Alice in Wonderland

Burton didn't tell a story, he simply narrated. The most frequently asked question by me was why the film is not fully animated, since everything is as artificial as the interior of a Chinese car. In the overload of "Burton-esque visuals," completely in CGI, everything is lost... except for Mia Wasikowska, who carries the whole confused (!!) mess to the end. This time, that’s liberation. It’s sterile, boring, kitschy, plastic... the perfect repellent for viewer empathy. (16/05/2010)

The weakest Burton film ever. Unfortunate, but it's true. Alice is too digital, it drags (it only really picks up in those moments when the images are finally supported Danny Elfman's good motif) and is very uninteresting in terms of plot. Moreover, with perhaps two exceptions (Hatter's farewell, the digital dog and his family), it lacks any emotion. The pros: The aforementioned music (including an Avril Lavigne song), Helena Bonham Carter, a great feline named Cheshire Cat and a few funny moments. Otherwise, there’s not much, I'm sorry to say.__P.S. The return to wonderland worked much, much better in Spielberg's Hook. (17/08/2010)

The movie excited me in the cinema, but mainly because of the colorful orgies. Yes, who wouldn't like a bit of kitsch here and there. But then the film got stuck in my head and personally, I consider it one of the worst that Tim Burton has made. Depp has found the right role for himself again here. And he is great, he is funny. And he is the same as in his recent films, although the mask is different. The visual orgies are beautiful, but the main Alice did not find the right performer in Mia. Actually, she quite successfully opposes me. This is simply something that didn't sit well with me. Great actors, interesting role, but why does it have to be an adaptation of "Alice"? In terms of plot, it's just another Hollywood spectacle. (06/01/2014)

The renowned king of bizarre worlds finally embarked on the most famous journey, and although he couldn't live up to the huge fan expectations, he certainly pleased with a trip with slight modifications of the classic story. However, surprisingly, everything depends on how much attention Johnny Depp attracts. His Mad Hatter is not just a supporting character, but an equal protagonist who almost outshines the amazingly furious Red Queen or the likeable Alice herself. 75% Spoileroid PS: Even I was surprised by how much I was saddened until the confirmation of the second part, that Burton didn't completely go against the rules and didn't let Alice stay with the Mad Hatter. That unspoken romantic bond was screaming for it. (05/03/2010)

I had a great time. The film was off the rails just like the book on which it was based. Mia Wasikowska was extremely convincing, Anne Hathaway was hilarious, and I’m not exactly a fan of hers, Johnny Depp was at his wackiest, Helena Bonham Carter was fantastic ("I need a pig here!” and "Off with their heads!" – brilliant) and Crispin Glover was sleazy to the core. Except for a few minor details, I was satisfied. (20/11/2016)
