Now, from the movie's title and the movie's cover, I figured that this was most likely a mockbuster from The Asylum. Lo and behold, my assumptions were true. "Snow White and the Seven Samurai" is indeed a mockbuster from The Asylum.

I've seen enough dubious movies from The Asylum to be able to spot their movies a mile away. But there are actually the occasional good movie among the questionable movies that The Asylum spews out. And who knows, maybe "Snow White and the Seven Samurai" would be one such movie? And thus, I opted to watch the movie on account of it being a movie that I hadn't already seen. But I harbored no expectations to director Michael Su.

The script that writers Marc Gottlieb and Jacob David Smith concocted was actually not that bad, if you just look past the movie's title and take it for a random martial arts action movie that stumbled out of the 1990s. All that was missing was Cynthia Rothrock or Don 'The Dragon' Wilson.

Of the entire cast ensemble, I was familiar only with Eric Roberts and Anthony Jensen. The acting performances in the movie were actually fair enough, well aside from the over-acting put on by actress Gina Vitori.

The CGI effects in the movie were laughable. Especially the scene where the building exploded; it was so bad I had to go back a second time just to watch it again, laughing throughout it both times. It looked like something that was discarded in a 1990s computer game, because it looked too awful.

There is a fair amount of action and fighting in the movie, which definitely helped carry the movie a long way.

This movie is as cheesy as you would assume it would be given its title. So at least there was no surprise there.

My rating of director Michael Su's 2024 movie "Snow White and the Seven Samurai" lands on a five out of ten stars.
