Variety
The script is a mostly mirthless affair, littered with stray amusements but more often bogged down by strained whimsy.

Mirror Mirror
Beloved Grimm fairytale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs gets a retelling in this lavish comedy-fantasy with Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen, Lily ('daughter of Phil') Collins as Snow White, and Armie Hammer as the Prince.
After the orphaned, timid Princess Snow White wins the heart of the Prince, the Queen - consumed with jealousy - banishes her to the forest to live out her days in lonely exile. But Snow is rescued by seven rebel dwarfs. Together they fight to reclaim her Kingdom and her Prince. Directed by Tarsem Singh (Immortals).

To borrow a line Roberts spits at Collins, there's something about Mirror that's incredibly irritating. Fingers crossed Huntsman has more edge.

The New York Times
“Mirror Mirror” is consistently watchable, even when it drifts into dullness because Mr. Singh always gives you something to look at, whether it’s the Queen’s blood-red gown, the sailing clouds decorating her bedroom or the dwarfs’ woodland home.

Roger Ebert
The movie sort of boring, and there's not much energy in the two places it should really be felt: Between the Queen and Snow White, and between Snow and the Prince.

Hollywood Reporter
This is a movie drowning in flamboyant design elements and in need of a stiff shot of enchantment.

Empire Magazine
Superlative performances from Roberts and Hammer almost cover the shortcomings. Like most Tarsem films it's a muddle, but this time not one with enough distracting dazzle.

A.V. Club
Mirror Mirror is sometimes slow, and sometimes too reliant on fakey special effects, but ready to redeem itself with genuinely creative ideas, like the CGI marionette villains or Tarsem’s dark, spooky take on the magic mirror.
