Is Snow White 2025 Good

  • 0:00 - 0:01
    Hello down there!
  • 0:01 - 0:05
    I just finished watching the
    Snow White live-action remake.
  • 0:06 - 0:10
    And now, I'm leaving the
    parking lot on my way home.
  • 0:10 - 0:13
    I wasn't going to see
    it initially because
  • 0:13 - 0:15
    I'm beyond tired of
    live-action remakes.
  • 0:16 - 0:17
    I don't like them.
  • 0:18 - 0:20
    I do not like greens eggs and ham.
  • 0:20 - 0:25
    And the only reason I decided to
    go see this one is because
  • 0:25 - 0:28
    somehow there was a lot of
    hype for it with people saying
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    it's one of the best live-action
    remakes ever made.
  • 0:32 - 0:36
    Now that I finished it,
    I can say I disagree.
  • 0:36 - 0:39
    I apologize for the wacky
    camera angle here
  • 0:39 - 0:42
    that looks like it's filming a dick pic,
  • 0:42 - 0:47
    but I wanted to just
    give you my raw thoughts
  • 0:47 - 0:49
    immediately after seeing it.
  • 0:50 - 0:51
    I didn't really like it.
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    I know there was a lot of
    controversy with the movie.
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    Don't really know what it all was.
    I didn't pay too much attention.
  • 0:58 - 1:01
    I know the star, Rachel Zegler, apparently
  • 1:01 - 1:03
    had, like, some bad
    interviews or something
  • 1:03 - 1:08
    and Gal Gadot, people say, is, like,
    the worst actress of our generation.
  • 1:09 - 1:10
    Couldn't tell ya.
  • 1:11 - 1:14
    All I know is I didn't like the movie.
  • 1:18 - 1:22
    So setting aside the
    controversy with it,
  • 1:22 - 1:24
    was the film good in its own right?
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    Not to me, it wasn't.
  • 1:27 - 1:31
    But I'm also not the target
    demographic anymore,
  • 1:31 - 1:34
    I'm a fuckin' 30-year-old greaseball.
  • 1:34 - 1:40
    The Snow White remake, it shares a
    little bit in common with the original.
  • 1:40 - 1:43
    But it feels like it wanted
    to carve its own path.
  • 1:43 - 1:46
    It's a little bit longer
    than the original,
  • 1:46 - 1:47
    so it adds a little bit more.
  • 1:47 - 1:52
    Not a ton, but it adds things
    that nobody gives a fuck about
  • 1:52 - 1:55
    and it really feels like there
    was two different visions
  • 1:55 - 1:57
    for the film that ended up clashing.
  • 1:57 - 2:02
    So they have the seven dwarves,
    but they also have seven bandits,
  • 2:03 - 2:06
    which I don't get the point of.
  • 2:06 - 2:10
    The only bandit that matters
    is the main one, Jonathan.
  • 2:11 - 2:14
    Every other bandit, I don't
    think they even had a name.
  • 2:14 - 2:17
    There was, like, one scene where
    they said one of their names,
  • 2:17 - 2:20
    but you don't know who the
    fuck they're talking about
  • 2:20 - 2:22
    'cause they have never mentioned
    any of them by name.
  • 2:22 - 2:24
    I don't know why they're here.
  • 2:24 - 2:27
    It feels like they are
    the remnants of what
  • 2:27 - 2:29
    the original direction
    was for this remake.
  • 2:29 - 2:33
    At least that's my little fuckin' tinfoil
    condom conspiracy theory.
  • 2:33 - 2:37
    It feels like the seven bandits were
    supposed to replace the dwarves
  • 2:37 - 2:41
    but then they
    decided not to do that,
  • 2:41 - 2:43
    so now you have the seven
    bandits and the seven dwarves,
  • 2:43 - 2:46
    and it just doesn't mesh well at all.
  • 2:46 - 2:50
    Really, most of the movie I don't
    think meshes super well.
  • 2:50 - 2:52
    There's a lot of new songs in it that
  • 2:52 - 2:55
    I didn't recognize from the original
    and I thought they blew ass.
  • 2:56 - 2:58
    I, I, I just, I wasn't a fan.
  • 2:59 - 3:01
    But there was a couple
    songs that I recognized from
  • 3:01 - 3:03
    the original, and they were fine.
