 'Why is a raven like a writing desk?'. Seems to bother some people with this conundrum, lest he or she drinks too much tea and waits for oranges to pop out of a toaster oven, wearing late night knickers and a bonnet. Oh that's right, I forgot oranges don't pop do they?
