I went into this film with cautious optimism, hoping Disney would finally nail one of their live-action remakes. Unfortunately, Snow White missed the mark—badly. Let’s start with Gal Gadot. While technically on pitch, her singing lacked vocal power and emotional depth. It's obvious she doesn't have a background in musical theater, and it shows. Her performance as the Evil Queen felt cheesy and hollow, like she was cosplaying the role instead of inhabiting it. I’m glad she had fun, truly—but fun doesn’t equal quality, and this role demanded more than what she delivered. Rachel Zegler, on the other hand, was easily the best part of the movie. She brought grace, talent, and presence to the role of Snow White. Unfortunately, the songs she was given didn’t showcase the full range of her powerhouse voice or acting ability. It felt like Disney clipped her wings with bland, uninspired musical numbers. The film failed her, not the other way around. Now, let’s talk about the dwarves—because what were they thinking? They cast only one actor with dwarfism (for grumpy) and still used CGI versions for all 7 of the dwarves that looked ridiculous and cartoonish. This is supposed to be a live-action adaptation, not a half-baked animation hybrid. I truly wish they would have taken the dwarven characters more seriously and did a full list of actors with dwarfism for all 7. Then, if they were to use CGI do minimal work on them and keep them as realistic as possible. Just saying, Peter Dinklage would have been AMAZING as Any of the dwarves and would have brought so much depth to any character he played (as he always does.) We’ve seen how good CGI can look—How to Train Your Dragon gave us dragons that felt real enough to touch. Disney, with all its resources, chose instead to lean into caricature and stereotype. It’s not just tone-deaf—it’s lazy. At the end of the day, this remake feels like a cash grab rather than a genuine attempt to reimagine a beloved classic. There was so much potential to do better: better casting, better writing, better representation, better everything. But they didn’t try. And honestly? If they weren’t going to take the story seriously, they shouldn’t have bothered remaking it at all.

It was fucking perfect! Just perfect, perfect casting, perfect everything. I loved it so much! Ya'll fucking Delivered! ❤️ Also, Gerard is hot as ever 😍
