this movie was actually really good. charlize theron does an amazing job playing the evil queen (no surprise there) and kirsten stewart is interesting in hr role as snow white. the huntsman, chris hemsworth is so picture worthy that even if you didn't like the movie, looking at him makes it all worthwhile! it is a great twist on the classic fairytale. i'd suggest seeing it on the big screen if you can.
love this movie...a must see!
no girl wishes to be the tragic victim (queen) who uses treachery to prevail in such a man's world but rather (snow white) one who prevails without resorting to treachery to avoid being victimized. yet it is sadly ironic, the impossible ideal of being the 'fairest' still gives her unmerited advantage in such a world in the end. what girl longs for that? it was a dark, real yet surreal, and earthy, gritty, and yes, even quite enchanted, and beautifully rendered visually. i actually loved it; it's worth the see. all actors suited their roles perfectly. (2/2)
i had no great expectations from a darker grown-up version of a children's fairytale, but i was pleasantly surprised and impressed. this story shows a multifaceted reflection of a portrait of womanhood through the ages in a man's world. what all women face in the hope of having either lasting beauty or youth or both; which if never had or lost, meant risking loss of being cherished or precious; many often being peddled, used up, and discarded as undesired and unwanted. (pt. 1)
it does have a little flavor of twlight but much darker and sinister feel.
charlize is mesmerizing!
loved it! great story, great action, great acting, super special effects!
a masterpiece ! deserves an award. enchanting and magical.
"mirror, mirror" was sooo much better than this!
unlike some of the early 5 star comments, i have actually seen this movie. while charlize theron plays a fantastic evil queen, her performance can't support the bad script and horrible acting by kristen stewart. my favorite part of the movie was when stewart was giving her big motivational speech and some guy in the theater actually blurted out "what??" couldn't have agreed more...
