by Disney Live Action Snow White
“Sounds like Disney paid them to write this.”
Some people have been invited to watch an early viewing of Disney’s live-action Snow White movie to share their early reactions.
However, moviegoers aren’t biting.
The movie stars Rachel Zegler as the titular princess alongside Gal Gadot, who plays the Evil Queen – a reimaging (or “recapturing”) of the beloved 1937 animated classic.
In exchange for seeing the movie early, online critics are granted permission to share an early non-spoiler social reaction, not an actual review.
This means you can express a brief first thought-styled social post, sharing if you liked what you saw and vice versa.
However, an ongoing trend of critics invited to said events sharing positive first reactions with no real specification as to what they enjoyed has recently become a hot topic among moviegoers.
In a post highlighted by Variety, those who attended an early viewing of Snow White seemingly had nothing negative to say about the movie, which moviegoers aren’t buying.
Although the movie could become a masterpiece that millions will rave about in the coming weeks, audience members aren’t overly confident about it.
One critic praised Snow White as one of Disney’s “best live-action remakes in years,” which moviegoers and creators say is a “nothing burger” statement.
“‘One of the best live-action remakes in years.’ is not the glowing review you think it is,” one wrote in response.
“I enjoyed the musical numbers, particularly the opening one and the Queen’s evil bop. Ziegler was great in the lead role, and Gadot was fun.”
“It’s the CGI dwarves that let the film down. The choice is baffling,” early viewer Paul Klein said about the movie.
Katcy Stephan says Snow White is a “visual feast with show-stopping new musical numbers and, of course, dozens of enchanting animated animals.”
“The screenplay wisely gives its heroine newfound depth through her fervent desire to become the leader her father believed she could be and a love story that’s sweet as apple pie.”
These reactions now have fans convinced that those viewing early screenings will say nothing overly negative before release in fear of losing future invites.
“Just curious, has there ever been a Disney movie that got bad reviews before it came out?”
“I mean, I feel like it’s pretty well known that if you wanna continue to be a critic and get pre-release access, you can’t be negative,” one moviegoer theorized.
“How much did Disney pay for this?” a second added.
“Sounds like Disney paid them to write this, and they didn’t even want to write it, so they used AI,” a third jokingly chimed in.
