Ok, firstly, have to say that this movie is definitely not for children, although it is a so called 'fairy tale'.
I re-watched the cartoon version of Alice in the Wonderland which produced by Disney few months ago before I watch this movie. And I was very excited when I first heard Tim Burton will direct the movie version for Alice, looking for the day released from last year.
Have to clarify here that I am never a Alice fans, not when I was young, not now, and never in the future. I always think that Alice is a creepy 'fairy tale', all the characters in the story are so crazy and 'evil', it's scary sometimes, especially the cat Chessur, open it's mouth laughing without voice, can made u have bad dream at night.
The director has modify the story plot, which made the story have a more complete storyline. Unlike in the cartoon version, the story is like not a complete story, cannot predict and you wouldn't know what they are going to do, you even wouldn't understand what and why are they doing so, everything is like a mess. The story of the original Alice is more like a bedtime story told by a unprepared father, simply create a character with crazy personality, just to satisfy his child, comfort his child to going to sleep.
The beginning part of the movie is a bit boring, which describe how Alice grow into a big girl, how she was proposed and how she back to the wonderland but forgetting everything she's been to the wonderland when she was young.
Designing of the famous character in Alice is very successful, the Red Queen with a huge globe on her neck- which the face will turn red when she is angry, big contrast with her 'kind-hearted' sister White Queen, who is really 'white', u can get very 'eye pain' whenever she appear on the screen. And of course our beloved Johnny Depp who act as the Mad Hatter, those scary green eye- which will turn colors whenever he getting emo.
However, very sorry for those who watch the movie just because of Johnny, cause the main actor will not be him. After you watch the movie, there will not be Mad Hatter in your memory. Yes! After all it is Alice's movie.
I found it very interesting with the changing of costume of Alice. 6 times she changing her outfit, her dresses are really elastic, follow her size whether to shrink or turn large.
The ending is a bit hilarious, I don't understand that, is Alice turning to be a business woman??? I don't know...
For those who going to watch this movie, I suggest that you can purchase the normal ticket (not the 3d version), which a friend of mine suggested me, which I think the same, the normal ticket is already good enough.
p/s: sorry to Tim Burton, I have to say that you disappoint me once again.
