Snow White
Snow White is a lonely princess who lives with her stepmother — a vain and evil queen. When the latter’s magic mirror tells her that as long as Snow White is alive, she will never be the fairest of them all, she orders a Huntsman to kill her. This is the live-action version of the classic animated film… and it got a lot of hate. Deservedly? I think so!

Zegler sings beautifully — no surprise there.
The forest setting and animals are cute, as expected.
Visually, it’s stunning — just as you'd hope.
They go for a kind of Broadway-theatrical style, and just for that effort, I’ll give them some credit.

I don’t want to be harsh, but I think Gal Gadot just doesn’t have it here… Her performance is flat, emotionless, and at times unintentionally funny.
Zegler, while great vocally, acts in a very monotonous way.
Some of the CGI looks rushed and cheap.
One dance scene with the Queen felt “weird” and poorly executed.
The film brings nothing new to the table — it’s just a rehash of the exact same story.
It felt like the movie had no real “soul.”
Directing approach: basic and uninspired.
Minecraft
Four people are teleported through a magical portal into a strange cubist kingdom that thrives on imagination. To return to our world, they must figure out the rules that govern this bizarre place.
It smashed the box office, already had a built-in fanbase from the game…
But is it actually worth it as a film?
🟢🟢🟢🟢
I think fans of the genre will enjoy it, especially with all the references to the game.
It’s watchable, and at times funny and entertaining.
Jason Momoa and Jack Black are quite good in their roles, and their chemistry adds a lot to the film.
It has a fun, “playful” tone.
Jennifer Coolidge is a queen, even though her screen time is short.
Some of the set pieces are visually impressive.
Direction and editing are solid enough to keep the pacing smooth and not tiring.

The two main female characters feel underdeveloped.
The final scene (battle) was below my expectations.
The overall concept feels uninspired.
While the tone is fun in parts, at times it feels uncoordinated, which can throw you out of the experience.
The contrast between the real world and the Minecraft world isn’t strong — mostly because the real world also feels exaggerated and unreal.
The villagers were... so-so.
