"I like your largeness" - Alice In Wonderland

For a Tim Burton film featuring his wife and his protege' Johnny Depp, I was highly disappointed and felt feeling unsatisfied.

a) Plotline of Alice going back into the hole into Wonderland, tad lame. If you watched the Disney version, you'd kinda of expect what was going to happen and in what order. It was pretty much like that here. Alice falls down the hole, meets the rabbit, the caterpillar, the cat, the Mad Hatter, Red Queen, etc etc. Very typical.

b) The visuals. Highly disappointed, was no Avatar in terms of the quality but still disappointed for a 3D movie. I expected more colour, more detail in the little things. There were some things I was quiet pleased with, such as the Red Queens castle and Johnny Depp''s amazingly enlarged eyes (which were apparently CGI-ed and enlarged by 10%). The cat was amazing! Well done, but overall, not as impressed.

c) Alice. Meh, does not meet the expectations to what she was all hyped up about.

d) Anne Hathaway as the White Queen. Not bad at all. Bit freaky every now and then with how graceful and poised she was, but at the same time, very entertaining and funny =P.

e) Drug references and Sexual references. Props to Tim for those, I think out of everyone in the cinema, I laughed the most at "i like your largeness" =P. And Alice going back into the hole, no pun intended ;).

So .. in conclusion, my rating, 2 corn chips
