‘Snow White’ slammed with brutal audience reviews
'Snow White' certainly was not helped by the several controversies surrounding it
The live action adaptation of Snow White from Disney has finally hit theaters after major controversies, but the film’s bad luck has not run out yet.
The adaptation has received significant backlash since the initial casting of Rachel Zegler as the titular character was announced. Although it begun as racism, the criticism became more generalized when the actress called the source material “dated” and creepy.
There have also been rumours of a rift between her and the other lead, Gal Gadot for their opposing political views.
Taking to IMDb, one user wrote, “It's diabolical, honestly, I can't understand how so much money and so much time has gone into this, the final result is cringe worthy. It is an absolute shocker, I am stumped to find any positives. Disney, what on Earth have you done?”
About Zegler’s performance, an audience member remarked, “Rachel Zegler, who takes on the iconic role of Snow White, delivers a performance that feels stiff and uninspired. While she undeniably has a strong singing voice, her acting lacks the warmth and charm that made the animated Snow White so beloved. Her line delivery often comes off as forced, and she struggles to bring emotional depth to the character. Instead of exuding the innocence and kindness associated with Snow White, her portrayal feels distant and, at times, even disengaged.”
Warning audiences not to waste their time, a third user said, “I went into this with an open mind, but in spite of my best efforts, I could not enjoy this ‘film’. It was so sad to see such an amazing animated film ruined by such a poor attempt of modernization. They should have just made a new Disney flick. The storyline was forced and focused on the wrong things, cgi was terrible Better casting could have helped as well, as the acting is just bad. Don't waste your money, or your time.”
