My opinion on Alice in Wonderland and Tim Burton?

Question

Well for starters no one wanted this movie in the first place. Its not like the whole world begged that one day Tim Burton would re imagine Alice in Wonderland. Also the usage of animation mixed with live action is great when you actually have pretty good special effects. In the case of Alice in Wonderland it looks like *beep*

Also what is this?

I mean do people honestly think that looks remotely decent? First Tim Burton enlists Johnny Depp to destroy Charlie in the Chocolate Factory and now they decide to ravage another children's tale in Alice In Wonderland. Johnny Depp is not even that great of an actor. The only movie I have seen that Johnny Depp has shown even an ounce of acting talent was in Finding Neverland.

Did anyone else see Public Enemies by the way? Just watch and you will understand why Johnny Depp really is the almighty actor that everyone brings him out to be, honestly in Public Enemies he was out acted by Christian Bale!

CHRISTIAN BALE!!!!

That sentence alone should place Johnny Depp in acting Hell. However he still has legions of followers because he likes to dress in crazy *** costumes and act gay/drunk and for that reason he is apparently the greatest actor to ever exist.

To continue, why cant Tim Burton go out of his element and create a movie that looks completely different than every single movie he has ever made! Yes I could tell that both Big Fish and Planet of the Apes were Tim Burton films they did not need to have the crappy Gothic style attached to them for me to realize that its a Tim Burton film.

Tim Burton Film Criteria
1. Outlandish/Creepy Characters and/or Helena Bonaham Carter, both are the same.
2. Danny Elfman and his inability to create a cohesive score.
3. Gothic Style/Architecture and/or Extremely Bright and Colorful set pieces that just scream gay.


Basically Tim Burton is not a talented director, yes he is a visionary if you consider raping classic children's tales as part of your criteria. I would love, absolutely love to see him do some big action blockbuster just because it would prove to me he is not a one trick pony. Alas all of Tim Burtons films are just the same movie but with a different title.

Tim Burton just looks crazy.

Answer 1

OK, I agree that Tim Burton has taken some OK movies and made them crap, but wow. You must really be opposed to him.



Also, I agree that Helen Bonaham Carter (his wife) just happens to appear in every single movie he ever made.



But what's the question?

Answer 2

No, I didn't ask for you're opinion. I would construct arguments against you, but have decided it would be a waste of time and so just presume I think the opposite of everything you have said.



Tim Burton's movies are different from the mainstream, and some of us appreciate that.



Have you read Alice in Wonderland? It sounds like you are comparing this movie to the Disney movie.



I think the movie is a masterpiece.

Answer 3

Raping classic children's tales? As if Alice in Wonderland wasn't dark when it was originally written by Lewis Carrol.



Also this isn't a remake of Alice in Wonderland, this is (from what I've seen of previews) Alice 'returning to Wonderland'



I can't really say if this is going to be a good movie or not. I just think that Alice in Wonderland is, to begin with, fairly dark. Especially if you consider Lewis Carroll's alleged drug use and pedophilia.



The biggest thing that bothers me about this film is that its completely 100% unoriginal. American McGee's Alice (a video game) did this EXACT story line, just gorier.
