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.

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.

Rated: 2/5

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

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.

Rated: 1.5/4

A pesar de sus buenos diseños que tiene la peli original, no era tan necesario darle una secuela al remake, porque esta secuela tiene muchos problemas.
