Aice in wonderland : Down the rabbit hole


This i think could well be my shortest review ever. Not because it was a bad movie but may be because i was just too bored to notice anything good or bad about the movie. The movie just didn't do anything for me. Neither the uni dimensional story nor the over the top performances. Neither the script (or the lack of it) nor the (unimaginitive) special effects. It was just all too boring to say the least. Do NOT watch.


Performances were too loud. Johny Depp was trying another Jack Sparrow but fails miserably. The only saving grace was a couple of laughters here and there with Helena Bonham Carter's portrayal of the Red Queen(which i earlier thought was natalie portman).


The story was more like an extension to the original Alice in Wonderland where from the time she arrives in wonderland what is going to happen in the end. And exactly what wa told in the beggining takes place. So no surprise factor here too. Alice is supposed to slay a dragon to win back the crown from the red queen and pass it on to the white queen. Yes, thats all. And nothing adventurous really happens through out the movie.


Special Effects were also too not special. And frankly after Lord of the Rings and Avatar, a 'wonderland' would never really be as amusing as you might expect it to. It all just looks too simplistic.


Overall : Don't go unless you are a 5 year old. (well, honestly dont go even if you are, coz there are some super duper animation movies which could kick this one's ass left right and center


Feel-O-Meter: 2/10 (Honeslty, i think that also is slightly high but still Zero dena accha nahi lagega) ;)
