My friend and I had the day off school, so we caught a mostly empty matinee. We both loved it! Mia whats-her-name was a fantastic Alice, Helena Bonham Carter was even more deranged then when she was Bellatrix, and Johnny Deep was oh-so perfectly weird. The movie wasn't that funny, but it wasn't supposed to be, so that was fine. And the Chesire cat just took the cake for me. I liked his character so much, but I can't explain why.
I had two problems with it, though...(spoilers) One was the relationship between Alice and Hatter. I understand they were going for a close brother/sister kinda thing (like Justin and Alex in the early seasons of WoWP, before David and Selena started flirting every five seconds ), but it really came off more as romantic tension then anything. Which is a little disturbing, considering Johnny Deep is--what, 20 years older then Mia? My other issue was I was expecting more twists in the ending. She just hops on the back of the Jabberwocky and stabs it. I was kind of anticipating a more unpredictable ending, like, I dunno, they held Hatter hostage and that gave her the strength to defeat him or something.
Oh, and my new favorite quote..."Yes, you are mad. Off your head. Completely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret--all the best people are."
Which reassures me, for some reason. lol
