Alice in Wonderland

[The Notorious LOL]

Blerrrrgh. 5.5 out of 10.

The fat guy from Little Britain makes a good Tweedledum/Tweedledee, and the Cheshire Cat is cool....otherwise this basically sucked.

i could have told you before

i dont like any real movie versions of anime movies
they come off much colder, the humor is usually not better than pixar humor and special effect loaded movies are crap anyway

Did you know it was a book first? Did you know the first version was filmed (as in not animated)? Plus the 100s of plays of it. Disney didn't write it you know :rolleyes:

This (http://www.youtube.com/user/BFIfilms) shit right here is the best version of Alice In Wonderland. I can watch it over and over.

[abcdefz]

I left after about an hour. I think Burton has made some bad movies and some really good ones, but this was the first of his that I thought was just boring.

[kaiser soze]

I fear the only thing Burton has left is access to top notch sfx

[NicRN77]

this is disappointing. :( I'm going to see it Monday.

That is a very nice version of the movie and an incredible link....

who leaves movies half way through? i never got that. especially when you paid for it. :confused:

I didn't like the canned music they invented for that old tymey Alice in Wonderland clip. So I made this: http://youtubedoubler.com/?video1=zeIXfdogJbA&start1=0&video2=H-_UHlFlmGQ&start2=0&authorName=Grimbo+Crimby+



as for Tim Burton's version, I thought it was pretty crap. It seemed like it was specifically made for teenage girls, and future halloween costume ideas. erm, I almost fell asleep during the climax...because obviously she's going to triumph. HBC did a great job, Crispin was underused, Anne Hathaway was okay. Alice was good, the costumes were good. It just had more style over substance and was pretty darn boring.

Also, I don't think I like 3D, it's too distracting.

[HEIRESS]

I just doubled that version up with a video of jefferson airplane's "white rabbit" and it was aawwwwweeeeesssssoooooommmmmmeeeeeee.

[The Notorious LOL]

yeah I was a little confused that they managed to get Crispin Glover out of his weirdo foxhole to play said part...and he was underwhelming as all hell.

[mickill]

I still don't understand why anybody would think it would be a good idea to see this.

[Rock]

Hallucinogens.

I was all "nah fuck that shit" until I was influenced otherwise by a female.

[Helvete]

I saw it last night, the girl wanted to leave after about an hour, but I wanted to see the end! I never walk out of movies, only one I ever almost did that to was 'The Aristocrats'. Awful.

[b i o n i c]

dude the aristocrats was great

[Helvete]

No, I don't mean Disney's 'Aristocats' I mean the one with the shitty joke being told over and over and over by mostly unfunny people.

[b i o n i c]

yeah, that one! i liked it but i can see how if you just don't like the joke it couldve gotten a bit tiresome..

Like every Tim Burton film it was average. Saw it last night under the influence of a female, but with free cinema tickets I had won in a raffle.

I thought the bit when Alice gets through the little door near the beginning and you have the dodo, the flowers and the rest of the cast all hanging out - that was shameless crowbarring right there. Like "let's get all these characters out of the way that everyone knows and then let's get onto something less interesting."

[checkyourprez]

nah yo that shit was garbo.

the only funny one was bob saget. everyone else sucked.



and alice in wonderland is all about the looks/effects + shrooms/acid + weed.

[Caribou]

I don't really get why everybody is that disappointed. Sure, it isn't Burton's best film, but it wasn't bad or boring imo.
I wonder if anyone here has read the book by Lewis Carroll. I have to read it for next weeks literature class and have talked about the whole Jaberwocky bit during my translation course. I find it all very interesting and think Burton has stayed quite close to Carroll's story.

The visuals were nice as well, but maybe I thought that because I went to the 3D IMAX version. A bit dizzying, but impressive nonetheless.

I saw it today. I enjoyed it.

[DipDipDive]

You'll love this movie if you're into annoying, boring stuff.

It seriously ruined my day a little bit. I was ready to leave about 20 minutes in, but then I didn't, and then when the Mad Hatter did his stupid celebratory crump or whatever the fuck that shit was supposed to be after Alice killed the Jabberwocky, I wondered why I was still torturing myself and by then it was too late to rectify the situation. :(

[DipDipDive]

Also...

