Popcornmeter for "Snow White" at Rotten Tomatoes is holding steady at 74%, which is a far more accurate reflection of the quality of it than anything the trollsphere is currently vomiting up.

Honestly I think all reviews and ratings are compromised at this point. I'm just providing data but I agree that people should still watch what they want and make their own decisions. Taste is subjective. Trust no one. Even verified professional critics on RT get benefits from studios that they don't want to screw up which is why most of the pre release reviews were positive.
My daughter has no interest in seeing this so I won't be seeing it. But I still haven't seen many good Disney movies in the past 5 years. Mufasa was terrible. Little Mermaid remake was terrible. Jungle Cruise was terrible. Cruella was terrible. Raya was terrible. Mulan was terrible. Maleficient was terrible. Lion King remake was terrible. I definitely didn't like the Aladdin remake as much as you, I'd call it average. Dumbo was terrible. I thought Encanto was pretty good. But the recent track record doesn't make me want to watch much of what they have been doing.
Pixar has been better. I haven't seen Elemental or Lightyear but I've seen the rest of the stuff they've done in the past 5 years and enjoyed them.
Star Wars has been awful as a life long fan. I enjoyed Skeleton Crew but that's about it. I haven't watched Andor yet but maybe I'll give that shot.
The only Marvel I've watched in the past five years is the Daredevil Born Again series which has been mostly good.
