View MoreMovie Review: "Snow White and the Huntsman" (2012)Universal Studios, indulging on an exclusive distribution deal with Roth Films, led by New-York-City based producer Joe Roth, who commissioned a re-interpretation of the 1812 published fairy tale compilation of German-folklore-rooted writing "Brother Grimm", when screenwriter Evan Daughtery & Hossein Amini grooming a script for director John Lee Hancock, known for directing "The Blind Side" starring Sandra Bullock, to then again all-around industry surprises given the direction to feature debutante Rupert Sanders, convincing producer Roth as Universal executives with a well-executed as visually-stunning, feature pre-visualized short film to be given an high-end presumingly minimum of a 170-Million-Dollar production budget, two feminine-striking Hollywood stars with Charlize Theron as Evil step-mother Ravenna and Kirsten Stewart as cell-hidden and tortured Snow White, battling in major league décor designed by production design Dominic Watkins, to the death.Cinematography under Greig fraser's orchestration had been the chance to be awe-striking brilliant, but then with still-keeping-up to industrial possibilities searching first-time director Rupert Sanders becomes the coverage for "Snow White and the Huntsman" industry close-to-television standards, which tend to convince only through impossible-strong as expensive visual effects supervised by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, known for learning his craft on the production for "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" (2006), when a further joyful ensemble cast led by supporting character "The Huntsman", performed by another-heroic-act pushing actor Chris Hemsworth, alongside an amazingly entertaining group of dwarves, digitally-shrunk performers surrounding actor Ian McShane, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, Ray Winstone and Bob Hopkins (1942-2012) as Muir in his final performance.Leading actress Kirsten Stewart left in still-recovering moods from endless production cycles of the "Twilight" movie series somewhere between early 2008 and mid-2012 re-shoots, when the actress plays for the camera with haunting green eyes and white skin; nevertheless to much left alone by technically-overthrowns director Rupert Sanders to be of conviction in final confrontations with Charlize Theron's out-for-blood as overly-raging performance as Ravenna, stealing every single scene, she performs in to further at least lavishingly-accomplished Academy-Award-nominated costume design by Colleen Atwood, who won her first Oscar for designing all wardrobe in favors of Rob Marshall's musical crime-drama "Chicago".© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

It's got Kirsten Stewart who does not have a good reputation in the film world what for being in the Twilight movies. Ugh those hunks of garbage. But if you told me I would enjoy watching this I would have called you crazy, but I thought it was quite fun. After the Evil Queen marries the King, she performs a violent coup in which the King is murdered and his daughter, Snow White, is taken captive. Almost a decade later, a grown Snow White is still in the clutches of the Queen. To obtain immortality, The Evil Queen needs the heart of Snow White. After Snow escapes the castle, the Queen sends the Huntsman to find her in the Dark Forest. The Huntsman betrays the queen wishes and teams up with Snow White and trains her for battle to take down the evil queen. I like the idea of this film, still not a great main lead choice though. Snow White is supposed to be pure and filled with wonder, yet still strong and fierce in this movie. But every-time we see her she looks like she just woke up from a coma. Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman that seems like a good choice but he's just playing the same type of character as he did in Thor. Charlize Theron as Queen Ravenna was the best performance in the movie. She was a great casting choice and villain in general. The pacing was a little bit of an issue it felt a little drawn out. Like that scene where she's thought to be dead and the Huntsman is talking to her, that went on way too long for my taste. The CgI was pretty good and the action scenes are great. It would have been great to see more of the dark forest, I mean they face one giant troll and that's it? Pretty weak don't ya think? I would have expected for there to be dangers around every corner for a place known to the land as the dark forest. Rupert Sanders does a fine job directing the film but some of the scenes in the end are shot a little close when the battle inside Ravenna's castle is going on but aside from that he does pretty good. They opted to make a fun dark fairy tale film and with that they succeeded. Snow White and The Huntsman is a very flawed film but it can still be enjoyed for some, with one poor performance, bad writing on The Huntsman a bit of pacing issue yet still a fun decently directed film with a great villain and performance from Charlize as the Villain I'm giving this a three out of five.
... View MoreAnother Maleficent knockoff, meh.Good CGI, good cinematography, average everything else, plot quite warped from the fairy-tale.Quite dark and disturbing in parts.Watch it if you want to, but don't expect a masterpiece.
... View MoreWas Kristen Stewart really the best they could come up with to play Snow White? I felt she was completely miscast. She's supposed to be the most beautiful woman on earth! Charlize Theron was awful. She's a great actress, but in this movie she just whined and screeched, and her English accent was really atrocious. There are some excellent English accents out there from non-British English speakers - Gwyneth Paltrow immediately comes to mind - but Charlize Theron's was very poor. There aren't many action films I'll switch off halfway through, but this one I did. I'm can't help think of other fairy tales that have been turned into big-budget Hollywood films - Maleficent, the one with vampires and werewolves! - both of which were far superior to this effort.