Dear chick who plays Alice,

TRY SWITCHING UP YOUR FACIAL EXPRESSION EVERY SO OFTEN, GODDAMNIT.

Fuck you,
Lara

P.S. The Aristocrats is also terrible.

No reason to be held hostage.

If you have a plate of garbage in front of you, do you just keep eating?

[abcdefz]

You don't think you're more valuable than that?

[The Notorious LOL]

I kept wanting dude to throw on a wig and start talkin about Fat Fighters.

yeah, the dance was upsetting. a lot of people in the theater laughed, and I said out loud, "this is ridiculous". Granted, when it started, I covered my eyes in embarrassment, so I didn't even see the whole thing. The morning after, before parting ways for the day, my dude was like, "one more thing", and started to do his interpretation of the dance. I screamed in horror.


I will say, I did like the growing/shrinking outfits. Even if they weren't actually plausible...they almost were.

but yeah, the Hatter...ugh. since when is he best buds with Alice anyway? and Johnny Depp was channeling Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka, when he shoulda been doing that when he was actually playing Willy Wonka. and that scottish accent he kept slipping into...what the double fuck. no. fuck this movie, it sucked.

[The Notorious LOL]

yeah I felt embarassed when he did that dance...like embarrassed in that way like you feel personally responsible somehow.

Also, I detected what seemed to be sexual tension between Alice and the Hatter. Such an mediocre shitfest.

[mickill]

This? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE5sP6lfqvY&annotation_id=annotation_943614&feature=iv)

I enjoy watching movies like these about as much as I enjoy the thought of rabid squirrels gnawing at my sack. Typically, movies with words like Imaginarium, Parnassus, Snicket, and Munchausen in the title, and shit that looks anything like this particular film tend to go ignored by me, at least 99% of the time. And since I'm pretty sure not all of you were on hallucinogens when you went to see it, I just still don't get why so many people have seen this shit.

[Dorothy Wood]

dear lord, that music is what put it over the top as the dorkiest thing that has ever been put on film.

Tim Burton is a talented man, and I've enjoyed a lot of his work in the past, but he clearly lost his god damn mind about 10 years ago. I went to see the movie because I wanted to see a 3D movie and I was hoping it'd be at least mildly entertaining. it failed to entertain, but it became a conversation piece, so there's that.


and I liked Lemony Snicket kind of a lot.

[checkyourprez]

You don't think you're more valuable than that?

its like leaving a football game with a couple minutes left just to beat traffic because your team is losing. something interesting may still happen.

[checkyourprez]

i still want to know why people keep saying johnny depp played the mad hatter when it was really elijah wood.

ya (http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/3500000/Elijah-elijah-wood-3563658-1006-1222.jpg) know (http://www.janinedupree.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/image-6-for-johnny-depp-in-alice-in-wonderland-gallery-918135751.jpg)?

[hpdrifter]

I saw it this weekend.

To be honest I thought some of y'all might have been just a little too cool for school elitist about this movie.

But now that I've seen it I get it.

For a Tim Burton meets Lewis Carroll thing it was pretty paint by numbers. I didn't see the Alice/Hatter sexual tension, to me it came off more father-daughter.

But yeah, the hip-hop jig/Avril Lavinge doing the theme song trifecta (i know a trifecta is three, it was just that bad) at the end pretty much did it for me.

[yeahwho]

I never liked the story, not as a kid, not as a teen stoner and especially not as a grown up.

Fear and loathing in Las Vegas is a way better story that actually happened.

Whenever I go to Disneyland and I see the Madhatter or Alice characters wandering around it sort of pisses me off. They talk nonsense and annoy me so much it interferes with my mind focusing on how hot the chick playing Alice is.

This is the first semi-rational explanation I've heard. Good deal.

Still not sure I agree in the investment, though. It would have to be a great filmmaker or whatever to make me want to watch "my team." He'll, I've walked out on a movie by Scorsese.
