Quick Take: Alice in Wonderland

I must say, I was Viagra reviews surprised at Torsemide furosemide conversion how much Ally hilfiger rehab I enjoyed Levaquin 250 mg this movie.  Keep in mind I am not familiar with the source material but I am familiar with some of the movies out there that attempt to retell it.  This Alice in Wonderland is my favorite of the lot.  I heard some complaints that this movie was just plain weird.  What do you expect from Alice in Wonderland and Tim Burton?  Throw Johnny Depp in the mix and the weirdness is complete.  But it is a good weirdness.

Some things I enjoyed.  The characterizations of the two queens were great.  Alice was very good.  The dialog was fun.  The setting was dark and moody.  The music was really good.  As my wife said, “It’s a movie that really does take you somewhere else completely.”  (I think I got that right)  And she is right.  It is a complete departure from reality.  I liked that for this movie.

There was one thing that didn’t quite fit.  There were moments in the weirdness that they tried to pull away from it and provide a broad, epic feel.  I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy it.  It just seemed that the change of gears wasn’t quite as smooth as it should have been when introducing the epic parts.  It pulled me out of the movie for a moment before I could get settled back in.

In the end I was very impressed with the movie.  I enjoyed the parts in Wonderland more than the parts in the real world.  Alice in Wonderland takes a very nice detour from reality to step into a weirdly comforting weirdness.  I am sure we will be watching it again soon.
