Biancaneve

Disney DNA was originality, innovative artistry, emotional storytelling, attention to detail, timeless appeal and a sense of wonder. These remakes all fail on every aspect.

• Originality: (It's a remake after all)

• Innovative artistry: There is no innovative tech, or anything that pushes movie making forward.

• Emotional storytelling: While the singing is good enough to make you feel chills, in terms of story it just doesn't lands and feels emotionally flat. Maybe, grumpy amd sleepy get close to making you feel something, but it gets easily overshadow.

• Attention to detail: The dwarfs look creepy and also weird when they are next to Rachel Zegler. And the other sub plot with the 7 randoms just make you feel like this movie was chopped in post by executives who intervene in the creative process.

• Timeless appeal: The original was timeless theme, a kind hearted humble princess who was pretty on the inside and outside VS a jealous arrogant egocentric queen who was all about superficiality. This one is about a woman who wants to overthrow the government because she believes she is more kind than the queen. Very lazy and forgettable.

Sense of wonder: No imagination, you don't feel like you are exploring something you haven't seen before, it doesn't spark that childlike curiosity and awe about things that aren't real, but could be plausible.

Disney DNA died in the 90s. Ever since then they have been culturally and creatively bankrupt, and only survived thanks to all the acquisitions of far more creative and imaginative studios which they gradually are turning to trash.

The original snow white is still remembered almost a century later whereas the new one will be forgotten a year from now.

When people have to choose which one to watch, people will say "let's watch the good one" without specifying what the good one is, and yet everyone will instantly know what the good one is; the animated one.

This movie completely misses the mark by stripping away the character's signature softness and warmth. Rachel Zegler's Snow White comes across more frustrated than kind, often sounding angry rather than hopeful or gentle. While she has a strong voice, it doesn't fit the character, making her feel more like a rebellious heroine than the classic princess.

Gal Gadot's Evil Queen doesn't help either her performance feels stiff and uninspired, she sounded bored and it completely took away the charm.

The CGI dwarfs are another misstep, looking awkward and unnatural, which only adds to the film's disjointed feel.

Putting aside of all the political controversy and discussions revolving around the film, if we focus this remake as itself, still, it is really unnecessary and quite dull.

Disney has continued to prove that live-action remakes of classic animated tales are getting tiresome and unoriginal. Besides The Jungle Book and Pete's Dragon remake being pretty good, the other remakes have remained dull, baffling, or offensive. Snow White is one of those dull ones. Covered with excessive usages of CGI and colors, the camerawork, production style and colors feel bloated and unsocial. Alongside with the bland direction, uninteresting takes of how they tell the tale and where the characters were once beloved in the animated movie, becomes lifeless and uninteresting here. The choice of using CGI dwarfs really was a bad idea because it came off as quite uncanny and unintentionally creepy to observe at times.

The performances....aren't very great. Rachel Zegler does give her best as she does have solid moments including some of the voice performances from the other cast. Gal Gadot, however, her performance really didn't work at all. Gadot lacks the emotion and creep charm to what the Evil Queen should have been.

Despite some good looking designs on the backgrounds and all, it was really boring. Marc Webb tries his best but unfortunately, really little about this would ever work.

Please, audiences, stop giving the remakes money because they are just as responsible for the remakes to keep existing.

Saw this at the cinema with my six-year-old daughter. She laughed at a few scenes but whispered, "this is boring" about forty five minutes in. Watched the rest but we were both happy when the movie ended.

For me, the CGI was distractingly bad. I wasn't aware of the issues the film had with casting prior to the release but they should have either gone with actual actors or spent more money. It's worse than you think, and it's not just the dwarves, the forest and other scenes are poorly done.

A couple of the songs were catchy but by that point I just wanted the credits to roll. Acting wise, I guess the actors had to work with what they were given, but they seemed disconnected and going through the motions. Snow white's lines sounded forced and uncommitted. A better actor might have played the role more believably but again, she had to work with what she was given. I think though, the original film had an innocence this actress didn't grasp or was unable to portray.

Really, this movie seemed more like a 'direct to video' movie than a large budget Disney production. I've seen better CGI in small budget television shows and far better acting. Maybe miss this one unless your little ones really want to see it. Even then, maybe wait for it to be free on a streaming service. It's just not worth paying to see.

As always, whenever there's a negative hype around a movie, my mindset is always, prove them wrong, give it a chance.

It's diabolical, honestly, I can't understand how so much money and so much time has gone into this, the final result is cringe worthy. It is an absolute shocker, I am stumped to find any positives.

It looks and feels so artificial, the sets, the animals, as for The Dwarves themselves, I have no words to express my feelings there.

The biggest catastrophe, not what I was expecting if I'm honest, the worst offender, Gal Gadot, she looks sensational, but her performance, she's going to scoop some unwanted awards it's fair to say.

What I wasn't expecting, was just how poor the costumes would look on screen, Snow White's just doesn't translate very well, the hairstyle, what were they thinking?

Disney, what on Earth have you done?

1/10.
