My talk is cheap

I saw Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland in 3D. Minor quibble, but I don't think the title is right, it should be something different to reflect the sequel style plot. Or at least differentiate it from the original.

I thought the visuals were fantastic, although I'm not completely sold on the apparent 3D craze. For a few select scenes (namely the falling one) I really liked it, but the rest of the time it seemed a bit unnecessary. Maybe I'm just not progressive enough, but I quite like my films in good old 2D.

My favourite characters were definitely the Red and White Queens - as I've mentioned on here before, there is something about Anne Hathaway that I really admire, and Helena Bonham Carter was perfect as that role, of course. Johnny Dep was so-so, and I think outshone by Mia Wasikowska (Alice). I can't believe she is 21, she looks so young in the film. She's Australian too, and imdb tells me that she's in an upcoming Gus Van Sant project - I look forward to seeing more of her.

Oh and I loved the Cheshire cat.
