With the high expectations of many, Snow White, which was a 2025 live-action remake of Snow White, turned out to be an unsatisfying reinvention of the beloved fairy tale. The film, directed by Mare Web, is thought to have some potential, yet , some parts of the film are glorious while others feel cramped and unrealistic, failing to fully capture the charm of the original story.

Disney’s Snow White is visually charming, but it doesn’t live up to expectations. There was a lot of controversy when the characters were casted, and hopefully the casting will be better presented next time.There are many areas where the movie can be improved, such as the seven dwarfs being made of computer special effects. On the big screen, they are more like a distraction than a charming whole.

Although Snow White has some touching moments and wonderful performances, it ultimately cannot escape the shadow of its controversial and animated predecessor. It is a worthwhile and occasionally magical update, but it is far from the fairy tale re-creation effect it should have achieved.

The Snow White movie was not up to the standards based on the reviews of people who have watched it. Many people thought that the movie’s unnecessary remake lacked the charm of the original movie. Some of the reasons for the criticism that the movie received were the actors who played Snow White, the bad script of the movie, the bad visuals and CGI characters.

Rachael Zegler, the actor who played Snow White, was seen as lacking asshe didn’t captivate the audience while Gal Gadot’s Evil Queen was criticized for being stiff, and failing to become the Evil Queen. Many people considered this movie to be dull and were unsatisfied with it. They were also disappointed that Disney was able to produce this live action movie when its original was more nostalgic. 

Despite Disney’s reputation and the amount of money that they spend for high quality visuals, the movie’s CGI and overall image were described as cheap, and visually unappealing. Many had high standards for this and were ultimately left disappointed. Many critics questioned the need to make a remake for Snow White because it felt even damaging to the original story. Its rating on IMDb is at 1.6/10, which is viewed as the lowest movie adaptation from Disney in recent history. Their project resulted in a loss with a gross revenue of 225 million dollars worldwide, but this fell short of expectations and is projected to result in a loss for disney when 410 million dollars was spent on the making of the live-action movie.

Many people who watched the movie and saw the interviews that Rachael Zegler’s played in saw how she changed the entirety of Snow White. In one of her interviews with her other casting members she said that she didn’t see herself as playing Snow White or not liking the character as much and sees the character as needing a man to save her but Rachael thinks that the movie didn’t need a man or a prince to come save her.
