I know right!?! It took me a good portion of the movie to even realize it really was him because he was looking so hawt.

was he thought of as not good looking? I'm surprised.

ufoclub said:

He doesn't usually look hawt. He usually looks a bit demented. Like attractiveness is there under layers of crazy.

The only thing that could have made this movie better is if the White Queen was cast as a woman of color.

Makes me wonder, did anyone consult Lady GaGa before costumes and makeup?

I've always found the story sinister and creepy. Never liked it as a kid.

Since then I've seen a few things on Lewis Caroll and they really haven't helped me appreciate it any more... Creepy man.

Saw it yesterday, LOVED IT! True it wasn't the best script or storyline but it was visually stunning. That, said it had it's ups and downs...

Loved the Hatter (best.look.ever.) but did not like the brogue/lisped accent... that was meh.

Red Queen, GREAT!! "I need a pig!"

White Queen, hilarious!! (Alej, if you do go flitting about school that way, do take pics )

what had me completely hooked and what I LOVED the most about this film was without question, the Cheshire Cat. He was just.too.cool.



I do wish they'd kept him purple though...

I loved the Cheshire Cat too. I kept wanting to reach out and cuddle him when he was rolling through the air.

He could be any color though really. The original illustrartions were in B&W so I guess I didn't picture him purple.

I went to the pre-premiere where you had to come in costume, and this guy won the costume contest:




and this is us right before it started

Loved it.

I love that it was turned into a feminist tale.

Loved the sets and constumes and color and all of it.

If I walked round a corner and that was walking towards me, I'd shit myself.

the cat, not the girl.

I haven't, but my wife and daughter have. They enjoyed it. I'll have to catch it soon.

Oh, and I want to move into the Red Queen's castle.

I finally saw this on Saturday, and I loved it!!!!

I just don't understand why they couldn't speak with proper American accents. It would have made the movie so much better. Who's with me on this?

Honestly, this was one of my least fave Burton films. (For the record, Burton is one of my fave directors...alongside Julie Taymor). Especially after Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Sweeney Todd, both of which were spot on perfection...this one was slightly disappointing. What I liked: the animated characters, esp. the cheshire cat and the march hare. LOVED the march hare, actually.... my least favorite part, actually, had to be the hatter. Not johnny's best work, and just felt out of sorts with the rest of the film. Maybe second viewing will enhance my thoughts on it (I'll still def. purchase it...) but I just left feeling it could have been better...
=0P

Braved the monsoon this weekend and saw the movie in IMAX 3D on Saturday. It was okay. Looked great, but despite that, I didn't get the feeling of amazement that I did from many of Tim Burton's other films. I most likely won't buy it when it's released on disc.

I loved him too but I found him kinda scary!

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

I think that's what I liked most... he was a little creepy but very, very cool... that cat!!

I didn't read any of the posts here becauuuuuse...:

To the ladies: is there an implication behind buying yor man a tongue stud...and in the implication exponential when the stud reads, "sxy."

I saw it for free and didn't enjoy it though I've always loved Alice in Wonderland. I knew it would be all hype.
