Liz Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 like, as in the movie Alice in Wonderland? i really really expected more from it, and all it ended up being is another Fetch Quest and Kill the Dragon movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau of Isaac Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I wasn't terribly disappointed. I found it...alright, I suppose. The pacing and overall plot was pretty annoying, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I wanted to go see it Then i heard it was retarded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Mad Hatter was annoying, Red Queen was annoying (even more than she was supposed to be), the pace didn't feel right, plot was meh, and the dance was dumb. But I went in with such low expectations that I can't say I was disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 I wasn't terribly disappointed. I found it...alright, I suppose. The pacing and overall plot was pretty annoying, however. yeah, it was alright. i'm not saying that it was a bad movie. i'm just saying that i expected something more to the spirit of the books. the plot was too predictable to my taste. oh, and the ending displeased me. it would've been better if it wasn't clearly established whether 'Underworld' was a real place or just dreamed up, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Avocado Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I thought it was okay, but Alice (as in, the actress) felt a little wooden to me. The twins at the beginning were much more interesting, and they were minor characters. I didn't care for the White Queen either, but that's just me. I wasn't really expecting anything grand with the movie, so I wasn't disappointed like you were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inactive Account Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 It didn't seem sufficiently "mad" to me. The March Hare was pretty great, and the Cheshire Cat was fairly awesome, but other that it seemed far too mundane to be any sort of Wonderland to me. And here I thought since it was Tim Burton, it would be delightfully weird... I was fairly disappointed. Also: The Dancing Mad Hatter part was entirely unnecessary; just one big WTF moment in the middle of all the dramatics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Mad Hatter's dance was a Big Lipped Alligator Moment. The film was alright. Mad Hatter kept spotlight stealing though and that was annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inactive Account Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Ehhh, I thought it was more of a brick joke than a BLAM; it was referenced earlier... but still entirely unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peener weener Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I haven't seen the movie myself, but I REALLY wanted to see it since it's Johnny Depp and Tim Burton for fuck's sake! I had pretty big expectations... I guess not anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Hatter kept spotlight stealing though and that was annoying. sometimes i would forget who was the main character but i mean, it was to be expected. with such a high-profile actor like Johnny Depp, you really couldn't expect him to play second fiddle.

Bryan Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 oh, and the ending displeased me. it would've been better if it wasn't clearly established whether 'Underworld' was a real place or just dreamed up, IMO It was meant to be murky. You were supposed to decide if it was real or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 It was meant to be murky. You were supposed to decide if it was real or not. what. i'm complaining because it wasn't murky enough. it was pretty much established that it was a real place, or at least it heavily hinted that it was.

Its a bit of both really. The REAL hero in that film was Beyard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
