Mirror Mirror (2012)

Just what I expected

Best movie of this year hands down!

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

No idea why so many negative reviews and such a low rating overall. May be because it was a year when a few versions of the story were made for the screen? Giving it ten stars to bump the undeservingly low rating (otherwise would say it's an eight).I took my daughter to see it at the theater back when it was released. Magical, beautiful, lighthearted and funny for all ages. Lovely indeed. Julia Roberts was superb, played the role with a great deal of humor... A funny take on the prince charming character, too. Just open your heart and mind - it's a fairy tale after all, let yourself be a kid for couple hours. Anyway, we both loved it. And did i mention that my daughter was 27 at the moment?

I have just one question? What was that with the ending? How did it all of a sudden turn into a musical/Bollywood film? The real-life lesson: not much to reflect on here, with the exception maybe that karma will get you and that evil can not dominate forever. Quite general this, and not shown properly. Plausibility: I don't even want to go into plausibility since this is supposed to be a fairy tale so I am not going to discuss the implausibility of obvious factors such as magic for that reason. But, I will however discuss the plausibility of falling in love with someone you see only once and twice liken the prince did with the princess. What the prince felt was not love as he says (well at least in real life) it was just a crush, he was feeling attracted to the princess because she found her beautiful and attractive. It is true in my opinion that you can become obsessed with a person that you have a crush on or think is attractive but calling it love as the prince did is just a deception. Not just the prince, real-life people too do believe that they are in love in this situations but as I said being in love takes far more. Acting: great acting from the leads. Julia Roberts was so great it made you like the villain. Lily Collins was surprisingly good too and so was Armie Hammer. Plot and storyline: The story line begins great with a plot making you question was is going to happen next but this only lasts until the middle of the movie since after that the plot falls flat and the ending can be guessed and expected. Overall, I would recommend it, it makes you laugh and is quite enjoyable.

Between animated versions, live action version, takeoffs, homages, television show, etc. of the classic Grim fairy tale it is entirely possible you've seen this version before and have just lost track. An A-list celebrity stars as the protagonist despite being the bad guy but this isn't "Maleficient". That is a separate movie, the difference being that movie involves a re-contextualization so that we see things from the antagonist's perspective although that movie isn't "Wicked". That was musical based on "The Wizard of Oz" presumably the original not the remake with James DiFranco. Basically, Hollywood is so out of ideas that it's becoming difficult to keep track and maybe you should just watch it even though you may or may not have already seen it. See enough current titles and you've seen every plot ever used in the last 10 years anyway. In short, entertaining if a whole lot derivative.

Mirror, Mirror is just pure fun!! This film is so beautiful and colorful. I adored the costumes in here, it should've won the Oscar for best costume design, it was cheated! Honestly I just had so much fun while watching this, I have to love it!! I also love how the evil queen's mirror transports her into a whole different realm, so much cooler than SWATH's magic mirror!!! I just love the visuals here, this movie never failed to keep my attention!! I plan on buying Mirror Mirror on Bluray!! Lily Collins beats the living CRAP out of Kristen Stewart for Snow White. Kristen is the most boring and life less Snow White i have ever seen. But lily Collins was so beautiful and emotional as Snow White. That is just how Snow White should be. And Julia Roberts, OMG best part of the movie, couldn't imagine a better evil queen!! I just bought her performance!! She was truly evil in this movie!! Overall I think Tarsum really knows his stuff when it comes to fairy tales!
