Visually stunning but little more than that

Rating: 5/10 (15 August 2017)

Return of Alice to Wonderland directed by Tim Burton. Visually stunning but little more than that, with a misleading title because this film is a sequel to the original story; I admit that I was 'half lost' until I realized that when the movie was already halfway through. The story is basically Alice revisiting, step by step, what she had already done, only the end differs and not for the better. The actress Mia Wasikowska is a very insipid Alice and the rest of the performances are only generic. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter try, but they cannot raise the movie above average. A failed opportunity of what could and should have been a masterpiece.
