Based on some of the reviews I have read, it appears that the world is suffering from some sort of mass "A.D.D." A shame really. Our lust for blood and fireworks seems to have made us numb to just about every simple pleasure in life. How could anyone not like this version of Alice in Wonderland?
Tim Burton faithfully created "Wonderland" in rich detail. From the bright and magical to the dark and gloomy, it could not have been done any better. His rendition of all of the characters was sheer genius.
Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter was marvelous. Hatter had heart, soul, and courage, and was also quite mad. Bravo to Mr. Depp. No one else could have played that character at that level.
Helena Bonham Carter's Red Queen was my favorite. Tip of the hat to Mr. Burton for his special effects rendering of the Queen, and a dozen roses (red) to Ms. Carter for her portrayal of the comical tyrant. Perfection was achieved when the Queen took out her club to play a little game of croquet.
Dweedle Dum & Dweedle Dee, The Cheshire Cat, the Army of Cards, The Jabberwocky were all exactly as they should be, and rendered with marvelously rich detail. The voice casting was perfect. And my other favorite, The March Hare, was even madder than the Mad Hatter, adding a twisted comic edge that kept me in stitches every time I saw him.
And of course, Alice. Again, terrific casting, and wonderful acting on the part of Mia Wasikowska. Like Mr. Depp's Hatter, her character was painted with broad depth, from the sweet & innocent to the bold & brave.
Best movie ever? No. Would I see it again? Oh yeah...
To the A.D.D. world around me: Don't think too much. You are ruining your own fun...
Yes, I recommend this movie.
