It felt so unoriginal. I mean, there were some good points - I always enjoy Helena Bonham Carter and Anne Hathaway (even with the "arrested" arms). But the whole "rallying a leader to destroy the bad" felt so done and with Absolem being the voice of Snape, it felt very HP. Alice saying goodbye to the Mad Hatter felt like Dorothy parting with the Scarecrow. Alice looking out from the White Queen's terrace looked like the Pevensie's marveling at the beauty of Narnia. Just everything about the movie reminded me of a scene from something else.

I disagree. She made a comment that she vowed to never hurt a living creature. And even if it is against her nature to harm another, wouldn't that translate to asking someone else to harm another?

No, not to me. I didn't get super deep with it, though, but I suppose there are lots of people who would never kill another person but would have no problem turning them over to the police who would give them the death penalty. I suppose it's like that. But it really wasn't that serious, she didn't ask anyone to get hurt, did she? She handcuffed the two together and banished them. I remember the knight trying to kill the Red Queen but not on the White Queen's orders.
