I don't remember the last time I saw actors more dispirited and bored than in Alice Through the Looking Glass.
Peter Rainer
It's an achievement of sorts, but it's worlds away from the poignant lunacy of the Lewis Carroll books.
Matthew Lickona
A solid kids' movie in the old style. One with something to say about something real - family and time- and a willingness to admit consequences, even as it serves up goofy humor, mild thrills, and slippy-slidey accents from slumming stars.
Kate Taylor
This sprawling tale trades yet again on cultural affection for Alice, the Hatter and the Red Queen without incorporating them into a story or a design that can stand on its own feet.
Adam Graham
Burton had the right idea sitting this one out; one trip to "Wonderland" was plenty.
Peter Travers
As Lewis Carroll should have said: Efficiency is no substitute for enchantment.
Bruce Kirkland
Alice, of Alice in Wonderland fame, is dead to me now. Alice Through the Looking Glass has killed her off as a viable character for a movie.
J. R. Jones
Children go to Lewis Carroll in search of lunacy. But this soulless Disney contraption, a sequel to Tim Burton's hit Alice in Wonderland, instead offers child-psyche self-pity.
Andrew Lapin
A whimsy-free business, in Wonderland, of all places! There could be no more ironic stand-in for today's franchise-mad movie marketplace, here to lop the heads off any and all creative personnel.
