Fairy tales that were once brought to us by Disney's animation, with all its colourfulness and cheer, is going through a drastic makeover in the present.Last year we had a dark remake of Red Riding Hood,this year theres a grim reboot of Snow White (Snow White & The Huntsman).In the midst of all this comes Mirror Mirror ,which is a remake on Snow White.
Before watching Mirror Mirror, you must know that its not for everyone.Its wierd,wacky and just strange.Its a movie that seems to be made scene for scene from an animated movie.Its that fantastical.Initially the movie is so out of this world that you may just want to stop watching it,but the more you see, the more accustomed you get with the movie's nature.
Lily Collins & Julia Roberts are the main actors in the movie.Though Julia Roberts goes over the top most of the time ,Lily Collins manages to smile her way through the whole duration of the movie.Armie Hammer gives an ok performance.The supporting cast were all okay.
Story is the same old Snow White story ,but its still very different.At times its the exact version but towards the end its completely different.
Tarsem ,known for his visual looks of his movies (such as Immortals) ,shows off his colourful setting for Mirror Mirror.The movie seems to have popped right out of a fairy tale book.At times its wierd ,but yet the movie manages to grow on you.Even though the movie is a bit grim ,its presented quite comically.
Overall ,the movie isnt for the serious audience or those who expect to see the word for word remake of the fairy tale.Mirror Mirror can be enjoyed by kids and for those who love wacky movies.
