Alice in Wonderland.


I saw Alice in Wonderland in 3D last night. First, you should know that I have eagerly been waiting for this movie for over a year now and I love the Disney version of Alice in Wonderland. That being said, I was pretty disappointed overall. Don't get me wrong, the visuals are breathtaking and everything they're hyped to be, but I was not a fan of the plot, the dialogue and some of the acting/character development. If you did not know, the story is of a 19 year old Alice who revisits Wonderland, now Underland. I feel like calling it Alice in Wonderland is extremely misleading if it is not a re-make, which it is not. Alice in Underland would have been much more appropriate. Or, at the very least, Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.

I really did not like Alice's character. Her dialogue was so.....simple. It was quite frustrating actually. In one of the early scenes, she literally says, "I cannot marry you Hamish," and then runs away. It makes no sense.

Overall, I was not happy. However, it should be noted that I had a pounding head-ache after a 10 hour shift/slightly unpleasant day at Uniqlo, I was extremely hungry but I didn't want to eat because it was 12:20am and it's not particularly healthy eating at that time, I was so, so, soo tired and I really did not want to be social and see a movie. But, it was my close friend's birthday and the tickets had already been purchased. Actually, it was a pretty unpleasant night.
