Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)


Starring:  Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron

"In a twist to the fairy tale, the Huntsman ordered to take Snow White into the woods to be killed winds up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen." IMDB


I wanted to see this for two reasons: One, it looked better then Mirror Mirror. And two, I'm a  sucker for the dark side of the princess' tales. I have to say for the most part I was pleased with the film.

The biggest disappointment was Kristen Stewart's acting, she being the main character was upstaged by the evil queen, Thor and even her seven little dwarves. Having been injured and on the verge of death in her previous flims one would think that she would have learned to make it convincing by now. If she had been a bit better or they had found a better actress to play Snow White this film would have been one of my favorites of the year. 

Everyone knows the story of Snow White so there wasn't much suspense to the story line, but the changes that were made created a whole new tale. And the adding of the underline love story was the prefect touch, who says every princess has to end up with a prince.

If you can block out the fail acting in this film it could be one of your favorites of the year.

  1. I'm with you on this one but my disappointment in Kristen was with her acting so much as her ticks which sometimes I think she isn't aware of and then I remember watching Messengers and never spotting a single one. You know I'm a true Twilight fan and a Kristen fan for that matter but my favorite Kristen movie is still 'Messengers' she was simply great in that one!

  2. I have to agree with you on the Messengers. But I'm not a fan of Twilight or really of Kristen's. I have seen the movies and read the books, just can't get over the whole sparkly vampire thing.
