In America, Sean Bean dies at end of movie

[seriousfic]

In Mirror Mirror, Sean Bean come back to life at end of movie! And it's almost worth the price of admission to see him trying to figure out what the hell he's doing here during the ending Bollywood dance number. "Isn't... isn't someone going to cut my head off?"

Largely forgettable attempt at redoing George of the Jungle's metawacky children's entertainment in a way that seems to run out of ideas after Julia Roberts narrates the animated sequence from Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows. After that, they drop the whole idea of the Evil Queen doing The True Story Of The Three Little Pigs and just kinda wing it.

Am I alone in thinking that this and Snow White & The Huntsman are both stupid, but on two different levels? Kristin Stewart as a badass knight leading an armed rebellion along with a bunch of British character actors playing dwarves... think about it. That's dumb. Mirror Mirror casts actual, you know, dwarves to play the dwarves and is aimed at kids. Fairy tales for children? What a stupid idea! CHARLIZE THERON HAND-BRA!


If there's a guy in the room, that's not milk...

Sean Bean lived at the end of Silent Hill too. Though the ending suggests that he'll be haunted the rest of his life.

I'm into Snow White & The Huntsman for a sweaty, dirty Chris Hemsworth. The admission price for this has long since been justified.

Oh god, Mirror Mirror was awful. It tried way too hard. That Bollywood thing at the end was the final straw!
