I can't seem to get behind Anne Hathaway
The only movie I've seen her in where she played a believable character was Devil Wears Prada. But every movie I've seen with her, I cannot seem to get behind her character portrayals. I don't see what makes her such a bankable actress.
In this movie, the way she moved her arms and hands about constantly was as if she was in water. It would have actually translated well to an underwater re-imagining of this story. She came across so bland and dead, so lifeless. I'm not familiar enough with Tim Burton's visions of how Alice in Wonderland should come across and if this was indeed the way he/she/they wanted her portrayed, but it seemed like a very big flaw in an otherwise enjoyable movie.
On a side note, she often reminds me of Audrey Hepburn and I'll bet if a biopic were made, she could easily step into those shoes.
