Summary: 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
My Rating: 3/10
When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I immediately knew I wanted to see it. The queen was the main focus of the trailer and so I thought that this story would be Snow White but with a twist. A story with more of a focus on the evil queen. Or that was what I was hoping for once I saw that Kristen Stewart was Snow White. Seeing her terrible acting in the Twilight series made me not want to watch this. However, the trailer looked amazing, so I decided to give Kristen Stewart a chance.However, it seems that she was not able to redeem herself in this movie as well. Or, perhaps the movie itself was just bad.
- First of all, the whole point of Snow White is that Snow White is fairer than the Queen. Well, in this movie, the Queen was definitely fairer than Snow White. So that bothered me throughout the whole movie.
- Also, there was too many fighting scenes. I like a good action movie with fighting scenes but this movie, the fighting scenes seemed pointless. There was even one point in the movie when the Queen was fighting Snow White and it just seemed hilarious to me when Snow White was being thrown around everywhere.
- Not only are there too many fight scenes, the awkward romance between Snow White and the Huntsman could have been portrayed better than Stewart's awkward emotionless glances at him. Although the point was made, the execution could have been better.
- Last but not least, the storyline had some major holes in it. I understand it is a Hollywood movie BUT, Snow White has been in jail for the last 10 or so years of her life. How does she suddenly learn how to fight, lead and army, and give an "inspirational" speech within the last 30 minutes of the movie?
All in all, this movie had a good concept, but it was not the best. It could have been really well done but failed miserably. I am not sure if my hatred of Stewart's acting is clouding my judgement but I feel a lot of elements just clashed in this movie. You are better off spending your money elsewhere.
