Snow White & the Huntsman

I was very under-whelmed by this movie. Aside from a notable performance from Charlize Theron, the actors and by extension the entire movie felt confused. For a while there I thought I was watching Princess Bride. The dark and evil forest which no one was to enter, had everyone in it at one point. I blinked, and I thought I was watching Return of The King. This included a nice little jot through some New Zealand like terrain. All that was missing was someone tossing an apple back to one of the dwarves. I blinked again, and now I am watching Joan of Ark... I honestly don't think Kristen Stewart can act. Her one-line facial expressions were strained.

Having Kristen Stewart as the main actress should have been enough of a clue, but I still persisted watching this on the plane. Definitely not worth the effort...

It has some good elements, but they were cobbled together poorly. Some moments of the film relied on a foundation that was never built, or edited out, to be interesting. Others just felt corny to the point of cringing. That said, it was pretty to look at. It felt like it had potential, but they tried to cram too much into their allotted time.
