OUR REVIEW :
Six years is a long time for a sequel. Lots of people saw 'Alice in Wonderland' back in March of 2010. It was a mega-blockbuster release, directed by Tim Burton and came out at the moment when a generation that grew up with 'Edward Scissorhands' and T'he Nightmare Before Christmas' had young kids of their own to bring to the theater on opening weekend. Johnny Depp´s tiresome Mad Hatter is brought back for a starring role : Alice must reunite and reconcile him with his family.

Unfortunately, at every turn the filmmaker has simplified, banalized and sentimentalized Alice and her psychological landscape. Six years agao, the film was the first major live-action 3D blockbuster coming on the heels of 'Avatar', the audiences may have enjoyed it more than the critics did, but it wasn´t like general audiences left the theater buzzing about the experience and dying for a follow-up. Now, Using only the title and some characters from Lewis Carroll´s own 1871 sequel, this new movie is just machine-tooled CGI fantasy fare.
