Part 6/9:
The portrayal of the Huntsman, once a menacing figure in the original, has been radically altered in this adaptation. He lacks both the presence and menace that characterized him in the past, instead appearing stiff and unconvincing, further diluting the film's tension.
Unfortunate Performances and Production Choices
Despite the film's numerous faults, Zegler’s vocal performances receive some accolades. Her singing aligns well with the expectations of a Disney princess, demonstrating that she was likely cast for her musical talent. Conversely, Gal Gadot's portrayal of the evil queen leaves much to be desired, lacking depth and conviction in her role. The prosthetics used for her elderly transformation added a layer of realism, mumbling to the potential that was otherwise squandered.
