Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

nicoleabetts Waste of time, boring. I could have told a story that would of been more entertaining than this.-The coloring was hard on the eyes. -The special effects had promise, however they missed the mark at making it look good. -The packaging and write up on the DVD were very deceptive (in the write up it says she pierced his heart in the movie it was his eye) - it appears as if the movie starts in the middle, giving us no clue as to the beginning - he is pierced by a splinter of mirror, in the write up it says a splinter of ice -movie made us not want to read any of the authors writings in conclusion I would rate the movie with negative stars the 6.5 rating on your site was very deceiving

BatBanks Smith An another version of the Snow Queen is disappoint. The plot is thin; it should been longer. Everything is done in computer (it look too computer game-type) instead of a real outdoor and indoor setting. There too many song in every scenes with either the young girl or somebody. There is no character developed; the Snow Queen did nothing and had no dialogue; They never explains her full detail or relationship with Kay when she took him to her place. Why the actors agreed to be in the film in the first place? That was a waste of money and production, I hope they should do a better job in another adaptation of The Snow Queen soon.

escoles This is a confused and confusing adaptation, wherein stylish minimalism substitutes for story and meaningless special effects replace plot elements until the story is more or less completely gone.A key plot event, for example, entails utterly unexplained and un-anticipatable magical powers being deployed, where Andersen's original invokes more poignant and symbolically instructive natural cycles.The writers of this adaptation transform a story with powerful symbolic resonance into a bad Saturday morning cartoon.Instead of this I strongly recommend you seek out some version of the 1959 Lev Atmotov / Nikolai Fyodorov adaptation, which preserves the symbolic power of Andersen's material.

Daniel Walden The Snow Queen is one of Hans Christian Andersen's best fairy tales. However, there has only been a few adaptations of it, and most are mediocre and childish. This is no exception.The best thing about this TV special is the musical score; which is so beautiful and mystical it could have come from a classical music piece. I can't say the same for the rest.This made-for-TV special looks like it was made by a group of college film students. I'm not too sure how much of this is 'real', because it looks like every shot has been superimposed over an Adobe photo edit. Even worse, the motion capture has a weird, jerky style of action that really detracts from any 'magic'. This is proof that CGI can give authentic looking dinosaurs, and encourage some of the shoddiest special effects ever shot.The character development is so weak that neither sympathy, nor an understanding of personalities is felt. The story mainly skims and summarizes the plot of Andersen's fairy tale, giving the feel of headline news when compared to the original book.I would normally give an adaptation like this a three, but considering that this is a one hour TV special, a 'major motion picture' style cannot be expected. This gets a four.
