Just wondering: How does everyone feel about Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland interpretation? What did you like about it? (If anything.) What didn't you like about it? Favorite characters? Favorite scenes or quotes? Anything that you wish to happen that did not? Perhaps something that happened that you wish didn't?
I saw it on opening day. Went with a group of friends, cosplaying as the characters. Overall, I give it a six out of ten. I wasn't too crazy about the Depp Hatter, although I have HEAVILY shipped AlicexHatter for years. Christopher freakin' Lee as the Jabberwock was PERFECT. Wish that they had given him more lines, though. Hathaway made a wonderful White Queen, & Carter was an amazing Red Queen. Alice.. really was too stoic for my tastes. I admire the fact that Burton kept her stubborn, non conformist nature that she in fact had as a child in Carroll's original book, though. However, she just seemed too stoic & pained. It was almost as if Mia didn't even want to be playing Alice.
The ending, of course, took me by surprise. I half expected a little bit more romance between AlicexHatter. But, then again, she is ONLY nineteen. She still has growing to do. A man seems like the last thing on her mind. Though, (And, my HatterxAlice shipping buddies HATE me for this. xd ) I did get a tad.. curious about shipping StaynexAlice myself. (SHUT UP, DON'T JUDGE ME.) I mean, hey, he likes her muchness.. xp
So far, Stayne (Knave of Hearts) & Mirana are my favorite characters.
Yes, it is a novel, too.
This is NOT the original Alice. This is just the novelization of Burton's film version. I recommend reading it, as the film cut out A LOT of the story. A LOT. The original Alice was written by Lewis Carroll, for those who are curious.
