Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Mia Wasikowska - Alice Kingsleigh
Johnny Depp - Mad Hatter
This is a story about a brat (Mairi Ella Challen) who grew up to be a demure young lady (Mia Wasikowska) and lost her snot factor. Can she gain it back through adventure?
The story needed some adjustment due to the age factor of the victim. Therefore, this is why we get more of a return to the Underland in place of the original Wonderland. Wit is replaced with action, cunning with swordplay, and so forth.
I do not want to give away any surprises, but this presentation is uniquely made for the actors and to be politically correct for this day and age. Alice is facing marriage to the son of her defunct father's old business partner. She has been having a problem with being distracted by a rabbit in a waistcoat. She falls for the rabbit, and we begin to think back fondly on the story we were told as children.
If she can adjust her size, the adventure takes a sad turn into a swashbuckler; unfortunately, it is Alice, not the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp).
Will Alice be eaten, scratched, beheaded, or otherwise dispatched? Alternatively, will she return, get married, and realize there is no place like home?
I only saw the 2D version, so I cannot comment on 3D. The 3d requires 3D equipment, not the fun red and blue glasses. The parts were extremely well acted by many of the best-known actors of the time. No telling what the movie would be if the characters were a tad more traditional.
