After reviewing the original movie, this is a blockbuster version of the Snow White which is told in a twisty fairy tale. Snow White And The Huntsman is not really a Snow White movie in general where we see happiness, singing, good side always win, and so on. In this alternative version, Snow White is told with a grim tale and characters that are not stereotyped with the original story.This version of Snow White attracts more attention for adult audiences. The story which presented isn't much different from the original version though it still has the same premise about Snow White, the queen, the magic mirror, the dwarfs, and the Huntsman.Snow White in this movie is described as a tough warrior girl that doesn't look like in the original movie. For me, this is more like a social degree where women can be ahead of men. The imperial background described focuses more on the social issue as well as the reality and fiction, there is no happiness there. Everything is only threatened and dominated by one person only.The huntsman character doesn't look like the original, where the animated version does not focus too much on this character. In this film, the director wants to communicate that love doesn't see from the class or whatever it is because the fact that love is blind and no one knows what is inside us if we fall in love.Speaking of the actresses and actors, I think the critics are more appreciative of Charlize Theron's smooth acting in this movie. Her acting at Mad Max: Fury Road is arguably the best in my opinion even though this movie hasn't existed after 3 years. Her acting is good but the scenario for her character is bad and I don't like it. But, I'm also paying attention to her.Kristen Stewart is like all the other movies that she starring, showing no emotion at all in the emotion of revenge, sadness, fear, and happiness, it's just a poker face for her. Chris Hemsworth is pretty good in this movie although his Thor character is not lost here he failed to get everything. He didn't show his character so much that he didn't put too much hope for the script even though the movie itself was about "the Huntsman."Sometimes, this movie looks like a Tim Burton's in general that displays a dark and beautiful setting at the same time. For the action scene, not too much presented either at the beginning or at the end of the movie. The pace is bad which made it all feels boring at the beginning such as a Snow White rescue scene that's too long, a plot holes from some of the unresolved characters as to why Snow White's mother died, and there are so many scenes that waste time, for example, the troll scene and the village raids which I don't think are so meaningful.The ending is not very clear even a small information after what happens because it just goes that way. It could be, there is something to be carried by the director as well but to no avail. But I was never bored to see all the beauty of the fantasy world created by Rupert Sanders and the music from James Newton and Howard that supported the whole scene.Snow White And The Huntsman is not as bad as critics think. For me, there are still many weaknesses in this film such as the character is not too expanded, the scenario is bad for the characters, the plot holes and the scene is still anti-climactic, and I think some need to be removed. The pace is a bit slow making some people leave the cinema.In conclusion, I love the world made by the director which is a little charming to look at.

I'm fantasy movie lover and I must admit that it's really hard to find pure fantasy movies able to take you to a completely different reality. The atmosphere is rather dark but definitely more realistic than the original snow white story. I totally love the performance of the three main characters who are incredibly convincing in their acting. While watching this movie, you will be totally absorbed by the story: a must watch for fantasy lovers!

I was somewhat surprised by the reviews, and felt they needed some balance. The look is stunning, and Charlize Theron is amazing; she gives such depth to the character. The film is beautiful to look at and the special effects never let you down. Not without flaws, Kristen Steward is admittedly a bit wooden at times, and doesn't exactly balance out the action parts with the empathy and love the character really needs at times. Sometimes the other characters don't have enough time to capture your interest and affection but they are small quibbles. One or two bits could have been done better, but this is hardly a second rate film as many reviewers who have you believe. On the whole the film is well paced with some emotion, and as I say, Ms Theron is totally superb and the film is worth watching just for her and her character alone. Chris Hemsworth binds the action together with an understated performance that doesn't distract from the two lady antagonists. Do watch the film, get the popcorn and the nibbles in, relax and enjoy a good fantasy film - ignore the critics they are plain wrong.

So,no surprises here,we are watching Snow White,right?Well,guess again!!King Nobody falls in love with a blonde woman who kills him on their wedding bed right on the next scene.She turns out to be Snow white's bad mother in law who is also a witch!!It appears she created a black iron glass army in order to trick herself in the kingdom.After she kills the king,walks like nothing has happened through the entire castle,opens the gate and lets another army inside to kill everyone,without being noticed by absolutely no one.How convenient!She also has a brother who looks like a product of inbreeding.She keeps consuming young girls in order to stay young and only when she starts getting affected by her overuse of magic does the mirror tell her that all that is happening because snow white turned 18.After that we have some run and chase moments and the introduction of a now wifeless drunken huntsman.From then on things do get a little better,we have some excellent visual effects and you actually start remembering that this is a fairy tale....But it does not last long.The dark forest is scary only because of some dark gas coming from mushroom like plants,so people basically get high and hallucinate.Trolls come out of nowhere only to disappear after they get tamed by a very indifferent snow white....Then the eye candy carnival begins...Butterfly flowers,animals,plants and trees all going a bit Tolkien-like,fairies and a huge male deer that blows up into hundreds of butterflies.Of course we also have dwarfs but who cares with all that visual overload?Prince William disappears from the beginning of the movie only to appear again later,trying to save his old love.But in the way his character is displayed it's like he never came back.Snow white eats the poisoned apple and dies.Prince William gives her a kiss but nothing happens.After they manage to get her to duke's castle and after a cringy monologue by the again drunken huntsman,he kisses her too.She wakes up after a while,with him being absent from the scene so we really have to love story here.Then,all of a sudden,Snow white gets all fired up and after a very long,awkward and cringy uninspiring speech,becomes a sweet little warlord and gets people killed just because the film has to move on somehow.The visual effects is all that matters here in eye-candy kingdom!Acting,even by Theron is disappointing,battle scenes straight out of Xena and character development and dialogue are both lacking and tiring.What you get here is a very generic movie with nothing more to offer to the viewer than just a way to kill a couple of hours if you have nothing else to do.This is what happens when Hollywood,which is all out of original ideas,tries to milk some old projects,aiming on the nostalgia of adults from their childhood's favorite stories and cartoons,but fails miserably.And it fails because apparently they do not understand the rules.You don't take one of the most popular fairy tales and turn it into a mindless battle movie with ridiculous lines and shallow characters,stripping all the beauty from it....or you do,trying to make more money and everyone hates you for it.WELL DONE!
