I can’t believe the online buzz is positive and everyone seems to think this is what all the remakes should look like.
Because it looks as lazy and uninspired as all the other ones. Hard pass.
My screening in Amsterdam (where the director is from) was sold out and packed with mostly middle aged women + gay men. Lots of laughs.
Interesting to see Americans embracing a film like this. It will easily outgross the director‘s previous film Bodies, bodies, bodies.
And yeah, Nicole makes the movie. Fantastic performance.
I find both of them kind of trash to be honest. It’s very much an Amber versus Johnny kind of thing where both just kind of make you sick.
I don’t care if either ever makes another movie or not.
This number is primarily a testament to the enduring popularity of the original all around the world. Kids go bonkers for Moana. It has slowly crept its way up Frozen’s level of popularity.
Hopefully the inevitable third film will receive a better treatment by Disney than this rehashed DTV approach.
Speaking as a European, the original is not remembered as some kind of classic that was running on tv a lot. Especially compared to other disaster movies from that era like Armageddon.
On top of that, nobody knows who Glenn Powell is. This movie was designed purely for an American audience.
And I wasn’t saying they should do that. I just said Warner would have done that. As they have with several films that were nearly complete or even fully wrapped.
I personally think Snow White is one of those films Disney should never have remade. But here we are and now I just hope they release something that doesn’t suck.
