Richard Gere not in his usual suck role, Don ‘the man’ Cheadle, Ethan Hawke, Wesley Snipes (where you been hiding Nino Brown?), and a very short part by Vincent D’Onofrio.  First off I wish Vincet had a little larger role, I like that guy.  This movie was interesting, I always say sometimes the movie doesn’t need a happy ending and this is one of those times they deliver!

I thought at first Richard Gere was gunna suck, his movies are always shown on like WE channel, but he played the part well.  Cheadle is the man, he is always doing his thang.  Ethan Hawke did a good job representing his character’s frustration.  Wesley Snipes didn’t do much, it wasn’t a cameo, he just didn’t do much.

This movie was good.  Very deep meanings, almost sad, action packed and long as hell, 132 minutes ?  Yikes.  It coulda been a little shorter.  The movie was very predictable which I didn’t like and nothing was really ‘new’.  It was directed well, but this story has been shown 100 times.  This is definitely a NetFlixxer. It’s worth watching but don’t waste your cash at the theater.  I’m going with 6.9/10.

You know the bit, Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Good ol’ Crispin Glover.  Where do I start ? Johnny Depp is so played out… He did OK on his role but I’m just over it…  I hate seeing his movies and recognizing the same accents and attitudes… just different makeup, it’s like Charlie and the Chocolate factory all over again!  I think that all 3D movies are better then if they were 2D so thank god for that.  The movie it self, well… I would much have preferred (like charlie and the chocoloate factory) that they stuck to the original script and just re-did it.  What is this alice is a dragonslayer bit ?  REALLY ? YOUR HERE TO SLAY DRAGONS ? OK.  I get it, it’s from the second book or whatever.  The effects were great, the acting was… ok.  But over all I wasn’t impressed, I thought Avatar (my last 3d movie) was much better.  Maybe because there was nothing to compare it to (as a remake), maybe cuz it wasn’t so hyped up?

Anyway…

Verdict:  If you get to the movies and can see it in 3D go watch it, otherwise it’ll be on HBO soon. 6.0/10.

One more thing, following a trend of kids movies not being kids movies, depending on the age of your kid, this movie probably won’t be for them, it’s missing the laughter and jingles from the original.
