The original Snow White is a perfect and timeless movie. It is still enjoyable and funny even now.

This remake is terrible. Everything is obviously fake and there is nothing magical about Snow White talking to bad CGI dwarves and animals. The changes to the story were cliche and weak.

Some strong points were when the wicked queen appeared as an old hag to give Snow White the poison apple and she fell and the apple rolled from her hand. That is a direct scene from the original. The "hag" and apple were great and the fall was great photography. But again, why is it needed? We don't need to recreate something in attempt to match it's cinematic perfection from earlier.

This was one of the first movies I've ever left the theater early. Didn't see the ending and from the reviews it sounds like it didn't make it better.

I've tried so hard lately to find good movies on Netflix or Hulu and most stuff I've seen is just crap, especially nearly all action movies. For The Takeover I thought the plot and story were good, the pace was good, and it stayed interesting from beginning to end. The acting was fine and did not distract. This was an entertaining movie with a great central actress.

The criticisms I'm skimming through are uninteresting to me. I don't care about the authenticity of "the hacking scenes." I was expecting something cringe-worthy but it never came.

It's not winning any Oscars but I found this interesting and entertaining for what it is. As long as you don't come in expecting Mad Max Fury Road you can have a nice 85 minutes. I liked it.

The first half of the movie was pretty decent, a good plot with lots of great camera work. But the story sucked and was completely unbelievable. "Card counters" don't do or act like that, casinos don't operate like that, smart kids don't act like that, casino chase scenes don't happen like that, coach/team leaders don't do that, etc. I love Vegas and gambling stories are intriguing but nothing in this movie makes sense other than for cheap cliché entertainment.
