"Mirror Mirror" by Tarsem Singh

I'm what you'd consider as your typical Sci-Fi and fantasy movie lover. So I jumped at the opportunity to watch Tarsem Singh's newest film "Mirror Mirror" with one of my comrades. After a quick run to Wal-Mart for an assortment of chocolate, chips, and 16oz. milk jugs, we were ready for the silver screen. As the introduction of the movie progressed, I nearly tore my armrests from their fastened structure. The credits along with the narration were incredible, to say the least. The animation was great and the story seemed to be off to an intriguing start. However, things slowly began to fall to shambles as the movie went on. The acting was mediocre as well as the entirety of the film. I can't describe the disappointment I felt after seeing such a mind-blowing introduction.

Upon seeing trailers before viewing the actual film, I was eagerly anticipating this movie's release. It's a fairly typical interpretation of Snow White's story. The one aspect I did enjoy the most was the exaggerative elements to the film, such as a normal bow on a dress would be the scale of the character's entire body. The costume design along with every scene's environment was eye-catching - it's too bad the acting and movie's progression had to fall short. So, props to the cinematography but that's about it. They could have made the parts with the queen more frightening and also your mood didn't change with the environment that each character was occupying.

Overall, it's worth watching the film, but I wouldn't pay money to see it in theaters, Redbox or your local movie store is a better bet.
