Best movie of this year hands down!

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Unfortunately not even Miranda Richardson couldn't save this film. She was great, and Kirstin Kreuk pretty as always. Michael J. Anderson was good too, but that's about it. Some of the acting looked like it came right out of a school play. Some of the costumes were great too, but other costumes were ridiculous. Whoever cam up with the idea of dressing the dwarfs in rainbow colours? And why did Wednesday's costume make him look like he pooped his pants? End conclusion: I want my 93 minutes back.

Move over Disney! When I first saw Snow White: The Fairest of them All, I thought that it was most definitely the fairest. How did it make it on the top ten charts? Well, usually when you see a retelling of the story you see the seven dwarfs. The story is also usually made for little kids- but not this one. This version also gives background information on the evil queen and how her magestic brother turned her from a hag to the beautiful lady. She was given to Snow White's father because Snow White's father woke the hags brother up from the ice. The father was given one wish, so he got a wife. In the original they didn't go too deep. No dwarfs, but the colors of the rainbow instead (they had the names of the weeks also). This version could be enjoyed by kids and adults also. With more of a plot, more romance, and an excellent mirror room, this beats Disney 100%!

To be be honest, I was expecting this movie to be terrible. I'm a big fan of Warwick Davis and bought the movie just because he was in it. What I expected to be a cheesy, poorly acted retelling of a tired fairytale, turned out to be an only occasionally cheesy movie with a few casting mistakes that was reasonably entertaining. The queen's back story and the intertwining of other fairy tales (pinches of Snow White & Rose Red and Snow Queen)make an otherwise predictable story interesting. Miranda Richardson is amazing as the queen to the point where she makes up for the fact that Snow White is just reciting lines and her father is overly dramatic and completely unbelievable. As for the seven, I was disappointed with the flatness of some characters. Script-wise the leader is really the only one with depth, so I can see where some of the actors struggled to show humanity, but when half of them act like they have feelings, and the other half act like they stepped out of a Disney *shudders* movie, is make all seven seem fake. It's still fun to watch, though, if for no other reason than to see Warwick Davis threaten to beat up some one twice his size.

Snow white has always been, and always will be, such a classic story. Now, after watching this film i am greatly disappionted in one; the dramaticly changed, and at times confussing plot line, and two; Vincent Schiavelli role within the film.After watching 'One flew over the cuckoo's nest' just the other night, and now seeing Schiavelli in this dud of a film, i must say how disheartened i was to see such a great actor stoop to a awful rendition, as this was.Although it was ment to be a more 'modern' insite to snow white, it really didnt do anything for me. Change of story line, bad acting, and over-done 'special effects' are only a few of the things that ruined this film.
