It seems that the supporters of the original “Snow White” movie might not be too pleased with this development. The remake starring Rachel Zegler, which was released by Disney today, received ratings on Rotten Tomatoes that were much less favorable than the positive buzz it had been receiving on social media only a few days ago.
The ban has been lifted, and now it’s clear: Disney’s live-action Snow White has received a rotten rating on Rotten Tomatoes, amounting to a disappointing 49%. This is quite a harsh reality check, particularly when we consider the studio’s strategically managed early social media responses that strangely proclaimed the film as a “renewed triumph” for Disney and hailed Rachel Zegler as a “shooting star”.
This significant decrease in positive responses underscores the reason Disney decided to postpone lifting the review restrictions until only a day before premiere. The studio anticipated that genuine reviews would present a much less favorable image than the early, biased accolades given by selected influencers and pro-Disney media outlets.
The Critics Speak: No Magic Here
Here’s just a sampling of what critics on Rotten Tomatoes had to say about Snow White.
As a movie enthusiast myself, I was quite optimistic about the latest take on *Snow White*. However, instead of lifting my spirits, this goofy reboot left me drowsy and in a foul mood.
DarkSkyLady, Nerdist Review: The production of ‘Snow White’ is lacking in memorable tunes, unremarkable dance moves, and falls short on delivering consistent humor. It struggles to find and hold onto its identity.
Joonatan Itkonen from Toisto.net comments: “This movie appears to avoid taking chances and doesn’t even seem to recognize the existence of risk. The end product is a confusing mix of subpar CGI, forced new tunes, and a storyline that’s overflowing with plot twists but lacking in depth.
Abe Friedtanzer, Award Buzz Review: “This modern take on a familiar tale seems to be lacking in originality. It appears to have been adapted from an established script with minimal inventiveness and richness.
Even Positive Reviews Are Barely Positive
It might be more revealing to note that even the favorable opinions seem somewhat tepid. Most of them essentially say, “Well, it’s certainly not the WORST experience I’ve had…
Here are some of the Fresh rated “positive” reviews on Rotten Tomatoes for Snow White:
Bob Chipman, from Moviebob Central, describes it as a delightful yet subtle adaptation. At its peak moments, it evokes the same appeal as a skillfully arranged parade in a theme park (perhaps something like a Disney ice show?)
Tania Lamb, Lola Lambchops:
“Good enough for kids.”
Travis Hopson, from Punch Drunk Critics, said it’s neither the most beautiful nor the worst, leaning more towards the benign.
Cain Noble-Davies, FILMINK:
“It isn’t great, it isn’t terrible, it’s just… fair.”
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
These supposedly positive comments don’t really sound enthusiastic at all; they seem more like mild compliments, the kind you’d give when you’re trying to find something nice to say about a mediocre product. It’s similar to going to see your friend in a poor play and saying, “Well, that was… interesting!
The Hype vs. Reality Gap
The reviews for the movie “Snow White” on Rotten Tomatoes are quite different from the overly enthusiastic appraisals made by early social media critics who lavished praise on Zegler’s performance, hyping the film as a grand comeback. Now that the review restrictions have been lifted, it appears these initial responses were more about gaining access and maintaining a positive image than providing genuine criticism.
It seems clear that Disney strategically delayed the release of negative reviews for their film, understanding this tactic would secure ticket sales before a wave of genuine criticisms could reach the public. However, with Snow White receiving a rating of 49%, it appears the veil of perfection they aimed to project has fallen apart.
The difference between the two groups is striking: some popular social media personalities are praising this movie as an immediate masterpiece, while experienced critics are noting its weak narrative, dull visuals, and absence of original ideas.
The question arises: Will viewers opt for Disney’s offerings or rely on reviews to unveil the truth? Predictions suggest that Rachel Zegler could indeed validate the positive buzz and become a genuine supernova, a term meaning a spectacularly bright celestial event when a star explodes.
