Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland was rather disappointing in terms of the plot but was rather okay when you come to the visuals. Alice is now 19 years old in the movie and is forced into a marriage with a lord. However, during the proposal, she chased after the White Rabbit and somehow tumbled into a hole which brought her to Underland, also known as Wonderland. Though she visited it when she was much younger and dreamt about it every night, she does not seems to remember anything. Alice's destiny was to slay the Jabberwocky, the evil monster that belonged to the Red Queen.

The director does not seem to bother about the plot because it seemed as it was pretty confusing. I think that he cared more about the technology and visual effects involved. The performance of the Knaves of Hearts and the Mad Hatter was limited. These characters were suppose to be showing a sense of craziness and lunacy, but the restriction of that caused a big disappointment. The director should complement the sheer funny look of the characters with the sheer lunacy of their personality.That would make the movie better.

The movie provided very little climax. You can see that at the end of the movie, the battle between Alice and Jabberwocky was not exciting at all. It provided very very little climax. People know that Alice would win the battle, but they want to see how she wins it. The excitement must be there, but it did not appear at all. Seriously, the movie instead of being a huge success, seems to be quite a failure.
