I was more-or-less on board until the last act! Really I was much more bothered by failures of story sense than logistical sense; closing out the battle scene with the mirror still there and Snow White looking into it was just... wrong. If you don't have a resolution for your big evil mcguffin, at least don't draw attention to it still being there, being all ominous. It cast a really weird pall over the victory. Maybe the sequel will involve her being tempted by its power, or something? In general the last fight scene between them, with them scrabbling on the floor and the glass monster keeping the other charcters busy in the hallway, just felt like a half-assed "and then the movie's over, I guess."
(why does she even HAVE glass monsters? When I saw them in the trailers I assume it was mirror-related, but.... nope.)
