What happens when a large studio, famous director, big name actors and a multimillion dollar special effects budget get together to re-tell a classic story? Sadly, the result is a watered down, uninspiring, boring piece of crap.

Hands down, Alice in Wonderland had the worst acting performances by Johnny Depp and Anne Hathaway, who for some reason could not put her hands down throughout the whole movie.

Mia Wasikowska, who played Alice, was just overall boring and added nothing to the film. The only reason I could think of her being selected was because she looked exactly like the Disney version of Alice.

The story was too chaotically presented and made what was originally a beautiful and strange land into a sporadic and dull world of pretty images. This made me wish they did not focus on re-writing the story and just focused on re-telling a classic story.

Lastly, the final nail in the coffin for this film, was the dance scene at the end. It is nothing but a distracting, silly scene to hopefully make the audience ignore plot holes and unanswered questions.

Disney and Tim Burton have two of the biggest followings in film and have just let their fans down. Alice In Wonderland has done great in the box office ($650 million worldwide). That’s great. But it is still a horrible movie.
