10 Upcoming Blockbusters That Could Easily Bomb With Critics

8) Alice In Wonderland: Through The Looking Glass

Financially, Tim Burton’s live action version of Alice In Wonderland fared extremely well, but the soulless characters and flimsy plotting didn’t impress critics as much, whose combined reviews gave the film a grand total of 52% on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite this, a sequel titled Alice In Wonderland: Through The Looking Glass was greenlit soon after, because… money.

A glimmer of hope for the film resides with Burton’s replacement James Bobin, who co-created the offbeat comedy show Flight Of The Conchords and recently found huge success with the two latest cinematic outings from those lovable puppets, The Muppets. However, sequels aren’t exactly renowned for improving upon the originals and those that do tend to have been of a fairly high quality to begin with.

Despite featuring the return of talented performers like Helena Bonham Carter alongside new additions Sacha Baron Cohen and Rhys Ifans, Alice In Wonderland: Through The Looking Glass is likely to leave audiences wishing that Alice had snapped her neck when she first fell down that rabbit hole, saving us all from yet another tedious franchise.
