Snow White and the Huntsman

Released in June 2012, this adventure movie is a new take on the Grimm classic "Snow White and the seven dwarves" in which the Huntsman ordered to take Snow White into the woods to be killed, winds up becoming her protector in crossing the dead forest to her uncles caslte to round up an army against the evil queen.

The movie was directed by Rupert Sanders and written by Evan Daugherty and John Lee Hancock and stars Kirsten Stewart, Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron. 

Well... I think I'll start with the good things this time. 

The setting is extraordinary. Beautiful mountains and forest. It's amaizing. The designs of the mystical creatures and the cool mushrooms with eyes. It's just really, really cool. 

The music, epic and kind of medival, it's fine. Except for the moment in which the dwarves are playing a song that sounds just like Titanic. It's really cool music. 

And last, but not least: the special effects. Those are just too cool. 

The acting is not bad for Hemsworth and Theron's part. I'll talk later about Kristen Steward. 

The rest of this movie is crap. 

Starting from the script, which is lousy at best, with a lot, and I mean a LOT of plot devices and badly explained things, up to the casting director. I really don't think that you can call Kristen Stewart the most beautiful woman of the planet. And yet, if the script was a little better or the actor direction a little more acurate, she could have done a pretty good performance. 

Anyway, if you're a teenage girl, you'll probably like it. I mean, it's the movies target and from the teenager opinions I've heard, they think it's entertaining. If you're going to watch it fro Chris Hemsworth, I recomend you to watch the Avengers instead. And if you wanna see Charlize Theron, she's done a load of better movies. If you're like me and wanna see it for the special effects, go for Cameron's Avatar or Tim Burton's  Alice in Wonderland. They have better effects (even though Alice's effects and animations are very similar at some points) and the acting is a load better in both. 

And if you wanna see romance and twisted fairytales, do yourself a favour and just watch the series Once Upon a Time, which has a better script, better actors, and loads of epic music.
