Alice in Plasticland

Alice in Wonderland is one of my all-time favorite stories. The world of the story is really fantastic, and the amount of imagination that is required to create something like that amazes me. I think that Disney´s animation version of Alice in Wonderland is the best animation I have ever seen.
I also like Tim Burtons (director) movies, especially films like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Edward Scissorhands, because he has created such curious worlds at them.
You might think that when you combine two things that you like, the result would be very good. Unfortunately that is not the case with the Alice in Wonderland movie (2010).
Tim Burton´s version of Alice in Wonderland doesn´t add anything new to the story. Actually it just keeps repeating the same things that have already been seen in Disney´s version. Original story is meant to be crazy and senseless, but Tim Burton´s 2010 version is trying too hard to make Alice in the Wonderland to a rational story. Plot is like in every Hollywood movie, it has a hero and of course the final battle at the end. This doesn´t fit to the Alice in Wonderlands “curious” world.
In my opinion computer-animation made the characters and the world look too ”plastic”, thought I have to admit that the special effects in the Tim Burton`s version were really amazing.
Only good thing in the movie is actors, thought their work is hard because of the awkward script. For example Alice is meant to be nineteen years old in the movie but the characters lines are too childish. Johnny Depp as The Hatter was lovely (of course he was, he is the Johnny Depp) and I also liked the White Queen (Anna Hathaway) very much.
All and all movie lacks this magical feeling of fairytales, and the “curiousness” of the original story. I was disappointed in it, but on the other hand, if I wouldn´t be so familiar with the original Alice in Wonderland, maybe this Tim Burton´s version wouldn´t be so bad.
