The Lady came down this weekend, and much cinematographical data was accumulated.
The first thing that should be mentioned about Alice is that it's a pseudo-sequel to the Disney cartoon, rather than a live-action remake. Also, it's set in a post-apocalyptic Wonderland. Obviously, I enjoyed it.
Alice herself was basically a blank, as I expected. The moment she hit Wonder/Underland, she stopped being interesting, aside from being the Chosen One, who, on the Frabjous Day will slay the jabberwock and something something something...
It's a Tim Burton movie, plots aren't important!
Lots of growing/shrinking takes place, the Hatter is mad, Barbara Windsor is a largely irrelevant swashbuckling mouse, the Jabberwock is voiced by Christopher Lee.
The film is worth watching. however, purely for the March Hare.
The movie as a whole isn't bad, and fairly typical Tim Burton fare, which floats many people's boats. The ending is ridiculously annoying though. And the DAMNED FUTTERWACKING...Dear lord.
Next, Percy Jackson!
