Alice in Wonderland

So a couple of weeks ago, Ian and I went to the midnight showing of Alice in Wonderland. To much of his surprise, it was my first midnight showing. The thing is, I'm not a huge fan of crowds, and my thinking is, the movie's gonna play for a few months, I'll go when there aren't a bunch of crazies everywhere.

And now, I'm going to say this out loud, and hopefully none of you will judge me... I don't think I've ever seen the original Alice in Wonderland. I believe I've seen snippets of the cartoon series when I was younger, but then again, I'm not sure. Although, I do know little things about it, like the twins, and how she falls in a hole, grows and shrinks, and there's some sort of tea party. That's it. So going into this, it was just another movie to me. Keep this in mind when I tell you what I thought. But then again, one of my friends told me I didn't need to know the story to understand this film, because it's kind of like a "part two". ok.

So the movie was directed by Tim Burton. We all know he's a twisted man. Also, Johnny Depp is in the movie, should I say more? I liked the movie. It was surprisingly funny, and the 3D moments were nice. I was excited to see Anne Hathaway, and I liked her, but she seemed a bit trying. Does that make sense? I still like her tons though. I don't know who Helena Bonham Carter is, but she rocked it for me. And I'm pretty sure the "twins" were on the show Little Britain. All in all, I'd give it a 5.1. Keep in mind, I'm a pretty harsh rater (well, I'd like to think that). So yes, I said I liked it, and a 5.1 is above average. There you go.
