Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Bit of a disappointment
Not a bad movie but not particularly good for Tim Burton standards. The special effects are no big deal, the one in «Charlie and Chocolate Factory» looked a lot better. The movement of the characters is not very good. The looks and aesthetics of the movie are not coherent, they do not convince. Anne Hathaway is not up to the job as «White Queen» and his performance is not credible at all. I would never paint there lips in black, they seem a bit out of place, even for wonderland. It just looks to much like an American movie trying to look European and the end is too much «Harry Potterish». Not bad if you are a kid or a teen, not bad for a Disney movie but simply is not convincing and has good as you would expect from Tim Burton.
Arthur et la vengeance de Maltazard (2009)
Nice movie
Loved the first one but I think this is somewhat weaker movie. Great Computer graphics Image, very nice directing, loved the looks of the movie, very pleasant to the eyes but the story isn't as appealing as the first one. Maybe that is a problem common to all trilogies, being the second one the least appealing of all. I have seen the first in French version, this one I watched in English, loved both versions but I think the English one is slightly better because as the actors are speaking in their natural language things seem more natural when in real life scenes It is a very nice movie to show to our kids and can be used as a nice entry level movie for European Cinema, for preteen kids. It keeps that good French tradition of great care with image and details. all looks so wonderful! Still it is good fun and in the end it seems to open the door for an absolutely fantastic 3rd one! Hope my expectations come true.
Flash Gordon (1980)
Not a good movie
Sorry all you Flash Gordon's fans but this is a truly awful movie. I forced myself to see it all the way through and it was a pain. Loved it when I was 8 but now this is looks like a movie done by someone in a bad acid trip and by the time this movie was done, acid was already out of fashion. The music theme is good and inspiring but that is the only good thing I have to say about this title. The story is weak and the plot is basic and dull, the actors are awful never looking serious in their performance and the costumes are dreadful! Nothing in this movie looks even credible, we never believe the actors performance, and even the objects just look fake. Every rock we see, we now that it is made of Styrofoam and it sure looks like that. Absolutely no effort in making things look believable. Talking about direction well it is simply uninspired work. No sense in the story but not quit a nonsense movie so I don't see the point of it. It could had been a crazy, goofy movie, very artistic and wild as if it was out of a fairy tale like Alice in wonderland or City of Lost Children but it is simply a bad Hollywood movie perhaps a little bit out of its time.
