Alice Through The Looking Glass: 10 Reasons It's Worse Than The Original

10. It Has Little To Do With The Source Material

While it would be fair to say that Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland was itself a loose adaptation of Lewis Caroll's two Alice novels, it did, for its faults, manage to capture much of the essence of the source material...even if it didn't leave a whole lot for this sequel to graze on.

It's painfully evident (and likely explains the 6-year wait between movies) that screenwriter Linda Woolverton struggled to cobble together a plot for this sequel. As the prime rib material from both books had already been mined, Woolverton largely opted to come up with her own original content, the result of which is an incredibly mixed bag and sure to upset many Alice purists.

That said, anyone who loves Alice that much probably shouldn't be watching these movies anyway...
