But no one believes him.Īlice doesn’t either, but she’s always game to disprove the impossible. He’s convinced that his family, who he once thought were killed by the Jabberwocky, might be alive. The Mad Hatter - Johnny Depp, hamming it up to a nearly unwatchable degree - is so depressed that he can’t leave his house. Indeed, once she makes her way back to Wonderland, through a mirror, she agrees to a dangerous mission. Since every scene and snippet of dialogue hits you over the head with foreshadowing, we know that her talent for improvised disaster control will come in handy later. As it turns out, she’s a keen strategist, nearly capsizing her boat in order to evade the brigands. Ever the iconoclast, Alice first appears as a ship captain in 1874, on the run from pirates in the Straits of Malacca. The players remain the same, including Mia Wasikowska as the film’s heroine. Then, just like that, Absolem is gone - along with any pleasant feelings about this joyless jumble of a sequel.įor this second desecration of Lewis Carroll’s prose, producer Tim Burton has passed directing duties to James Bobin. How wonderful to hear the late actor’s marvelous baritone one more time. A blue butterfly named Absolem - voiced by Alan Rickman - beckons Alice back to Wonderland. The high point of “Alice Through the Looking Glass” comes early.
Please Disney, do the right thing and end this franchise with mercy.Alice (Mia Wasikowska) returns to Wonderland and takes a trip through time in “Alice Through the Looking Glass.” (Peter Mountain/Disney Enterprises) Do not watch this, not even if there’s a fire. For Wasikowska and Depp look no further than Trackswhich is currently on Netflix and Black Mass respectively. If you want a superior film from Bobin look at the reboot of The Muppets. A sluggish sloppy piece of slogging slobbering senselessness. Tim Burton didn’t direct this one but it is quite obvious to anyone that his fingerprints lay strewn about with this one and not in a good sense. Our Grade: D-, Truly an awful piece of cinematic drivel. Insofar as the direction, well I have no clue what Bobin is doing here and I am unsure he does either. From a narrative standpoint its lazy the acting is phoned in and only Sacha Baron Cohen seems to be bringing anything to life here. Not only did I not find this entertaining at all but I found it both an assault on my senses and my sensibilities. I am a tolerant man when it comes to Johnny Depp shenanigans but this was intolerable. What We Think: Oh man! This movie stinks. Once again she’ll have to withstand the Red Queens best shot. All of this to save her good friend The Mad Hatter (Depp) from his certain doom. This TIME she’ll have a much different threat. What It Is: Alice (Wasikowska) returns to Wonderland for the first time following her beating of the Jabbawocki and the subsequent dethroning of the evil Red Queen (Bonham Carter).
Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter
