Mirror, Mirror... in my opinion, a not recommended movie!

This movie it's like a remake of the classical movie “Snow White”, but not in a entire way.  I mean, in the traditional version of the story. In that point, this film starts and develops weird, because you always think in the old version but has some new things that, in my case, doesn´t really match with the idea or concept of Snow White.

However. the truth is this movie has a great cast. One of their stars is Julia Roberts, a incredible and famous actress. Lily Collins plays Snow White, the main character. She's young but  achieved fame for some movies like "The blind side" in 2009. The name of the director is Tarsem Singh. Another movie known of him is “The cell” with Jeniffer López.

Well, I saw this movie about a few months ago, like May in  a cinema. Me and my friend, bought the ticket of this movie because we had to make time and was the only film that the cinema were giving in that moment. At that moment, I had no problem with seeing this movie. Actually  I thought, ok, not think it's bad ... I see some good actors, the plot is sure to be funny ... ok, let's go.

So we went into the room, waiting for the start. I think at the first 30 minutes I was ok, with expectation for how the plots were going to be. As when she was going to meet with the 7 dwarfs, if the prince fall in love with the wicked queen, if he had a sad ending or something no one would expect. A lot of expectations for the movie how you can see.

But nothing of that happened in this film! It was so boring! Really, for me, this movie lasted years and years. Almost, my friend falls asleep in my arms! It was really bad.

I think the plot is very slow and without much emotion in their scenes. Clearly, in many parts one knows what will happen because it's a familiar story, but new that could add that it was too much, I could not make you feel an emotion or intrigue, or simply one that was not hit with the rest of the film.

I know the movie is aimed at young children but I have seen another movies for this segment, and they aren´t like this! They have a lot more action and movement!

At only different thing that I remember and maybe caused some impact or novelty, was when Snow White fights with a really strange dragon bird that wanted to kill her, and inside this “animal” was the soul of her father. I I think that might be a good change or addition to the plot but still for me wasn’t entirely convinced or create a good story. For me, Snow White was still a strange and poorly arranged.

I think that obviously, I didn't like the movie, practically in nothing. I think a little girl who is her first time for seeing and known about the story of  Snow White, maybe likes this movie and  can find out more good elements and scenes than me.

Anyway, I saw all the movie and I made my wait more “entertaining” that day, but my friend weren't very happy with our choice of movie. He just told me: we could have eaten an ice cream and be more happiest and keep us awake!
