Alice in Wonderland 2010
This is better than Dumbo simply because there's actually some decent elements here. Helena Bonham Carter is an excellent actor and she's giving a solid performance here and the only one worth praising.

The performances on the whole are terrible, the film does not need to be nearly 2 hours and it's a completely pointless film to exist in general. I'm still missing Alice in Wonderland and Miss Peregrine from Burton's filmography so let's see if it can get worse.

Excellent performances across the board with Mikey Madison giving not just the best female performance of the year but the best performance of the year in general. She doesn’t overshadow any of the other performances per se but this really is…
