I tried really hard to come up with a good title...
Richard Through the Red-Robed Mass?
Richard Through the Oleron Brass?
Richard and the Giant Sea Bass?
Whatever. You're here. Let's chat about this film because
I finally watched Alice Through the Looking Glass!
(Just a year late… don’t judge.)
I watched it twice, actually, since my 6 year-old daughter
is kind of obsessive in her viewing habits.
(I wonder where she gets that from?)
*Not my daughter, but totally fits her enthusiasm!
I enjoyed the sequel much more than the first.
Is that because Our Richard is in it? Or is it a better movie? I’m not sure…
I will have to rewatch Alice in Wonderland to answer those questions fairly.
Anyway- back to Richard Armitage.
His role as King Oleron was THIS BIG.
He said a few lines and scowled a few scowls

His role as King Oleron was THIS BIG.
He said a few lines and scowled a few scowls
and told his daughter, the future Queen of Hearts,
that she was bat shit crazy
and therefore unfit to rule after him.
So why did he agree to such a small role?
Because there are no small roles to Richard, people!
(I'm guessing. RA didn't actually tell me that.)

Plus, one of his 2 scenes included these awesome folks:
Not bad.
He once again portrayed a bearded king with a furrowed brow.
If Thorin (The Hobbit) and Monet (The Impressionists) had a baby, it would be
King Oleron.

But this king looked ultra-royal with one of those fluffy red robes.
While Older King Oleron wasn’t too attractive in my opinion
(it’s the bob he’s sporting- not my thing),
Young King O was HOT!
Young King O was HOT!
I loved how he swooped in and carried his injured daughter to safety,
all while sporting a beard, close-cropped hairdo and those puffy renaissance-looking
sleeves.
*sigh* How sweet.
Y'all know I'm a fan of The Armitage,
but my favorite character in Alice Through the Looking Glass
is Sacha Baron Cohen's character, Time.
(Despite the man-bun hidden under that hat...)

I like his quirky, misunderstood personality and hidden soft side.
Overall, I would give this movie
3 out of 5 Oleron Beards.
I liked it, but it's not one of my favorites.
It is definitely worth viewing at least once.

One of the film's producers tweeted that Armitage was their first choice for the role ... I took that with a grain of salt, but there it is.
Grain of salt taken, Serv. ;)
Thanks for sharing on your blog.
Hey Nat! I just watched this last month too! (Found it on Netflix). Can't remember the date I saw it though. For all you know, we might have been watching it at the same time!
I'm so glad I found your blog post. I was just rereading a few of my old blog posts and I saw in my feed that you had a new post! Always a delight to get your ReAction on things.
I had much the same opinion on the film as you. But I only watched it once. I need to find a video with just his scenes and watch that a few times!

Great blog I enjoyed rreading
The visuals in this adaptation are absolutely stunning, especially the costume designs and the grand set pieces. However, as much as I love the theatrical experience for these kinds of fantasy films, sometimes it's just much more comfortable to catch the high-definition home release on your own big screen without dealing with crowded theaters. If you are setting up your Android media box to stream high-bitrate 4K films smoothly, deploying the xuper tv apk gives you an incredibly clean player interface that handles large video files flawlessly.
It is always so exciting when a favorite actor lands a role in a massive cinematic universe, even if it's just a crucial cameo performance that ties the whole backstory together! Tracking down a specific actor's entire filmography across multiple different streaming services can be a massive headache, though. For movie fans who want to organize all their custom film libraries and media links into a single, remote-friendly hub on a Firestick, setting up the updated xuper tv app completely streamlines your movie-watching experience.
Heavy CGI and fast-paced action sequences look incredible, but they can cause major rendering lag and audio sync issues on older hardware setups if your media player isn't optimized. When configuring a Smart TV for high-quality movie streaming, you really need a build that allows for seamless hardware decoding tweaks. The optimization guides over at xuper tv latest version are incredibly helpful for setting up your internal player cache so you can enjoy cinematic releases without annoying buffering loops.
Fantasy cinema relies so heavily on immersion, which is why trying to watch these colorful, effect-laden movies on a small laptop or tablet completely ruins the director's vision. Sideloading a dedicated media manager onto your TV box is the absolute best way to route global cinema feeds straight to your home theater system. If you want a lightweight, fast platform to manage all your high-definition movie streams natively, using a verified super tv package provides an excellent user interface that makes finding your favorite media incredibly simple.
