Those who attended the early screening of the Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot starrer, have praised the film, calling it one of Disney’s “best live-action remakes” in decades. Lead actress Zegler’s performance as the beloved princess has seemingly enchanted audiences with her performance and musical numbers.Despite initial scepticism, many critics have been pleasantly surprised with the film and its new story. One reviewer described the film as “one of Disney’s best live-action remakes in years,” noting that it successfully “recaptures the magic of the 1937 movie.” Zegler’s performance was widely praised, with one viewer declaring, “Zegler IS Snow White, and she delivers such a magical performance. The musical numbers are unforgettable, the visuals (not the uncanny dwarves) are enchanting, and Erin Cressida Wilson’s screenplay provides depth to this world that I didn’t know was needed.”Another added, “Rachel Zegler was born to play a princess. Her voice is unreal, and her screen presence is unmatched. This #SnowWhite is gonna be next level.”Others highlighted the film’s emotional impact, with one review stating, “Despite the bob being all over the place, #SnowWhite is quite charming! The message lands well, the critters are adorable, and Rachel Zegler and her enchanting voice are stunning. It almost got a full tear out of me, and I’ve never cried in my entire life.”Still another added, “”I was pleasantly surprised by Disney’s live-action ‘Snow White!’ The classic magic can easily be found in the reimagining. The new songs are vibrant, catchy and breathe new life into the timeless tale. It’s most definitely one of the better Disney live-action remakes.”However, some elements of the adaptation have received mixed reactions, particularly the CGI depiction of the dwarfs, with one reviewer calling the choice “baffling.” The review read, “I may regret saying this but #SnowWhite is solid. I really enjoyed the musical numbers, particularly the opening one and the Queen’s evil bop. Zegler was great in the lead role, and Gadot was fun. It’s really the CGI dwarves that let the film down. The choice is baffling.””Listen, I was worried, but let me tell you Snow White is PURE DISNEY MAGIC! This will end up being a lot of people’s favorite live-action remake,” declared another.Amid the discussions surrounding the film, the overall response from early screenings suggests that Snow White could be a hit at the box office that had taken a beating this year.
