NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

middlebaby2008 I thought that the storyline came into place very well. I liked this movie a lot. If you're going to rag on a Bridget Fonda movie, you can just rot. I thought that ragging on movie stars was a bad idea. Apparently somebody doesn't think so. I rather enjoyed the movie. I'm even thinking of buying it. I want it to be my very first DVD for my room. That's how much I like it. I rather would not start an online argument with someone I don't know & have it be over a movie. If someone could kindly retract what they said about the storyline, I would be more than happy to retract my insult. However, if they feel that I am not worthy of a retraction, I might just feel that they are not worthy of one either. But I can't control their actions, I can only encourage them in the right direction. Hey, they don't have to make a retraction, but I would greatly appreciate it.

lothy Warning: I may include some spoilers in this review.I remember hearing the story of the Snow Queen as a child, and being terrified. The first part of this movie captured that atmosphere entirely as Kai begins to change, but after he is taken and Gerda goes off on her adventures, the tension is mostly lost.Bridget Fonda completely looks the role of the Snow Queen, and is generally pretty good too, especially in what is probably her main line: 'Let the whole world be as I am.' Kai is bland, and Gerda starts the same although as the movie progresses that changes.Some things in the movie just seem to be completely ignored or forgotten. Who is this polar-bear-changed-into-man? Why did the Snow Queen kill Gerda's mother? Why is Autumn a robber? Some parts are also dragged out too much; for instance, the scenes at the beginning of the lovers skating just go on for too long, and begin to feel far too soppy.Contrary to one of the other reviews I've read, I felt the ending was actually pretty good. Winter being carried away by the ex-polar-bear gives the feeling that, rather than the typically stupid idea of 'evil turning good at the last minute', that she instead was merely going back to the way she was, and should have been, that she had been bewitched by the mirror.

a_guest05 Okay, I really dont care what most of you are saying, because you all are soooo much into details. But my personal opinion is that this is one of the best movies I have EVER seen. Its not got poor casting-I couldnt see anyone else playing some of those parts! Even though there are old versions of the movie, and a book. I like this version AND its characters. This is by far one of my favorite movies. =)

raveness-2 So this review is probably a year away from its start date but I just saw it on video and feel compelled to say something.The story was awesome, the movie definitely dragged. Bridget Fonda did look good as the snow queen but her acting is off a bit, someone may want to remind her this is a hallmark movie she's in.Gerda and Kai were cute. The made a cute couple.Visually, everything was beautiful. The landscape, the snow, the snow queen - everything.Now I have to read the book again....
