Movie Review Summary

This film came out about the same time as Snow White and the Huntsman (featuring Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron, which has already been reviewed). Having seen them both it is interesting to see how both have attempted to retell the story, adapting what we know and love and telling us a different adventure. Whereas Snow White and the Huntsman went for the more epic approach, this one went the route of appealing to children and keeping the story simple. On balance, I prefer Mirror Mirror because it doesn’t have the annoying flaws of Snow White and the Huntsman and because it is probably more akin in style and substance to the original story. That said, it’s still not a great adaptation and it still has its own flaws. Hopefully the next attempt at retelling the story will do it better justice.
