Mirror Mirror

This year we have been given two different versions of the Snow White legend. Mirror Mirror was released first, then Snow White and the Huntsman. I have seen both films and the two are very different from each other. Snow White and the Huntsman was a very dark retelling. However Mirror Mirror proves to be a lighter version, which will please both young and old.
Julia Roberts and Lily Collins take on the two leads in this fresh yet somewhat different take on how Snow Whites tale happened.
We are all used to Disney's original telling of the classic fairy tale, but in Mirror Mirror director Tarsem Singh adds a little twist to how the story really happened.
Mirror Mirror is told from the Evil Queens perspective. But we are more involved with how Snow White rises up and takes over the Kingdom that is rightfuly hers.
Upon finding out that the Kingdom is quickly becoming bankrupt, The Queen tries to find a Prince that is wealthy beyond means, so that she can marry him and save the Kingdom she reigns.
All the while Snow White has been locked up in the Palace, but on her 18th Birthday, she decides to find a way to get rid of the Evil Queen so that she can become the Queen that the village deserves.
Truth be told I did enjoy Mirror Mirror, I found it laging in some parts however the visionary direction and the costume design held my interest, not to mention there was plenty of Humor in this film.
Mirror Mirror reminded me alot of something that Disney would produce. Maybe it was Alan Menken's music score that gave this film the Classic disney vibe.
 All in all I did find myself liking this movie, even thought some parts were a bit cheesey but hey what movie isn't cheesey in it's own way.
