Alice in Wonderland

guess my previous post scared some of my friends of there. "You look intimidating!" that's what they commented.

anyway, another movie review. Alice in Wonderland.

well, how do i start off with?

i wasn't quite satisfied with that movie frankly speaking. well, i purposely watched the Alice in Wonderland Cartoons (1951) on Youtube. and though i thought the cartoon was completely random, and out of focus, yet, it proves that it was much better than the hollywood version of Alice in Wonderland. 

reason being, one. the beginning part was a bit draggy. the part where Alice shrinking and growing out size has been unnecessarily long. she wasted many time in figuring out how to get through the small door. well, maybe that's the whole point of the movie. yet, it will make the audience to get bored, especially those who haven't watched Alice in Wonderland before. 

two, i simply don't like the girl who played as Alice. she was err...stiff. stiff in her facial expression, and her body gestures too. she can still look the same when she was happy and she was crying. did i over-exaggerate it? nah, i honestly think that many teen actress out there can be much better than her. but not Miley Cyrus please.

three, the whole movie has turned into the typical hollywood fantastic storyline. oh, the girl is the outsider, she is fated/predicted/ destiny/prophesy to be the CHOSEN ONE, who can rescue the whole nation. when i was watching, it really reminds me of Narnia. see, they both have white and red parties that are opponent on each other. they both have bizzare looking monster/creature in the war. well, maybe they just wana make the story to make sense after all? but, sorry fail max.

yet, i like certain characters in the movies too. though i'm kinda big fan of Johnny Depp but his Mad Hatter doesn't please me that much. like him in Public Enemies. =)

i like the red queen. Helena Bonham Carter. she was really good. what a mean queen, that was actually lonely deep inside her heart. i remembered she said that, it is better for people to awe u, instead of loving u. something like that, cnt really remember completely though.

awesome make up skills too! head 3 size bigger hahaha

and, i love the cat too! i couldn't stop laughing when the cat appeared on the screen, he looks more adorable compared to the cartoon version. he was just...wow...i don't know how to put in words. he's just too amazing! hahahahahaha. not to forget the twins. yet, they seem happier in the cartoons. they looked like they are suppressing their thoughts in this movie. like something is on their mind and they couldn't really be happy?

perhaps that's the style of Tim Burton. the movie was actually quite depressed. couldn't sense any merry in the movie, even after the victory. FabberWacken? nah, it didn't impact me much. 

overall, the movie is best if u can watch it at home, rather than watching in cinema. coz...at least when u r annoyed by the damn Alice in the movie, whom is like superb damn noob and stiff, u can skip her part, and jump to other scenes. 

i rate it 7 over 10.

i sound so mean! damn, too much of Gossip Girls. btw, it was all my humble opinion. and it's completely subjective. so yeahh...

Off the Heads!
