Alice in Wonderland

[katikat]

Rating: ♣ ♣

♦ The movie was really... boring. God, it was so unbelievably boring. It didn't get interesting until the very last battle. Everything else was... well, boring. I'm so glad I didn't pay the full price for this DVD but fished it out of Datart's cheap bin.

♦ I liked Alice in the real world, I liked her attitude and that she chose to travel the world and actually make something of herself, not just marry and settle for the easiest thing available. But I didn't like Alice in the Wonderland. She just rubbed me wrong, I don't even know why.

♦ And Johnny Depp played an eccentric character - again. He was excellent as the Mad Hatter - but I'm so tired of Depp playing a nut in a Tim Burton movie. It's nothing surprising or new or exciting anymore but same old, same old.

♦ My favorite character was actually the Red Queen. I hoped she would be redeemed because all she wanted was to be loved and yet, everybody has always loved the White Queen more, even their parents. And I don't get why. The White Queen annoyed the heck outta me, fluttering around like a deranged moth.

♦ So yeah, eh. I don't get the hype. Maybe because I have never read the book. In my country, Alice and her adventures aren't all that popular. It just isn't a part of our cultural heritage.
