A classic fairy tale retold for the modern audience with a slice of twist. Some tales are worth adapting and they can be great additions to the silver screen. Sadly Snow White is not one of them. Even as fans we love the Good v Evil story and we are inspired by the nuances in these fairy tales, we need to question as creative people would they make a good movie. Truth be told not every book can be a good movie and this goes true for this one.
The movie starts of slowly and falls apart without giving us much. The story is just not energetic enough to keep the cinema goers on the toes and you will soon fall into bouts of drowsiness. Though a good adaptation of the book, it is just not entertaining enough to keep you engrossed for the entire length. As we already know the whole story it seems pointless to keep watching. There are no outstanding performances and nothing great about the movie, it is an average flair and lacks the synergy to hold its own.Also considering the story we liked most is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, we hardly get any screen time with the seven.
I am almost completely surprised whenever I see Kristen Stewart in a movie. Apart from the hype surrounding her, I am yet to see a performance of substance from her. She dissapoints again as Snow White, though always expecting more but somehow she has never grown out of her distinctive acting style which involves a small collections of expressions and flat dialogue delivery. On the other end of the coin is Charlize Theron as the White Queen, though from her I always expect brilliance, it isn't quite like her to dissapoint me twice in one week with her choice of roles.Most of the other members of the cast are let down by a lackless script.The Dwarfs are cast well but they have hardly no role to play within the movie and I was dissapointed at the how the script handled them.
Nothing exciting in this one, rather sit at home and read the fairy tale or this movie might ruin that for you too.
