In the review I linked above, I go into detail over why the story and purpose of Looking Glass is atrocious to the point of my stamping it a very low grade (lower than the “C” I would grade Alice in Wonderland). Unless you have a sadist passion for seeing the Mad Hatter and Alice embarking on elaborate adventures in Wonderland just for the sake of it, then this entire film will ring as hollow as the 3D. And I suspect even further that those fans will be mixed on Looking Glass for the most part. I suspect that the only people who will care for this sequel are strict fans of Burton’s 2010 interpretation.

It seems Disney learned from all the wrong takeaways in that first film’s success, namely how important the Mad Hatter deserves to be in his role thanks to the fact that Johnny Depp is playing him.īelow are my lingering thoughts on the film, but my full review and breakdown is available here. Over half a decade later, her adventures continue, though not much has changed to the film’s detriment. It wasn’t very good or anything, but the 3D at the time was so stunning, and the effects so magical, it was easy to overlook how off-putting it was to see Alice being transposed as a fantasy hero, complete with a boring, unrelated side plot in the real world.
When I saw the first live-action film, Alice in Wonderland, I found the whole thing sort of…OK.
