Counter Culture

“In any fairy-tale land there is good and bad. What I liked about Underland is that everything is slightly off, even the good people. That, to me, is something different.” ~ Tim Burton, Director

REVIEW

This film is amazing, outstanding. Very well-played by the actors. I also thought that the 3D graphics were astonishing. If I got the chance I would re-watch it all day. An amazing performance from Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Anne Hathway as well as the others. I think Depp did a very convincing Scottish accent, and really took the ‘Hatter’ mercury thing into account. I would recommend this to all ages!

It has similarities to the animated film, but is very different to this and other versions.  Compared to the other versions, this is the best.  Tim Burton was definitely the right Director for this job because he has a bizarre (but insightful)  view of the world and mode of thinking. That inspired, somewhat skewed view of the world really helps this movie stand out from the other versions and is perfect for the story. All in all this movie was ace!
