salmanalfarisi-81574 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.

Eddie Cantillo Snow White and The Huntsman (2012) Starring: Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, Ian McShane, Ray Winstone, Nick Frost, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, Bob Hoskins, Sam Spruell, Johnny Harris, Brian Gleeson, Vincent Regan, Noah Huntley, Liberty Ross, Christopher Obi, Lily Cole, Rachel Stirling, Hattie Gotobed, Raffey Cassidy, Xavier Atkins, Izzy Meikle-Small, Anastasia Hille and Elliot Reeve Directed By: Rupert Sanders Review THE FAIRY-TALE IS OVER This is one of the films that ran for a little while I feel was trend of taking classic fairy tales and making them darker and turning them into big action films, this is one of them. 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.

s-21112 What is the different between this and ANY tween and twerp wish fulfillment fantasy out there? And I mean for both gender. The main character (which is Bella, NOT Snow White since it is obvious that she also had everything handed to her and not have to work for them) is just another damsel in distress and had to rely on the men around her for everything. Feminist? The queen is a hypocrite who killed and mistreated other women, and had a RAPIST brother. Snow White become the leader while not doing anything to earn the rebel's respect. How can a girl who was locked away for almost all her life suddenly became a general? And how did she win without any strategy, tactic or preparation? And somehow won the duel with some tiny training? How does she know how to rule a kingdom? It is painfully obvious that this is just another Twilight.

TheLittleSongbird 'Snow White and the Huntsman' did have potential. The trailers looked decent, and Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth and all the actors playing the dwarfs have been responsible for great work in their careers.However, although she has given good performances outside of 'Twilight', this reviewer doesn't care hugely for Kristen Stewart (though she is not a detractor either) and cares even less for the 'Twilight Saga'. So expectations prior to seeing the film, a live-action re-imagining of the classic fairy tale, were mixed.Watching it finally at a film night with friends, 'Snow White and the Huntsman' wasn't as bad as feared and does have a good amount going for it, but it should have been much better than it was.First and foremost, starting with the good assets, the best things about 'Snow White and the Huntsman' are the production values and Charlize Theron. The film is very beautiful to look at, with luscious but also atmospheric photography, Gothic but also elegant and rustic set and scenery design and lavish costumes (Ravenna's are a knockout). The special effects are mostly fine too. Ravenna is the one character that 'Snow White and the Huntsman' properly tries to develop (and it does so reasonably, but there are parts that could have been elaborated upon more), and Theron positively sinks her teeth into the character, giving a very enjoyably hammy (sometimes), sinister and also tragic interpretation.James Newton Howard's score complements very well, it's beautifully orchestrated, rousing, elegiac, atmosphere-enhancing and very involving. Hemsworth is appropriately stone-faced and brooding as the Huntsman, displaying charisma and emotion. Sam Claflin does well too, though with an underwritten character.Was mixed however on the dwarfs and Rupert Sanders' direction. The dwarfs are very enjoyably characterised, with all of them displaying much needed character, humour and charm, more so than their material deserved. Ian McShane is particularly noteworthy. However, they are written in a very glossed over and bland fashion, almost like they were written as an afterthought. The decision to scale down the actors may not work for some people, those who feel that casting real-life dwarfs would have fared better, personally enjoyed the performances but felt it would have been better if Warwick Davis played all of them. Sanders' direction exudes confidence visually, but in the chemistry between actors, direction of some of the actors and direction of the drama he seemed ill at ease.The biggest problem with 'Snow White and the Huntsman' is Stewart (an opinion this reviewer well before reading the reviews for the film, so this is own opinion talking), she gives a very wooden, expressionless and one-note (constant surprise and "sucking on lemon"-like) performance that makes identifying and sympathising with Snow White incredibly difficult. A shame because her younger child counterpart was very believable. The story has moments (mainly with Theron), but flounders from a lack of chemistry in the pivotal relationship between Stewart and Hemsworth, a particularly dull middle act and stuff brought up but barely explored giving an incomplete and jumpy feel to the storytelling.Action is episodic and lacking in tension and excitement generally, while the script clunks badly and the characters are bland with the exception of Ravenna. They do start trying to develop the Huntsman but the development is forgotten about once he becomes protector and lover.Overall, looks great but fails to engage narratively. Not awful, not great, wildly uneven more like. 5/10 Bethany Cox
