I know the criticisms are endless.....the anti-woke crusaders----among whom I normally count myself----are relentless and obsessive in their "death by a thousand cuts" reviews.....mainstream critics aren't exactly enthralled with it.....and the Rachel Zegler lynch-mob has been salivating for months at the prospect of her falling flat on her face. We'll, having seen it twice, once in IMAX, all I can say is that this film is a delight to the imagination, and the eyes and ears. Zegler is a lovely and gifted young woman. The dwarfs were great: I'm not sure why critic's and everyone else alike were so offended by the CGI dwarfs----after the endless exposure to CGI now for what, 40 years practically, I couldn't understand the frothing at the mouth over the dwarfs. Yes, it was a bit updated-----but so what? Have you seen the 1937 animated classic lately? I couldn't sit through a slavishly faithful carbon copy of it-----unless I wanted the helium-voiced version of Snow White again. Nor did I want the Kristin Stewart "update", which I rather enjoyed but which paled in comparison to this current one.
I know I'm in a minority, but it was a family-friendly delight, and I find it regrettable when we're all expected to be in either lock-step devotion to or revulsion at a film or actor due the woke meter in use at the moment. If you want an enjoyable couple hours escapist fare that tells a good simple tale of good and evil, then take a chance on Snow White.
