Opinions on Disney’s Snow White vary greatly, showcasing both positive accolades and constructive critiques.

The Good

In a favorable light, numerous critics have singled out Rachel Zegler’s performance as the film’s most impressive aspect, commending her powerful vocals, captivating charisma, and magnetic screen presence. Some spectators found the movie to be an innovative and visually appealing revamp, lauding its contemporary themes, vibrant visuals, and the inclusion of fresh music by Pasek and Paul. A few even went so far as to label it one of Disney’s stronger live-action adaptations, acknowledging that it boasts enough charm and emotional depth to captivate family audiences.

The bad

Nevertheless, many critics found the film disappointing. They often referred to it as dull, disjointed, and falling short compared to the 1937 classic’s enchantment. The CGI, lighting, and set design were frequently criticized for being low-budget or awkward, with several reviewers complaining about the “cartoonish” dwarves and the overall artificial feel. The script and storytelling were also heavily criticized as shallow, uninspired, and overly safe. Critics accused the movie of being a cynical, unnecessary remake that fails to offer a compelling reason for its existence.

Gal Gadot’s portrayal of the Evil Queen sparked mixed opinions; some viewers deemed it lackluster or even awkward. In the end, although a few found the movie bearable or acceptable, the general sentiment was underwhelmed. Many spectators believed that Disney’s modern take on the character fell short of what made the original enchanting.

Here is a selection of the negative reviews from Top Critics:

  • There’s nothing magical in Marc Webb’s movie, but it nevertheless feels uncanny; spending $250 million to make a film in which absolutely nothing works is a kind of dark art in and of itself. – Toronto Star
  • The timeless classic, a groundbreaking achievement for animation, has been turned into another pointless and awkward live-action automaton that vanishes from your mind the second it’s over. – NY Post
  • At the end of the day, the best parts of Snow White are the parts that feel genuinely real and authentic. If only there were more of those, and less screen time spent dancing in the realm of mind-breaking absurdity. – Consequence
  • Decades from now, will anyone remember what Disney was even attempting to do here? Probably not, but I’ll bet the 1937 original will still hold up. -Newsday
