Review of Alice in Wonderland (2010) by Anders A — 29 Oct 2016

This film is an abomination of the original Lewis Carrol source material. I have just read "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland" to my 8 year old and can tell you this film resembles very little of it. I won't even go into a comparison or list of discrepancies because it would take too long. It would be easier to draw up a very short list of "similarities".

Johnny Depp does the best he can do in this horrendous attempt at cashing in on a classic title. The practice of naming a film on a classic work of literature and bastardizing it to the point of no recognition should be illegal, but what's to stop a Hollywood production house from writing a big fat cheque to the literary rights holders for its use.

The film is stereotypically dark as one would expect from Tim Burton. It makes me wonder how Burton could not have grown as an artist after 4 decades of spewing out the same "gothic" perspective on his craft.

I assume any bitch will bark for a biscuit.
