Assuming that the literary work is only a starting point for inspiration, as happens here (the story completely deviates from the theme of the book of the same name), the narrative remains halfway without being entertaining enough, much less profound.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jan 14, 2024

The movie's overarching theme remains that time is short, and so we must make the most of it. But, thanks to this movie, time is a thief, stealing two unrecoverable hours from our lives.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Apr 11, 2022

The Walrus and the Carpenter are nowhere to be found in Alice Through the Looking Glass, meaning audiences will have to make do with the addition of Marty McFly and Captain Jack Sparrow.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 18, 2021

Doesn't feel like a movie designed to be memorable or enchanting, but simply to make money and entertain throughout its duration.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 25, 2021

Once the thrill of the cast and visuals wears off, this follow-up to Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland is a drag

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 9, 2021

Epic fantasy artfully directed by James Bobin but lacking the effortlessly odd feel of Tim Burton's work on the first film.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 3, 2021

Alice Through the Looking Glass left me with an extreme headache.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 2, 2021

While the supporting cast remains fairly well-engaged, Wasikowska is given something of a cipher to play, and offers little more than a scowl to play it with.

| Jan 6, 2021

The jokes aren't funny and the various interactions are either too generic to be poignant or too asinine to be significant.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Dec 4, 2020

Wasikowska seems disinterested here.

| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 1, 2020

This is not art - it's a financial plan.

| Original Score: D+ | Jul 13, 2020

Unfortunately, the follow up film, Alice Through the Looking Glass, sans the skilled technician behind the original entry, is a convoluted, joyless, nausea-inducing mess.

| Apr 1, 2020

Fantastic costuming, set design and A-list actors can't save the over-stuffed special effects and lack of narrative.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 23, 2020

An extraordinary visual wonder from beginning to end...meticulous attention to detail by director James Bobin on both the technical and creative levels.

| Nov 3, 2019

There are plenty of eye catching visuals, but this film is all over the place.

| Oct 21, 2019

The film misses Burton's odd charm, is largely devoid of humour and, in spite of Hathaway, Depp and Bonham Carter, is mostly a waste of time.

| Aug 15, 2019

As bad as the 2010 film is this is even worse.

| Original Score: D | Apr 12, 2019

It's a soulless, cynical cash grab - nothing more.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 2, 2019

Despite a talented cast and some incredibly rich source material, Alice Through the Looking Glass is little more than an ill-conceived and empty bauble, a candy-coated turd attempting (and failing) to pass as a delicious treat.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Feb 19, 2019

Another disappointing example of stunning visual design doing everything it can to mask a film without the narrative and characters to back it up.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 30, 2019
