"You are terribly late Alice, naughty!"
Oh YES Johnny Depp, whisper those filthy words to my ever pricked up ears! Although your voice isn't as silky as dear Alan Rickman, i could listen to you for hours non the less.
I stared in awe as the Mad Hatter crossed the screen, a current of emotion printed on his face as his accent flicked around an angry scotsman and a crazed old man with a lisp.
So it wasn't the Saturday but the next week on cheerful Orange wednesday that Mr.Reynolds and i decided to visit the cinema. The film overall i loved, as i knew i would and yet i have heard that it got quite mixed reviews. Ok so, it could've been darker, however i thought it was a tad different to Tim Burtons usual flair he shows in his productions.
There was alot...ALOT of CGI, something i am normally quite against and yet have to put up with in these modern times. It would have been interesting to see what wardrobe on its own would cast on the characters look through the film instead of the photoshoots, however this is no Pans Labrynth.I must admit i was disappointed in the 3D effect. To be honest, i don't find it a great deal different, in fact it was rather annoying, especially as i have shit eyesight as it is! It blurred the falling of alice through the rabbit hole. Then again though to suit the needs of those who positively rape the latest media concept of HD & 3D we had to sadly follow suit, 80 pence for some crappy geek frames that fuck up my eyes!
Rant over....
....Helena Bonham Careter was hilarious. A delight as always when ever she pops up on my screen! It was strange seeing Anne Hathaway act so bizzare! Normally being in cheerful, light hearted crappy chick flicks and what not she suprised me with her odd nature she brought out in the White Queen. Not sure about the dark makeup clashing with the intense White theme running through her land though....hmmmm....
I absoloutely loved the tea party scene. Best part of the film. So much so that i keep reinacting the scottish hare throwing cups of tea! There are great quotes throughout the film, and most of them come from this scene or Helena aka Queen of Hearts.
Yes i would see it again and yes i would still love to create my own version of the film, as much as i love Sir Burton, it just didnt satisfy me enough. I am still not totally sure though if this is just me obsessing as i adore this story so much. He had the right idea, but i believe it shouldve been more serious, darker, twisted, opium influenced to the max. He had the right actors and actresses, great scenery, in fact i wouldnt change Johnny Depps role at all....or Helenas for that matter, but Alan, Stephen Fry and Alice were'nt used to their potential.
