A Good Escape Film, April 18 2012

This review is from: NEW Grimm's Snow White (DVD) (DVD)
"Snow White" has always been my absolute favorite of the Grimm Brothers fairy tales. I watch any adaptation of this tale I can get my hands on. This version strays from the original in many ways, but the plot is epic and entertaining.Two lands exist side by side in perfect harmony. A kind king and his queen rule the first, and Prince Alexander governs the second. Peace is maintained through a mystical source known as the Viridian Flame. However, even in lands of peace, corruption can be born. Queen Gwendolyn, (Eliza Bennett), desires to take possession of the Viridian Flame and use it to gain power over both kingdoms. In order to do this, she craftily orchestrates events that will result in the death of her husband.
In Alexander's kingdom, the infection of evil threatens to violate and destroy his subjects. The Viridian Flame rests on his land, but death and deception is causing it to grow weaker every day. Unaware that Queen Gwendolyn is behind the evil, Alexander desires to marry her so that both kingdoms can be united. Gwendolyn's stepdaughter, Snow White, returns from her life in a convent. When Prince Alexander meets the princess, he falls in love. The queen's jealousy drives her to seek to destroy her stepdaughter. Will Gwendolyn acquire the flame for her own evil uses? Will her seductive charms bring ruination to Prince Alexander? Who will be the hero in this delightful film?
I know I am in the minority here, but I thought the story was wonderfully presented. Being a blind individual, I cannot comment on the visual effects. However, I loved the plot and characters. The movie is not meant to be deep. "Grimm's Snow White" is a classic tale for those who enjoy good versus evil stories. Purists will not enjoy this, but if you keep an open mind, you might find that the movie is fun. Eliza Bennett was particularly wonderful as Queen Gwendolyn, and it was nice to see a younger woman playing the villainness. Her portrayal of the queen truly embodied the seductive allure of evil.
I also thought it was interesting having elves featured in the story. They gave the movie an otherworldly feel. My favorite character is Isabella, an elf who embarks upon a journey of self-discovery. She must face her fears and determine where her loyalties truly lie.
Please give this film a chance. God bless you all.

This could have been a really good movie, Mar 17 2012

This review is from: Grimm's Snow White (Blu-ray) (Blu-ray)
I'm sorry, this isn't even worth a rental. It could have been a really good movie with good direction and actors. The acting on this was horrible. Don't bother, you're not missing anything.

Not for kids and too lame for adults, Mar 17 2012
By MAD - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Grimm's Snow White (Blu-ray) (Blu-ray)
We rented this tonight from Redbox because our son picked it out. Turns out this is a "B" rate movie. I cannot figure out who the audience is for. The story is geared for adults but the effects are so bad, that what adult would want to watch. But, really just wanted other to know this is not for kids. MAD
Listmania!
