This remake of the classic Grimm tale, starring Julia Roberts as the evil Queen, is much darker than the well-known animated Disney version. Snow White's team of dwarves are a shady bunch, but dedicated to helping her regain her royal throne.

From the same director as "Immortals", "The Fall" and "The Cell", The Cell being one of my favorite movies. I believe this director went backward, going from really interesting to really bad. Mirror Mirror is only good in the trailer. I mean, I really loved the trailer, if was funny, witty, visually excellent. But then, what happened. I was very long, slow, predictable, Snow White irritating, but so was the queen, so it wasn't really a statement. Julia Roberts was hilarious in the trailer, but for some reason, even the phrases we laughed at in the trailer fell flat in the movie, as if by enchantment, the humor was gone.

Watch Trailer: (which is really good)
