Movie Reviews of The Snow Queen
Movie Review: A Truly Magical Movie...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful movie that is maybe not suited for any kids under 10 years old. I think anyone under 10 may not understand the morals or the underlying messages presented in the story. I wasn't sure if I should buy this movie, I had never seen it but my best friend reccommended it to me so I followed through with her advice. The romances going on in the movie are fantastic and yeah the younger actors aren't going to be as great as Bridget Fonda but they're pretty damn good. I loved the ending, I wish they would have expanded more on the snow queen at the end. I love the way the snow queen is portrayed, she's wicked sometimes but she has a heart too. The special effects are amazing, and the costumes are fabulous!
What I didn't like about this movie:
*The 'devil' scene when satan is making the mirror. It makes no sense and should be removed, why would the devil make something and the season's accept it? The movie has more of a Pagan/Earthy feel to it and they should have just went with that.
*The corny song they have for Kai and Gerda's theme, it's got a really bad pop sound.
*The end leaves too much to the imagination for the snow queen, and I was expecting a lot more skating of just Kai and Gerda at the end since they had a huge scene in the beginning of them skating. Would have been a much better way to end it.
Overall, the good parts of the movie outweigh the bad, this has become one of my favorite movies of all time! If you love fairy tales, see and buy this movie!
Movie Review: The Things We Do For Love....
Summary: 5 Stars
Gerda is our beautiful, but unhappy heroine. Her mother died in a freak winter storm when she was a young girl and her father has become a cold and distant stranger. Then her father hires a new bellboy to work at his hotel. Kai is full of life and fun and Gerda is quickly drawn to him. Kai teaches Gerda how to skate, how to laugh,and even how to live. Their friendship turns into a strong first love...but it is short lived.A lovely, but cold woman mysteriously turns up at the hotel, even though a winter storm has closed most roads. She is gone the next morning...and so is Kai. Everyone believes that Kai is dead, but Gerda suspects that that is far from the truth.
Gerda, on the slim chance that Kai is out there somewhere and needs her, sets off on a quest to find her one and only true love. Her journey takes her through mysterious lands where she encounters strange and wonderful people and faces many dangers. But finding Kai is only her first problem...
Lovely and romantic movie! It does justice to the well loved classic fairy tale. Don't miss it.
Movie Review: Romantic and dark, A very pleasing tale
Summary: 5 Stars
I find that epic movies whether Hallmark or any kind sometimes end up being too cute or boring or just over the top for no reason.The Snow Queen was none of these things, starting out as a simple romance between two teens entering adulthood, (she's 17 he's 18) it slowly moves into the magical realms of the seasons as the main character, Gerda, attempts to save her first and only true love from the Snow Queen. The scenery is very lush and beautiful but the thing that truly makes this a fine epic movie is the acting, which is superb. All the characters hold their own weight and I would reccomend this movie to anyone who enjoys an engrossing tale which deals with temptaion, love, and loss, although I agree with the other poster who considers this for the 8 and up set, some of the darker themes may be a little ovewhelming for those younger then eight.Movie Review: Wonderful! A must for a fairy tale lover! A++++

This is a wonderful movie! I have read the original story by hans christen anderson and I love how hallmark interpreted this story, making some changes, but good ones. The scenery is gorgeous. The acting is A++. The costumes were incredible. It makes a lot more sense to have the romance between two teenagers instead of children, like in the book. Not that the book isn't good, but I actually prefer the hallmark movie to the book. If you love fairy tales, fantasy, or (like me) BOTH, this is a must have for your collection. I bought this without seeing it first and took a chance, but it is one I do NOT regret. I love this movie and highly recommend it. It is so sweet. The romance between Gerda and Kai is truly heart-warming. The ending is perfect. Take a chance with this one, you won't regret it. :-)Movie Review: Amazing, heart warming movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie, laced with good ethics and morals. It is a wonderful story about enduring, being faithful and hopeful, and emphasizes the importance of love between families and couples. It also puts importance back into kissing by reminding us of how important a kiss actually is. I would personally recommend this movie to anyone, as it is one of my favorites. But even if it wasn't, I would have to admit that this was a wonderful family story focusing a lot on being a faithful couple, loving your family, and never giving up hope.
This is also a film that did the best they could with their budget, but I believe that it came out quite nicely despite. :D I am greatly impressed with this movie.
