The greatest movie review of all time is Roger Ebert's review of Pearl Harbor:

“Pearl Harbor” is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours, about how on Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on an American love triangle. Its centerpiece is 40 minutes of redundant special effects, surrounded by a love story of stunning banality. The film has been directed without grace, vision, or originality, and although you may walk out quoting lines of dialog, it will not be because you admire them.

Same. He was one of the good ones. All these years later and I still haven't found a proper substitute movie reviewer who is both funny and "gets it". You could always trust his judgement. His review of Shoot 'Em Up (when so many other critics panned it) was always a perfect example to me of how he never succumbed to snobbery despite maintaining an excellent eye.

It's a shame we'll never hear him savagely eviscerate the currently creatively bankrupt Hollywood with their endless sequels and remakes.

Rumor has it gal gadot was going to pass on the movie until Disney told her it was a bomb directed at children

I think the best thing for Disney in this scenario would have been to just leave the IP alone, there are so many groups of people it belittles.

Dwarves, coloured people, the idea that white skin is a desirable trait, snogging comatose women...

*comatose children. In the original Grimms version, Snow White is seven. In the original Disney version, she's 14.

While the 1812 draft did say she was 7, she was made to be older in the final draft.

Do they actually say that though? From what I've read about this, Disney doesn't explicitly state her age.

I had no interest in this movie either way, but now I want to see if its even remotely as bad as people are claiming it is.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Most people I've heard from said that it wasn't nearly as bad as they were expecting, but that this made the overall experience worse, because it wasn't bad enough to be entertainingly bad. A friend described it as being so mediocre and bland that their head was constantly filled with the question "why was this even made?". All of the live action adaptations have felt pretty pointless, but this one seems to be steeped in "inexplicable disdain towards the original work", whilst having nothing new and interesting to say to warrant said disdain.

All this to say that it's probably not worth your time

Not even fun to watch ironically.

Apparently it's not all that bad. There was just a lot of talk about how it was going to be

"Snow White is not only the #1 movie at the worldwide box office this week, but it is also the #5 biggest movie of the year at the global box office. At the domestic box office, Snow White sits at #3"

Disney reacting to those reviews:
