Alice in Wonderland (2010)
directed by Tim Burton
written by Lewis Carrol
screenplay by Linda Woolverton



With all the excitement that i kinda let myself buy into
with this newest rendition of my favourite book ever,
by the time i had finally managed to catch up with 
watching it, i have to admit, i wasn't anymore.

The writing was pretty lame i have to say.
The prelude up to Alice's fall into wonderland
was slow, and brutally annoying.
But after a slow painful torturous introduction
she falls through the rabbit hole.
And im starting to have fun.
The first few details to catch my eye were the dragonfly 
and the rocking horsefly. -Brilliant!!
But then the horrible writing starts to eat over the beautifully
sketched wonderland.

For the next hour or so im hugely entertained - yay!
Depp's Hatter is great, although im wondering why he has these Scottish
moments. - seriously. 

The star of the show is Helena Bonham Carter's Queen of Hearts.
She i enjoyed every moment of.
Every little twitch, snitch and itch.

But the weak writing pulls through again.
From the moment Alice has her 'recollection'
right up to the very end of the film - its really weak writing.
Sure enough its beautiful,
its just really weak writing.
And sorry the little dance at the end - pathetic.
Please Disney, let someone who's not on your writing staff
do the job right. You haven't really done it since the original AIW.

Overall I enjoyed this. Visually it was very fun.
Burton's little team did well.
Disney - fuck off.
