A shallow, stunted spectacle that does surprisingly little with its rich source. Instead, it is Tim Burton’s successful stab at inoffensive, unchallenging children’s entertainment.

The outcome is loud and excessive and just plain awful, reminding us that there’s more to filmmaking than art design alone.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 22, 2023

It’s a whole lot of noise thrown together with loose hands into not much of anything.

For almost two hours we become prisoners in a land of menacing delight. [Full review in Spanish]

The movie badgers rather than charms, but it's rescued by Helena Bonham Carter's brisk performance as the Red Queen.

Disney's is kind of a tepid liberal feminism, but that's far more badass and entertaining than no feminism at all.

Full Review | Dec 23, 2020

The character designs are all underwhelming (except for the Red Queen), the sets are grand but hardly original, and the costumes are fashionably interesting but random.

Depp is nothing short of astounding as this mad in the best of ways Mad Hatter.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 1, 2020

Director Tim Burton's effort here is a mild disappointment.

Take your own trip down the rabbit hole and don't be late because you've got a very important date with Disney's ALICE IN WONDERLAND.

Full Review | Nov 6, 2019

But Depp's performance is richer and more coherent than the film itself-a rather laborious narrative that careens through a string of set pieces without transporting us.

This joyless adaptation of a beloved story comes up short in almost every way.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 7, 2019

Despite some intriguing visual aspects, "Alice" proves to be quite dull, unable to overcome an internal battle with the film's overall tone.

Full Review | Original Score: C | May 10, 2019

It's seriously beautiful at intervals that command attention. There's a war theme in it that's pursued with surprising gravity.

If Burton and other filmmakers want to empower girls, perhaps, just once, they might show them how characteristics other than physical strength and agility are valuable.

Full Review | Oct 4, 2018

It's horribly generic. This is a Disney film and it feels like a Disney film, whereas I'd hoped it would feel like a Tim Burton film.

Alice in Wonderland is one of those tragic movies whose frame story is actually more interesting than the story itself.

Full Review | May 23, 2018

No amount of production design can make up for directorial laziness. This Alice in Wonderland would be better if it were shot in black-and-white on VHS tape with actors in furry mascot costumes.

The magic of this version of Alice in Wonderland is undoubtedly, in the Burton touch... [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 15, 2018

Though visually stunning, Alice In Wonderland is more funny than anything else (thanks mostly to Depp's Mad Hatter).
