The costumes were amazing too, especially Alice's dresses :D However, I think the white queen was alll wrong, she annoyed me rather than ingratiated me, which I didn't think she was meant to do. And I agree! Don't slander Burton! :D I was disappointed that it wasn’t the original “Alice in Wonderland” plot, but I think because the casting was so good that it could hardly fail.

I feel that despite my hatred of Anne Hathaway, she was actually awesome. Visually, it was stunning but I do feel disappointed they didn't do the actual Alice story. But NO BAD WORDS ABOUT BURTON (as a current and former eyeliner wearing pundit). :) I am so gutted about the film. I feel that despite my hatred of Anne Hathaway, she was actually awesome.

And on top of that I'm getting a bit bored of Tim Burton's Spiel. I'll probably end up seeing it anyway, cause well, everyone wants to go see it. This is exactly what I feared the movie would be.

I guess it's because they can't think of anything authentic and original to write rather than the music they're listening to being a cover or copy or an influence of any kind. Shame, here's a new band that are actually extremely good and very original - it's just too scary a concept for some to really accept I suppose.
