AIW Movie (May contain spoilers)

[Alice Rahne]

WARNING: MY COMMENT DEFINITELY CONTAINS SPOILERS.
If you haven't seen the movie yet, you may wanna skip it. ^_^

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense.
Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't.

I was actually thoroughly impressed. It was a LOT better than I was expecting to be, honestly. I only really had three problems or so, and that was they changed the Jabberwocky poem, made the Jabberwock and Bandersnatch real Wonderlanders, and called it Underland instead of Wonderland. Aside from that, though, it was very enjoyable, the music was quite compelling (I've always loved Eflman's work, though) and even the whole Jabberwock/Bandersnatch thing wasn't that bad because they worked it into the movie splendidly (I love the whole Bandersnatch scene when she's in it's little doghouse thing getting the Vorpal Blade ^_^). It was so cute! And the 3D effects were really good, as well. Not like Avatar (Pops seems to think it better than Avatar's, though I highly disagree with that statement), but they were very well threaded in. Haha. And yes, that rabbit hole scene was great. I like how it was a tad more realistic that she fell at such a quick and alarming pace, rather than have time to read a book or look for Orange Marmalade. Added to the suspense, although the movie as a while did move kind of fast.

::THE ACTION SEQUENCE::
Has GOT to be my favourite part of that movie. I've always loved action, but that was just great, how the I guess.....epic's too big of a word for it, but other words escape me at the moment.....of the start of the battle and how Alice focused herself on the Jabberwock, and I LOVED the Jabberwock himself! Haha, he was very calm and collected, the type of cool character you'd expect a smart a** doctor or lawyer to be. XD Very professional, yet insulting in his manner of speech. rofl But then when both sides suddenly dove in, just...ahh. Twas beautiful.

And yes, Lady Azure, Absolem was quite the caterpillar. o.o Haha

Most amazing character, though - Cheshire Cat. Hands down.
^_^

btw, Will be posting a movie review on it soon, after I have it written, and have my brother (an actual movie reviewer/critic) look over it.
XD
Cause I just have so much to say about this movie. lol

And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be.
And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

I loved the costumes!!! I also loved the fact that they had subtle 3D effects (the dust and the butterfly especially) instead of how some 3D movies have clearly added bits to throw at people.

Azure Caterpillar

Oh and the Jabberwocky's two lines completely stole that scene, he was awesome.

The plotline was good, but not very random. In some ways it was rather generic. Not quite as good as the books obviously. I didn't think they took "Through the looking glass" much into account.

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense.
Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't.

@Hattress: I KNOW!! As soon as I saw it I turned to my dad and said, "Pops, it's cute!! I want that dress!!!!" X3
Like, I would save up every cent I gain from now to buy that dress over anything (except for one thing. >_< But Idt that's happening soon. Stupid summer. XD) And I agree about her counting the six impossible things; the way they worked that in there was a VERY nice touch, I loved that, because it's one of my favourite quotes (actually tried getting a picture of just those lines and I think I have it on FaceBook somewhere with the other lines around those blurred - loveloveLOVE those lines. XD) from Looking-Glass. And the Cheshire. Was amazing. x.x Like, Idk how to describe it, but he just was. Cheshire was beyond badass. XD

@Leaf: Yes, I completely agree! My friend Kat said sht thought the White Queen's was horrible, and I'm like, "Whaaaa?! I adored the White Queen's! It made he exact effect it was supposed to. It gave her the sense of purity and innocence she was supposed to have for the film, but with Hathaway and the way she carried herself, she still had the Queenliness and dignity of a Queen she was meant to be." x.x And I agree with the 3D thing. Like, it wasn't as prominent in Avatar, and it was only when necessary, which I'm very grateful for. It added a nice feel to it, not an overwhelming in your face thing.

@Lady Azure: I agree, their rendition of the Jabberwock was very unique, and still very well done. I love Christopher Lee's voice, honestly. He's got that very well spoken and professional sense, but can still be intimidating and cryptic, and a total smug b******. XD Haha.

@Koji: Honestly, I liked the plot. True, the whole Alice overthrowing the Red Queen thing was a tad generic, but their execution was very unoiue, I don't think I've ever seen that much thought put into how she's supposed to do it, and the whole Frabjuous Day thing was a nice spin to use. As for referencing to Looking Glass, personally, I think they used influence from it a helluva lot more than most other adaptation have, like the 1951 animated Disney's Alice or American McGee's Alice.