  • 3:03 - 3:05
    Those were kind of fun.
    Like the classic Heigh Ho,
  • 3:05 - 3:07
    that was kind of sweet.
  • 3:08 - 3:11
    Truthfully, I just don't have
    a whole lot to say about the movie
  • 3:11 - 3:15
    'cause it is absolutely just not for me.
  • 3:15 - 3:18
    Also, I feel like I'm shouting
    at the phone screen right now
  • 3:18 - 3:20
    like I got headphones on,
  • 3:20 - 3:22
    but... you know, it is what it is.
  • 3:23 - 3:27
    It's just... I don't... like, I (laughs)
    I really feel like
  • 3:28 - 3:31
    I'm at this point shaking my fist
    at the clouds.
  • 3:31 - 3:33
    I don't really... don't see...
  • 3:34 - 3:37
    why you'd ever choose to watch this
    over the original.
  • 3:37 - 3:40
    Like, it's not a "bad" movie, really...
  • 3:40 - 3:43
    Like, it's not even terrible.
    I think, there's things about it
  • 3:43 - 3:45
    that don't really work for me, personally.
  • 3:45 - 3:47
    But, but it's, again
    It's not for me
  • 3:47 - 3:49
    I'm not a 6 year old
  • 3:49 - 3:52
    But like, when I'm watching this
    and remembering the original
  • 3:52 - 3:54
    Like the poison apple in the
    original for example
  • 3:54 - 3:55
    Big deal
  • 3:55 - 3:58
    Like an actual huge
    piece of the original
  • 3:58 - 4:01
    In this one, it's nothing
  • 4:01 - 4:03
    It is beyond nothing
  • 4:03 - 4:05
    So like, the...
  • 4:06 - 4:07
    The evil...
  • 4:09 - 4:11
    So when Snow White gets the poison apple
  • 4:11 - 4:13
    By Gal Gadot
  • 4:13 - 4:16
    She takes a bite and then she gets the
    sleeping death
  • 4:16 - 4:21
    Well, she only stays sleeping dead for
    like 10 minutes
  • 4:21 - 4:23
    It, it was a sleeping snooze
  • 4:24 - 4:26
    Like she actually just took a nap because
  • 4:26 - 4:29
    she was only in that state for 2 scenes
  • 4:29 - 4:31
    And then Jonathon came up
    and gave her a kiss
  • 4:32 - 4:34
    And then she was immediately freed from it
  • 4:34 - 4:36
    So like there's never, like it doesn't
    even feel like there's
  • 4:36 - 4:38
    ever anything at stake
  • 4:38 - 4:40
    It doesn't even feel like serious
  • 4:41 - 4:44
    It just, it's crazy to say this but
  • 4:44 - 4:47
    It feels like it moves so fuckin' fast
    despite being longer than
  • 4:47 - 4:49
    Longer than the original
  • 4:49 - 4:52
    And yet offers less reasons to
    get invested
  • 4:53 - 4:54
    If that makes sense
  • 4:55 - 4:57
    Like I shit you not, she gets the fuckin'
    poison apple,
  • 4:58 - 5:02
    she falls asleep with Gal Gadot,
    laying down all the evil stuff she's done
  • 5:03 - 5:05
    The dwarfs come up and they're like
    "aw jinkies"
  • 5:05 - 5:08
    So then they hold like a fuckin' viking
    burial
  • 5:08 - 5:09
    kind of
  • 5:09 - 5:10
    they put her on a rock
  • 5:10 - 5:13
    and they're like lamenting that she's
    shed the mortal coil
  • 5:13 - 5:16
    And like it switches to another scene
    with Jonathon who
  • 5:16 - 5:19
    breaks out of the, the castle, and then he
  • 5:19 - 5:21
    immediately shows up, and they're
    still there
  • 5:21 - 5:23
    Like over her body, her corpse
  • 5:23 - 5:25
    So I think it's really only been like
    5 minutes
  • 5:25 - 5:27
    They haven't begun the funeral
  • 5:27 - 5:29
    and Jonathon shows up and kisses her,
    and she's fine
  • 5:29 - 5:33
    So like, it never really feels like
    anything's a big deal
  • 5:34 - 5:37
    So you're kinda just there to enjoy the
    music moreso than anything
  • 5:37 - 5:39
    Which I wasn't liking
