    ALICE IN WONDERLAND - A BADASS MOVIE REVIEW


    What people need to know and understand is that Burton's ALICE IN WONDERLAND is
    HOOK. Both films are based in the world of famous children's stories and are made by
    “visionary” directors. Both have the exact same theme of the hero who had adventures
    in a magical world as a child now grown up and having forgotten everything. Both have
    the now grown up heroes having to relearn the magic to save the day. Both are also
    epic fails of filmmaking.

    As others have pointed out, this is not a retelling of the classic Alice story or its sequel,
    Through the Looking Glass. This would be considered the third part of the story, with
    the same characters. Yes, the World of Wonderland has been turned into a kid's
    adventure movie along the lines of Narnia or the Golden Compass. This world is now
    called Underland, and it's pointed out that Alice had always just mispronounced it. Alice
    and the Mad Hatter are now action heroes. I'm not kidding.

    The film opens with a fancy gathering that doubles as Alice's engagement party. Alice
    is proposed to, panics, and runs away only to fall down the rabbit hole. From there we
    go through the classic “Eat Me Drink Me” antics where Alice grows and shrinks in size.
    You would think one scene would be enough but not for Tim Burton! For the rest of the
    film Alice fluctuates in size for no apparent reason except to put her in strange
    situations such as flying through the air on a hat or standing naked in front of
    everybody at the Red Queen's palace.

    FINEST
    We have been
    waiting for this
    film forever.  
    Does Antoine
    Fuqua
    deliver?  The
    critics have
    been tearing it
    apart.  We will
    definitely be
    sitting down,
    watching this
    and bringing
the news.  Snipes? Cheadle? Gere?
Hawke?  HOW CAN IT FAIL?  It has got to be
better than this ALICE IN WONDERLAND
trash we have been hearing about...

    has been on
    the sellout
    tour for quite
    some time
    now.  This one
    is going to
    take the cake
    though.  
    Originally
    entitled A

    film just
doesn't look funny at all.  We have been
camping.  We have been clicking reload.  
The trailers just aren't doing it for us.
