Alicia En El.pais: De Las Maravillas Pelicula

Helena Bonham Carter steals every scene as the Red Queen, whose grotesque, digitally enlarged head perfectly matches her tantrum-prone, narcissistic personality. “Off with their heads!” has never felt so deliciously unhinged. The film’s biggest flaw is its script. Instead of embracing the surreal, episodic nature of the book, Burton and screenwriter Linda Woolverton impose a conventional “hero’s journey” onto Alice. She isn’t exploring nonsense; she is following a prophecy ( The Oraculum ) that says she must slay the Jabberwocky on “Frabjous Day.” This turns Wonderland into a standard fantasy battlefield—more The Chronicles of Narnia than Alice in Wonderland .

You want to see a gothic, colorful fantasy epic with stunning visuals. Skip it if: You expect a faithful, nonsensical, and witty trip down the rabbit hole. alicia en el.pais de las maravillas pelicula
