Snow White (2025): Review

 Despite the best efforts from Rachel Zegler, Snow White fails to live up to the original film.

The story line was not well written. It failed to have the same charm that the original had, and the humor just didn't land like the original did also. I also hated the unnecessary subplots that the film put in, it amounted to nothing in the end, and was easily predictable. 

The acting was subpar. Rachel Zegler knocked it out of the park, and was definitely charming as Snow White. I personally thought Gal Gadot was very entertaining as the Evil Queen also. Outside of that, the acting wasn't good in the slightest.

The film's musical scores were okay. The mining song by the Dwarfs was charming as always, and the song "Waiting on a Wish" was a great song that Zegler did. Outside of that, the songs just weren't charming. Very mixed on the Evil Queen's song as well. Rachel Zegler does have a great voice though.

The visual effects were okay. I didn't mind the animals being CGI, but making the Dwarfs CGI was the worst mistake of the entire movie IMO. The mines looked really good also.

The characterization of the Dwarfs was butchered. They had no personality to them whatsoever, and were not nearly as funny as they were in the original, and even in the 2012 film Mirror Mirror. 

The emotion when Snow White died was good though, but that was about the last good thing in the film. 

Zegler does a great job, as does Gal Gadot, and certain songs work also, but the film just lacks the charm, and it is very dull unfortunately!

Out of 4 stars I would give it...
