She has to end the Red Queen's reign by killing the Jabberwocky.
What I think
I've heard a lot of bad comments about Alice by Tim Burton. That it was not Tim Burton like, too colourful, etc. Comments too on Johnny Depp who doensn't make anything new.
Well, I see Tim Burton's mark in this film, without a doubt. The scenery are all Tim Burton, the dark atmosphere too. About the colour, I would say, hey it's Alice, so it is colourful, that's normal.
But I was waiting for Alice in Wonderland, and it is Alice's return to Wonderland...
I liked the film, but it's not my favorite from Tim Burton's. There were a few moments when I was bored.
I loooooooved Johnny Depp, as talented as ever. But I'm a little doubtful about Mia Wasikowska and Anne Hathaway. Helena Bonham Carter is absolutely wonderful with her big head;o)
I was disappointed about the music. I knew Robert Smith (The Cure) had written a song for Alice. And there is a soundtrack CD with rock bands, but they do not appear in the movie. Only Danny Elfman's music. So why make a CD? I wonder... Another marketing approach without a doubt!
