I’ve watched Alice In Wonderland! Yes! Yes!

That’s like one of my new year resolution achieved! *grins in satisfaction*

Well you know how it is. It’s kind of is like those unwritten new year resolutions you keep repeating to yourself but deem not significant enough (unlike safe the whales or be a millionaire) to put to the list.

Making mental note to watch Ironman 2 in May. Anticipate!>o<
 

Anyhow, i totally adore Alice in Wonderland. Tim Burton outdone himself once again.

I knew that Burton’s version of Alice diverts from the original children story. Anyone who saw the movie trailer knew to expect a deeper and darker side of the fairytale – the trailer was a little creepy to tell the truth. i had very high expectations when i went to the cinema that day.

But i came out with a happy smile on my face :)).

Not only was the CGI fantastic – i watched it in 2D coz i get nauseous with 3D (totally adore the dark but strikingly colorful tone of the movie), the casts gave a flawless performance.

Was a little disappointed with Johnny Depp though – not for his performance which to me could go no wrong but for the character he was playing, the Mad Hatter.
 

In this version of Alice, Hatter was far too emotional and desperate, a big contrast to the original happy and bonkers Hatter. At the end of the movie, Hatter did his famous Futterwacken dance which i deem corny and a waste of movie frame.

Other than that, Mia Wasikowska played Alice to perfection. An actress i’m definitely going to watch out for in the future.

She and Helena Bonham Carter who played the Red Queen stole the show.
 

Needless to say the Red Queen is my fav character. Carter makes a very, very convincing queen. She was made to play the tantrum-throwing-big-headed-queen.

I just can’t get the scene when the queen goes “I need a pig here!” and a live pig slid under her feet out of my mind. LOL!

Brilliant!
