May I dare say that Hollywood could’ve done better! The movie version of Alice was entertaining but disappointing. I was expecting a lot more from the film, but rather, the rewriting of the story was a bit of a turn-off, and some characters were rather annoying. The small screen did better with a TV version of Alice which also strays from the book, but in fact, is quite entertaining to the last second! Hollywood with a multi-million dollar budget could’ve easily managed to top that, but at last, not every movie is a success.
Comedic Characters
The Cheshire cat was extremely annoying to me. I don’t know why in particular, but I would blame the animations and the voice and basically everything about the cat except the part where it saved the Mad Hatter that was pretty cool, but back to point, the cat annoyed me. Tweedledum and Tweedledee were really cool though. I thought they were awesome, and they would’ve saved the film for me at least had it not been for the caterpillar. I was always fond of the caterpillar in the book, but in the movie, he looks so old and speaks so little. That was horrible in my opinion. And I mean the Indiana Jones smoke screen entrance followed by an old caterpillar was simply horrible. Caterpillar needed more swagger, and this was a major disappointment. The white queen was too weird throughout the whole film. I’m not sure if people would agree on this, but I thought that she would do more in the beginning. Towards the end, her role was much better, but she started off poorly.
Not Exactly what I was Expecting
Now to some pros. The Mad Hatter was good partly due to Johnny Depp! The Mad Hatter was Mad Cool.. [Johnny Depp Voice] “aHAHAaHAHA.” That laugh was absolutely hysterical. It’s like that time when we all tried to imitate the Coocoo bird (I think that’s the name but might be wrong). The best part about Alice was of course Alice and the Rabbit. That scene was pretty cool, and when she falls down the rabbit hole, that portrayal was utterly amazing.
The Laugh
Overall, the movie was a failure. I didn’t like the story variation. The graphics were cool and the movie was fun to watch, but I wouldn’t do it again, even if I got paid! Now that’s saying something… Hollywood can do better. Creativity is your forte, yet in the story with the most creative leeway, you fail... Why?! But you’ll bounce back Hollywood with like a sequel or some bizarre play on the story, but you will bounce back… guaranteed!
