| Director: Tim Burton (2010) |
From the kooky Tim Burton comes another
take on the famous and beloved Book by Lewis Carroll. Yet despite his trademark
artistic style, Alice in Wonderland lacks the enjoyment that has been so
prevalent in his other works. The moment Alice (Mia Wasikowska) plunges into
Wonderland an abundance of CGI takes over, making the entire film seem hollow
and fake. This onslaught of visuals is constant, leaving Wasikowska and co to
do their best acting with a green wall. What's worse is the film totally lacks
any bite, dilemmas are resolved within minutes causing Alice’s trek through
this alien world seem banal. Depp and Bonham Carter are lacklustre, with only
Hathaway giving anything close to a solid performance. Throughout Alice says
she wants to wake up form this dream, and for most of the 108 minutes I really
wish she would.
