Customer Reviews of Snow White - The Fairest of Them All

At first, I was troubled by the seven dwarfs however as 1 of them was not a small person but a normal sized human but as the movie progressed, I began to see that it was not his physical size that was the problem but his mental attitude - which is why he and the other 6 drawfs didn't really see any difference between them or anyone else for that matter.

The special effects were great - especially the magic behind the enchanted mirror, the costumes and the sets. I believe this version to be suitable for the whole family. I just hope that there are lots of extra features on the DVD like interviews, beind the scenes, trailors, maybe even screen tests...

The Best Live Action Version of Snow White!
Growing up, I love watching the Disney cartoon. The story was so enchanting. I have read the original story by the Brothers Grimm and it was very dark. I liked this version a lot because it combines the best parts of the original story, but sweetens it up enough so its enjoyable. It also has added clever surprises not found in any other version of the story, not to mention neat special effects considdering its low budget and the fact that it was made for television. Kristin Kreuk of the WB's Smallville makes her feature film debut as Snow White, the sixteen year old princess whos father has fallen under the spell of her evil stepmother, played by Miranda Richardson from t.v's Merlin and Alice In Wonderland. The prince is also played by the young man who played Karl in Dinotopia. This movie is not rated, but I would rate it PG. It contains no language or violence, but it does steer towards the darker side of this classic fairy tale and may not be sutible for the younger audience. That's what the cartoon is for.

A Moderate Version, Certainly NOT The Fairest Though...
This film is, in a word a.... mishmash. The plot does not exactly follow the story as told by the brothers grimm, nor does it seem to have any one direction or moral. There are so many touches in this film that just don't even represent what the story is about. It is not a true enough interpretation to even please little kids, besides the fact that the scenery is beautiful and the music is alright too. Kristin Kreuk could have been a beautiful Snow White but she is very, very stiff. One might think that she already took a bite of the poisoned apple (or wished she would have) in the first few moments that we see her onscreen. Kreuk plays a very depressed Snow White indeed!
Miranda Richardson delivers a fair performance as, not exactly a queen but more like an ugly enchantress transformed by her brother(This character doesn't really seem to have a place in the story, a very odd choice)who is given the throne. I feel that there are some decent parts in this movie. But nothing screams Snow White. Like I said, the scenery is beautiful but this is not a movie for everyone. You'll either be confused or fall asleep if you are not a big fan of fairy tales or have some knowledge of other tales. It seems as though there were parts from other grimm stories such as The Bear Prince and Snow White and Rose Red incorporated in the plot of this movie but they really do nothing for the story and were a poor choice. Overall, this is not the definitive version and could have been so much more. Watch it if you must, but there are alot better film versions of the wonderful story out there.
