Visually stunning (and not in a good way)

Rating: 1/10 (3 March 2011)

The first thing that you notice when watching this movie is the extreme use of visual effects. It seems the film makers hoped by throwing a lot of vivid colors and crazy looking people at the audience, they in turn would not notice the utter piece of crap from a once good director (who hasn't had an original idea for a movie in years). Now I have not read the Alice in Wonderland books, but have always been interested in the story, so I won't attack how faithful this movie was to the source material. Although Mr. Burton did say himself that this movie was merely inspired by the books.
First off like many people I was interested in seeing what Johnny Depp's Hatter would be. Instead I got Captain Jack Sparrow who can't figure out what accent he should use American, English, Scottish, Irish, and for some reason a random lisp that disappears most of the movie, Next we have Helena Bonham who's performance might have been good (I can't remember because all I could think of was how fake and stupid that head looked) as far as Ideas go making her head large may have been funny, if it didn't look as fake as it did. Then we have Crispin Glover, surprise he's playing a creepy character again, gotta love the range. His performance was also thwarted by terrible visual effects, how can the LOTR make a large man look tiny yet years later we cant add just a foot or two to Crispin Glover without making it look like someone did it in photo-shop for a high school project.
But the main thing that surprised me about this movie was Anne Hathaway. It takes a lot to make her not look beautiful, congratulations Tim Burton you have succeeded! Why does every woman in a Tim Burton movie look like a corpse? I am not a necrophiliac, i do not find pale woman made up to look like a corpse attractive, So Mr. Burton please for the love of god stop doing it.