  • 5:39 - 5:42
    And to be honest, while it's just me
    and you here
  • 5:43 - 5:45
    I walked out of the movie
  • 5:45 - 5:47
    And I'm kind of embarrassed to say
    that 'cause
  • 5:47 - 5:50
    I never walk out of movies, and this movie
  • 5:50 - 5:53
    like I said, isn't even like the worst
    movie I've ever seen or anything
  • 5:53 - 5:55
    It's not even the worst live-action remake
    I've seen
  • 5:56 - 5:59
    But I walked out with like the
    last 15 minutes
  • 5:59 - 6:01
    'Cause I was just so fuckin' bored
  • 6:01 - 6:05
    And I really was just, really in a,
    like a, trance
  • 6:05 - 6:06
    Like a ? state
  • 6:06 - 6:07
    And I was ready to leave
  • 6:08 - 6:10
    So I didn't, maybe the ending
    really saves it
  • 6:10 - 6:14
    Maybe the ending ties it all together
    with an absolute masterpiece
  • 6:14 - 6:15
    But I doubt it
  • 6:16 - 6:19
    Now as someone who stared in the
    Hunger Games MockingJay Part 1
  • 6:19 - 6:24
    I feel qualified to opine on acting
    performances
  • 6:24 - 6:28
    And I would say, it was, fine, overall
  • 6:28 - 6:31
    Like I, I actually think Rachel Zegler
    did a good job as Snow White
  • 6:31 - 6:35
    Like, she didn't do like anything crazy,
    it wasn't y'know,
  • 6:35 - 6:36
    some kind of Oscar worthy performance
  • 6:36 - 6:38
    But I thought it was really just, fine
  • 6:38 - 6:44
    Gal Godot, on the other hand, I do not
    think was the right choice for this role
  • 6:44 - 6:48
    It feels like she wanted to go like over
    the top and like ham it up, but
  • 6:48 - 6:50
    was a little reserved
  • 6:50 - 6:53
    Like didn't really commit to going
    crazy with it
  • 6:53 - 6:55
    And then it just kind of
  • 6:55 - 7:00
    Peters in this, really, bad purgatory
    of just being flat
  • 7:01 - 7:04
    Like she's never over the top enough
    that it becomes charming
  • 7:04 - 7:07
    and like disney villain like
  • 7:07 - 7:09
    but it's also not played seriously
    enough to the point where
  • 7:09 - 7:11
    you like take her seriously
  • 7:11 - 7:13
    so she's just kind of dull
  • 7:14 - 7:16
    And everyone else around them,
  • 7:16 - 7:18
    they don't have a big enough role
    to play for me to
  • 7:18 - 7:21
    give a fuck to even talk about their performances
  • 7:21 - 7:22
    I guess except for maybe Jonathon
  • 7:23 - 7:27
    But Jonathon, he just had to be in
    love with Snow White immediately and
  • 7:27 - 7:28
    that's kind of it
  • 7:28 - 7:32
    So he didn't really get a whole lot
    to do besides that
  • 7:33 - 7:39
    Anyway though, that's kinda my review
    of Snow White live-action 2025
  • 7:39 - 7:41
    I didn't like it very much
  • 7:41 - 7:49
    But I imagine if you're 6-years-old or
    you just really like disney live-action remakes
  • 7:49 - 7:53
    you'll probably be pretty satisfied with
    the film, I think, most likely
  • 7:54 - 7:55
    yep
  • 7:55 - 7:57
    well that's really about it
  • 7:58 - 8:01
    I'm driving right now, and I don't like
    to take my eyes of the road
  • 8:01 - 8:04
    So, when I get to the next red light,
    I'll, I'll stop the recording
  • 8:15 - 8:17
    Hopefully you're having a good day
  • 8:18 - 8:21
    My day's really alright,
    haven't done too much today
  • 8:21 - 8:23
    Except go see that movie
  • 8:24 - 8:27
    I guess I don't regret seeing it
    I guess it was worth giving it a try
  • 8:27 - 8:29
    And now I know for sure
  • 8:29 - 8:32
    Probably done with live-action remakes,
    y'know what I mean
