Critics Consensus

Alice Through the Looking Glass is just as visually impressive as its predecessor, but that isn't enough to cover for an underwhelming story that fails to live up to its classic characters.

Maybe after realizing that the time travelling is what is causing the bad things, you should STOP instead of making everything worse?

A haphazardly slapped together hodgepodge of unimpressive ideas that feel so absolutely terribly together.

I feel critics forget movies are supposed to be fun and entertaining, something this movie absoloutely was. The first movie shows the red queen as a one dimentional character who is only evil for the sake of being evil, the sequel shows she is more than that, which is why I am strangely fond of her. Also very happy to see Sacha Baron Cohen, I could feel Borat slipping out at times lol.

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.

[A] bland, overblown, characterless spectacle.

MovieFreak.com

While little touches here and there can't help but excite the senses, the lack of a nuanced story or intriguing characterizations makes maintaining interest for all two hours utterly ridiculous.

Rated: 1.5/4

Denise Pieniazek

A Sala Llena (Argentina)

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.

Rated: 4/10

Deep Focus Review

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.

Rated: 0.5/4

Film Frenzy

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.
