Watch Alice Through the Looking Glass For Free

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

You know those scenes with time? Simply awful. I could hardly understand what he was saying. Alice's voice was annoying. No expression at all. I mean I'm no high-end critic, but jesus this movie was bad. I couldn't even sit through it, thank goodness I was watching it at home. Also, just for disclaimer's sakes, if you're watching this movie for the book itself, save your time, it's nothing like the book.

The two Alice books are must-read classics, and have found their way onto screen in many different versions. James Bobin's film is a direct sequel to Tim Burton's Wonderland film: both take their names from Lewis Carroll's books, but neither takes any more than characters from them: Alice Through The Looking Glass is another original story.The end of Burton's Alice In Wonderland movie saw our heroine ditch her nerdy fiancée and go off to sea. Through the Looking Glass starts with a dramatic sea chase, before Absalom the Butterfly (voiced by Alan Rickman in his final cinema work) calls her back to Underland, where the Mad Hatter (now named as Tarrant Hightopp) is pining away for his lost family. Alice's adventure - seeking the Hightopp family - involves her stealing a time machine from Time himself, a menacing personification of entropy, who is understandably miffed at having this mechanism nicked, especially given that it has the potential to unravel reality.In short, the story has nothing whatsoever to do with Carroll's book. Having said that, it's not a bad story - it holds the attention, has lots of eventfulness and action, illuminates some of the characters, offers a couple of emotional moments, and allows Johnny Depp to mug from under the Hatter's elaborate makeup. I preferred it to the story offered in the previous film.The visuals are, as expected, impressive, and Sacha Baron Cohen's Time is a good addition to the cast. Rhys Ifans as the Hatter's Dad makes less impression. The reservations I had with the first film are still there - Barbara Windsor is just plain Wrong as the voice of the dormouse, naming the characters is both unnecessary and irritating, Anne Hathaway's White Queen's airy-fairy affectations get on your nerves, and Helena Bonfire Carter's Red Queen is still nicked wholesale from Queenie in Blackadder.Mia Wasikowska's Alice is pleasingly feisty, more so than she was in Wonderland. And so we come to Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter. We've seen the character before, of course, and Depp once more gives us the gentle, lisping, well-spoken and slightly barmy Hatter who has a bond with Alice, as well as the occasional psychopath from the Gorbals. To these he adds the declining depressive, a sad reflection of the heartier main iteration. But ultimately they are all Johnny Depp doing funny voices under funny makeups and, despite their appeal, I do find myself wondering if Depp has now overdone the heavily disguised eccentric phase of his career.This is nonetheless an enjoyable film, more so than its predecessor.

I really enjoyed the Alice in Wonderland film so I was looking forward to seeing this one. Alice Kingsleigh (Mia Wasikowska) is captaining her father's ship, The Wonder, escaping Malay pirates and giving orders to port while her crew is going to starboard but they escape anyway. She's a year late returning to London only to find that her father has died and her jilted fiancé Hamish has taken over. Her mother has agreed to sell the family's shares in the shipping company and give up The Wonder to save her home. Absolem (Alan Rickman) turns up and Alice follows him through the Looking Glass. The Hatter (Johnny Depp) is all depressed. He is haunted by memories of his family killed by the Jabberwocky. Alice has to get the Chronosphere from Time (Sacha Baron Cohen) and return to the past to save Hatter's family. The White Queen (Anne Hathaway) is there making strange gestures with her hands but with well-groomed eyebrows this time and the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) is back and apparently off her meds again. Then Alice wakes up and everything since she went through the looking glass was a dream while she was in the insane asylum. And the Hatter's family is fine, they have been living in an ant farm. The movie goes downhill from there.

Just saw on Netflix, not even interested to watch it but put it up to entertain my young niece while i browse away on the phone. But from the quick glances, eventually it pulled me in by the stunning visuals, beautifully crafted and unique constumes, special effects are feast for the eyes and the oh so wonderful witty and melodious dialogue was captivating and heartfelt. I never read Lewis Carroll before, only watched the movies or Disney cartoons. This is wonderful movie and a joy to watch. Main cast was amazing especially Johnny Depp, Mia and surprisingly Sacha Baron Cohen whom I'm not actually a fan, but his character was so interesting. Love this. Such an underrated movie. Watching this again later with full attention.
