Best of all is Time’s castle, populated with a bunch of steampunk, Miyazaki-like minions all of whom are rather extraordinary.

Watching Alice zip through the oceans of time, seeing her interact with the menagerie of colorful characters, it’s all pretty eye-popping. It is visually stunning, and as amazing as the effects work and the CGI world-building in Alice in Wonderland was, it is even more impressive this time around.

Instead, it is Mirana and Iracebeth’s childhoods that stiff-arm their way to the center of the stage, the whole movie coming down to a did not-did too argument that’s every bit as infantile as it sounds. Even with Alice traipsing back through the years, he’s something of a non-presence, making his ultimate thrust to the center of all the chaos during the last act silly as it is unwarranted. Oddly, Depp, caked in the same clownish makeup, clad in a variety of colorful, imaginatively bizarre costumes designed once again by the great Colleen Atwood ( Into the Woods, Chicago), is subtly charming this go-around, and if only he’d been given more of interest to do, he might have made something worthwhile out of at least some of this obnoxious tedium.īut, even with the story essentially revolving around him, his family and their not-nearly-as-complex-as-you-might-surmise history of hat making in the world of Wonderland, there’s actually precious little for the Hatter to do.
Both of them are a chore to be around, almost from the first second they appear on the screen, while minor secondary characters portrayed by the likes of Ed Speleers and Andrew Scott are so incessantly cartoonish they’re instantly laughable. While the visuals astonish, while a handful of moments amuse, overall this is a frenetic, absurdly chaotic piece of nonsense, one that makes its points with a glib, moralistic superiority that’s as unfortunate as it is unappealing.Įven more so than the first film, most of the human characters are mercilessly overacted, Hathaway and Carter, the latter of who was arguably the best thing about Alice in Wonderland, strangely enough, the most egregious culprits on that front. Once again featuring a screenplay by scribe Linda Woolverton ( Maleficent), with director James Bobin ( Muppets Most Wanted) taking over for the departed Tim Burton (who stays on as a producer), the movie is every bit as messy, and also as instantly forgettable, as its predecessor. What Alice didn’t realize is that by stealing this item from Time she’s unwittingly put all of Wonderland in jeopardy, and if the young adventurer doesn’t return it to its proper place soon all residing within the domain will be frozen outside of existence for the rest of eternity.Īlice Through the Looking Glass has about as much to do with author Lewis Carroll’s immortal characters as 2010’s Alice in Wonderland did. What she learns doesn’t just shine the light of truth upon the Hatter, but also on Mirana and her sister the wicked Queen of Hearts Iracebeth ( Helena Bonham Carter). But are they dead? In a search to discover the truth behind their demise, Alice journeys to the castle of Time ( Sacha Baron Cohen) himself, in the process borrowing a small trinket that allows her to transport herself into the past.
