ThiefHott Too much of everything

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

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.

vcrabjohns Starting from the beginning I wasn't sure if I could actually sit through the entire film. The special effects were bad, the dialogue was worse. The film failed to capture my attention. The plot, while probably better in other versions, did not come through properly. The acting needs works. The scenes looked like something I would see in a high school play and the green screen wasn't any better. The songs were, for the most part, unnecessary and didn't add anything to the film.I would advise people, of all ages, to avoid this film. There are so many more things you can do with an hour.

thecrookes We thought it was smashing! The style was apt. The atmosphere mystical. A work of creative genius. A modern reworking with a message that is still relevant. I,m surprised to read comments that decry this work as a television special when it is clearly a piece of work that stands on its own and needs no justification from me as to its existence.A charming tale.I think you need to watch out for this guy Gibbs as a director as he has vision, imagination and creativity and should not be buried under a weight of ill informed criticism, which hangs like an albatross around the necks of so many burgeoning British film directors with talent!

sunnysusan12 I really wanted to like this movie, especially when I saw that Patrick Stewart was in the cast as the voice of the raven since I'm a long-time Patrick Stewart fan. I realize I'm a snob when it comes to "The Snow Queen." This was one of my all-time favorite children's stories. I also realize that anytime you read a story and create your own image of things, a movie will have a hard time living up to your creation. That being said, I really enjoyed "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe" but, alas, I cannot say the same for this movie.The CG effects were cool but distractingly obvious. It was sort of like watching somebody's first attempt at a video production using CG. Gerda's mother was played by an actress (Juliet Stevenson) I had seen before but couldn't remember where. To give a gauge as to how emotionally engaging the movie was, I spent most of the movie trying to figure out where I had seen her before.I would say that, for young children not familiar with the original story, this would be a good 'pop it in the VCR for an hour so I can get some cleaning done' movie. But if it wins any awards, I'd be shocked.
