Alice in Wonderland or was it NORTH KOREA?: Soundoff!

Plot: A girl falls down a hole and nothing makes sense. Then again, I'm pretty sure everyone already has an idea on the plot.

Soundoff Review: Every time a movie is remade or the idea is remade, I ask myself, is it really necessary? What makes it better or any different from the original? To me re-doing a movie is a very hard feat to do, you can either do it disastrously, exactly replicate it, or do it better even.

Let's make an analogy, let's pretend that movies are like a painting and when someone makes a new movie they use a new canvas and start from scratch. What Tim Burton does is get the original Mona Lisa and traces over it in a subway and paints it in his studio doing drugs, most likely heroine, and reading the Communist Manifesto.

My main complaint of Tim Burton's cover is that it was extremely predictable and not colorful enough, and even had Political implications in it.

We know what's gonna happen next, then why are we watching it if your not going to change it?

You have a whole slew of characters to work with and they are extremely colorful, how come they didn't come off as colorful or awesome as I thought they would?

Another thing, the political implications were quite blatant.

You can tell Tim Burton has a very western political thought, come on, a small person who in the end conquered great things. Sounds extremely western to me. We can also look at Alice as a lone Caucasian going to North Korea accidentally and everyone in North Korea (Red Kingdom) wanting to kill her save for a few rebels (Mad Hater and comp) who help her.

Also one more thing, this is a blatant attack towards feminism. According to Tim Burton, the Red Kingdom and White Kingdom is exactly what would happened if females had dictator unitarian monarchical powers. One queen is kind and the other is extremely violent which shows the bi-polar nature of women which Tim Burton exploits throughout the movie to create two rival nations against each other based on female ideology, in this case feminism.

Conclusion: The movie went by way too fast and felt rushed at lots of points. Tim Burton had an extremely good cast to work with, however, he decided not to, which created a cover that didn't feel like the director of the amazing "Big Fish". Alice in Underland (North Korea) is average 2.5/5
