Starring: Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth

Storyline: Snow White, imprisoned daughter of the late king, escapes just as the Magic Mirror declares her the source of the Evil Queen's immortality. The Queen sends her men, led by a local huntsman, to bring her back. But upon her capture, the huntsman finds he's being played and turns against the Queen's men, saving Snow White in the process. Meanwhile, Snow's childhood friend, William, learns that she is alive and sets off to save her.Written by G.C. Bendixen  at IMDB

Pros: This was a great and refreshing take on the Snow White story.  It was nice to see that Snow White's beauty was more about her heart than her looks as opposed to other versions.  It wasn't poor little princess, prince come save her.  She was a fighter in a determined-to-stay-alive but she wasn't that sort of unrealistic fighter.  Having the Huntsman as more prominent character was well-balanced; he assisted Snow White without carrying her.  And Queen Ravenna was a spectacular evil queen.  Scheming, devious, sly and yet not wholly evil.  She is a woman who's been shaped by her circumstances but has also given in to the lust for power, who probably would never attempt to redeem herself and yet a small part of you could sympathize with her.  The dwarves were not Disney's tribe, and yet they were still able to provide some comic relief without stupid cheesy elements (I'm looking at you Mirror Mirror).  And the best part - seeing Snow White take the throne.  Without having to marry a prince to do it.

Cons: Prince William was kind of useless.  With a little bit of tweaking you could have told the same story without him.  Characters like that kind of annoy me.  I was kind of disappointed by Kristen's acting.  I was really excited for this movie partly because I wanted to see what she was capable of doing outside that Twilight role and she fell kind of flat for me.  Some parts of the story felt...lacking in some sense.  I can't quite explain it, but it just felt like there should have been more of something.

My Thoughts: it's worth a checking out, especially if you're a Charlize fan because she really doesn't go wrong in this movie.  And Chris Hemsworth was okay, and looked really good.  Avoid if you were hoping this would be a break-out role for Kristen, because she doesn't quite pull it off.  But it's worth seeing at least once.
