Alice Through the Looking Glass English Movie
When Johnny Depp is the mad Hatter, you know there will be the best kind of make-up and color and coolest hair and the wildest hats. When Alice is involved you will enjoy a wild ride through the most un-possible things. The characters you love are all there, but the zing is gone.
The wild thrill you felt when flamingoes were brought out for a game, when the card soldiers shuffled, when the wicked queen with the biggest head screamed, 'Off with their heads!' is sort of missing in this version of Alice.
Is it because Alice is now all grown up and it's no longer the wonder you felt as a child that you feel when she does things? She's grown up, and it seems a tad silly for her to jump into the mirror as a grown up. She suddenly seems... How do you put it... 'Capable'. And that word takes away some of the fun from the adventure. It seems all so very 'purposeful' now. It's like 'I know I can save the Hatter, and this is how I'm going to do it.'
The
Watch it because the kids are on their school breaks and you have a need for a nostalgia break.
