OMFG ! Yes, that will be your exact reaction after watching this horrible horrible ( repetition intended ) dark depiction of the tale that once fascinated children across the world.I believe many would have planned to see this one for the holy trinity of Tim Burton, Johnny Depp(Mad Hatter) and Helena Bonham Carter(Red Queen).I did too. And for the love of God, if you want to keep it holy, stay miles from this disaster.
Tim, whom did you make this one for.The kids-I don't think so.Dark adaptation with a not-so-cute Alice and an over-dramatic Red queen.There were simply no cute-flower moments for the kids.The Johnny Depp fans-Well just dressing up Depp in some funny makeup and costume, making him walk like Jack Sparrow and not giving him any space to showcase what he has got, doesn't make his fans happy.And this one is a general statement-If you ain't have stuff for 3D, don't freaking call it 3D.
The only solace is Helena Carter's bitching performance as the Red queen.Nothing new done by Burton.We all know the story right.So save your money,time and popcorn for any other flick. Stay back people, don't fall into this hole, there isn't a wonderland here. Depp was just a trap. Like Katrina is, in our bollywood.
Cheers :)
