Lack of good storyline.

A different way of telling a story

Mirror Mirror presents a magical world where accents appear and disappear, where jokes fall flat and where fairy tales are made bland -- at least the costume design is good. Lily Collins is actually quite adorable in this movie, and it adds a few new elements to the classic story, but everything just seems a bit off. Mirror Mirror doesn't reach it's full potential, which is sad because, since The Fall, I expected great things from Tarsem Singh.

(Flash Review)I was very reluctant to even give this a shot. It wasn't that bad. Sure it isn't spectacular but it is kid focused and actually has some respectable and creative visuals while putting its own little spin on the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs tale. The acting was quality and had some fun and visually impressive moments. Overall, it's a professionally done, had big name actors and was a safe for the whole family type of movie with dashes of humor.

too criticize it is very easy. Lily Collins is far to be the perfect choice for Snow White, Julia Roberts gives a too strange character. Nathan Lane is the only OK. other actor was the better choice for the Prince. the great problem is to analyse too serious each aspect of movie and ignore its humor. because , against expectations, it is a comedy. not the best but charming and real comfortable. its target - a large public. its purpose - not to propose a parody but another manner to discover a classic fairy tale. and the result is far to be bad. the costumes, the evil queen who is only a poor woman in a delicate period. Snow White who is only a child who becomes the brave woman, the prince who has not the chance to be more than himself, the costumes, songs and adventures, all as ideal package for a lovely gift. for a year in which Snow White was disputed by two adaptations, Mirror Mirror propose a nice way to discover the old fairy tale in a colorful and real nice manner.

After hearing for years how this movie was a bore, I though another tale of snow white, good job there Hollywood. But then I saw this added to Netflix Japan and I gave it a go. To my delightful surprise this movie was humorous and colorful. I'm not saying there weren't predictable parts or a bit of cheese. But overall there were so many silly parts I found myself laughing out loud. If there's any reason to watch this movie it's the comical back and forth between the seven dwarfs. The colors were so vivid that you might have thought Wes Anderson chimed in now and then. The only part I got second hand embarrassment from was the song at the ending, it was just a bit off.
