Alice Through the Looking Glass was cool to see in the theater, but I
wouldn’t recommend it outside of that. It could’ve been a lot better.
Aesthetically it alternates between gorgeous and freakish; the plot’s
largely contradictory and uncompelling; the dialgoue is trite; and Mia
doesn’t quite have the presence to pull off the Alice they’re trying to
portray.
Roeper warned me that Alice Through the Looking Glass wasn’t going to be any good, but I didn’t listen. It looked pretty, so I wanted to see it. It was pretty. Although the Hatter and the Red Queen looked really freaky and screwed with the aesthetic appeal for a lot of the movie. Alice’s outfits were really cool, though. I loved that crazy thing that she wore to the ball.
