Burton produces this sequel, but directing duties have been passed off to James Bobin, a TV comedy veteran who impressed thoroughly on his feature debut 2011's The Muppets and less so on its just okay 2014 sequel Muppets Most Wanted. Moviegoers thought it was all right, giving it a mediocre 6.5 on IMDb where Burton movies usually get a bit of a bump. Critics didn't care much for Burton's movie. That seems to be reason enough for Disney to make a sequel,Īlbeit an altogether untimely one in Alice Through the Looking Glass, arriving six years later. Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland grossed over a billion dollars worldwide in 2010, becoming only the sixth film to generate a 10-figure haul.

I was also quite invested in the first act when it comes to the story, but when we got to Wonderland, everything went downhill from there. I did, though, really appreciate the film’s fantastical elements thanks to dazzling CGI and great world building.

Sasha Baron Cohen’s Time is undercooked as a character and not as fun as the movie thinks he is. It was a lesser shock for me personally as I knew what to expect this time around and I accepted that this isn’t my Alice story so I could find it serviceable in some ways, but for the most part it remains a mediocrity. I approve of what she’s trying to do, but the subtlety is always thrown off the roof when it comes to her recent movies.Īlice Through the Looking Glass is pretty much on par with its predecessor.

I liked her story, but again the writing from Linda Woolverton here is very bad and aggressively feminist in an obvious way. But that’s more than could be said for Johnny Depp who sleepwalked through this movie and delivered what is inarguably one of his worst, most horrible performances.Īlice is likable and well played by Mia Wasikowska. That was emotional and satisfactory, mostly thanks to two strong performances from Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter. I did like the relationship between White Queen and Red Queen. These iconic Lewis Carroll characters should remain mysterious and never be given backstories. Yes, this movie is entirely needless as we never wanted to know about this stuff and certainly none of it matters in the long run. Have you ever wondered what was the origin story of the Mad Hatter? Neither have I.

Alice then travels through time and embarks on a race to save the Hatter before time runs out. “ Everyone parts with everything eventually, my dear “Īlice comes across a magical looking glass that takes her back to Wonderland where she finds that the Mad Hatter is madder than usual and wants to discover the truth about his family. It’s another mediocre offering from this series. ………………………………………………… Alice Through the Looking Glass Movie ReviewĪlice Through the Looking Glass is a 2016 fantasy film directed by James Bobin and starring Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska.
