Let me get this straight. You cast Kristen Stewart; I'm going to say that again; Kristen Stewart in a role where her whole reason for being is that she is supposed to be more beautiful than Charlize Theron? Who's casting this movie, Stevie Wonder?

Soulless and often boring. Stewart is completely wrong for this role, and she does a terrible job, giving what's basically a non-performance. On the other end of the spectrum, Theron goes pretty crazy with hers - which is both entertaining and somewhat grating. Hemsworth and the parade of stars playing the dwarves acquit themselves well enough, but there is no one good reason to go see this more-or-less watchable, competently produced but ultimately too uninspired dud.

Another dark and "realistic" re-imagination of a classic fairytale. It works for the most part because it sticks to the elements which made the classic memorable. It's puzzling why anyone in the kingdom would believe Kirsten Stewart is the "fairest" of them all when Hemsworth is more beautiful and i'm a straight dude. Theron is absolutely great. The CGI deserves special mention for how well done it is. There's no plot or character depth here in this Snow White incarnation unfortunately.

Interesting to see a darker adaption to the story, but it fails to deliver in most places. Casting, pacing and script all in the limelight here to name a few. A couple of good scenes dotted here and there, but overall you just get the feeling of being endlessly dragged along scene by scene to an ending that is already extremely well known.

A mostly poor film with some strong elements that make it all the more frustrating - notably the gorgeous cinematography/production design/costuming, Theron chewing the scenery, and the freakily high-caliber cast playing the dwarves. But the story is dull fantasy paint-by-numbers, the final showdown between (spoilers, I guess, but not really) Snow White and the Queen is just astonishingly anticlimactic, and Kristen Stewart is awful. Could they not find Emily Browning's phone number or something?

I once paid $18 for an IMAX showing of this, only to fall right asleep. That nap was quite memorable, maintaining persistence through surround fucking sound speakers, and I never found the need to seek out the film itself. Anyway, I finally see it, and surprise, surprise: it is a lazily made, formulaic moobie. Kristen Stewart's Snow White is beautiful, but wooden, and Chris Hemsworth impressed me with his effort. Nothing else of note. Ultimately, that nap was tops compared to this.

Aesthetically brilliant, with a strong performance from Hemsworth, an entertaining performance from Theron, and an improvement from her usual roles for Stewart. Still, the movie can be a bit of a mess at times and Stewart really isn't a good enough actress to be delivering motivational speeches to armies.

Well mounted if overly grim fairytale is sparked by handsome production/set design, a deliciously evil supporting performance from Theron and likable performances from Stewart and Hemsworth. Unfortunately the film's screenplay is far too derivative of similar TWILIGHT-era fantasy tales, which means there are very few surprises along the way; the bizarre casting choice of respected British full-sized actors as dwarves is also a distracting conceit. Still, a fair way to pass a couple of hours.

Disappointing in the fact that it is sometimes beautifully filmed and there are some stunning effects. The dwarves are mostly wasted and Hemsworth at times sounds like a Sly Stallone impersonation. Stewart is terrible as she is in everything I have ever seen her in and even Threron who is normally dependable comes off a bit hammy. It isn't awful and it is probably worth watching once for some eye candy.

Besides a slew of capable actors playing the dwarfs and Chris Hemsworth giving it his all, you still feel every minute of this 127 minute reimagining. Theron seems to be getting a pass for this, which I assume is because she is a well respected actress because this wasn't her strongest role. It's not completely her fault though, as she is playing an incredibly melodramatic role opposite the emotionless lip quivering lump that is Kristen Stewart.

Unsurprisingly, Kristen Stewart is the weak spot in this movie. She has about one and a half facial expression and every time she tries to emote, she looks like she's passing gas. Most notably in her great speech; it would be difficult to pull off for any actress, since it's mostly gibberish, but when Stewart starts with 'Frost to fire' she sounds like a homeless person ranting on the street. While Chris Hemsworth gives a solid performance, there's far too little of him to make this worth it.

There's genuine magic here--S.W.'s discovery of a white horse, a fairy sanctuary, the witchcraft of the evil queen--encased in a lovely production, well-directed and well-acted (Kristen Stewart shows just how much she's capable of; Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, and Bob Hoskins don't disappoint)...but hamstrung by a choppy script which gives many of the characters (especially the dwarves) little to do and wastes much of its excessive length. A beautiful, engaging, but very frustrating film.

Watching Kristen Stewart do her thing in these miscast roles is rough. The screenplay has no idea what it wants to be, as we witness a fairytale attempt to be an epic as it woefully fills 127 minutes. While the dark visuals are often pretty awesome, the direction and cast struggle. Theron and her T-1000 mirror are entertaining, but even she becomes tiresome with her overacting.

Stewart's slouchy, I'm-bummed persona is an ill fit & Theron's feminist subtext is trashed early on 4 formula. Since this is really a female power fantasy, the heroine's given TWO perfect loving hunks she gets 2 choose from. This choice offers some unpredictability: who will she pick? & how will the film handle the problem this poses 4 a happy ending? If she chooses 1, we'd have 2 watch a good guy get his heart broken. Unsurprisingly, the film avoids any ugliness by quickly rolling the credits.

I wasn't expecting this to be wonderful, but I certainly didn't think it was going to be so boring. The emotional moments are never actually earned, which makes them either fall flat or just come off as melodramatic and cheesy. Also, would it have killed them to make Snow White actually look, you know, pale as snow?

Actually thought Theron kind of over-acted certain lines (but mostly did a good job), and I bought Stewart in the role until she became Xena: Warrior Princess. Sure the movie does a lot of movie things to progress the plot, cliches we've seen a million times, but great art/set design and good CGI helped create an interesting and alive fantasy world. People said this sucks shit, but despite it's few flaws, it's a good movie.

I had expected this movie to be a horrible reinvention of the Snow White story, but I was surprised to find myself highly entertained. It's a fairly dark movie with some one sided characters, but Hemsworth does the heavy lifting here and it ends up being pretty damned good. Kristen Stewart still sucks.

A wonderful -straight- opening, promising an EXCALIBUR with some burton but quickly turns 'Lord of the Narnia Wars' hero's journey and clunky Christian allegory. Sadist/masochist and incest themes are edited out badly (-5min version) then go nowhere anyhow. Feminist -my arse- all madonna/whore binarism then a nonsensical change of character that no actor could have pulled off. 3D guff and purely-a-set-up-for-sequels fairyland aside, there were some cool visuals amongst it.

When I saw calvary charge through the woods and then uphill against ranks of what appeared to be spearmen, I was disappointed. When calvary crushed them, I lost hope for this movie. Then we have melee huntsman with an axe. AN AXE. What does he hunt, trees perhaps? CGI was nice but half of it didn't make sense. WTF was with that weird white deer? What is the role of fairies? This is just poorly designed product from script to casting.

Or, RUNNING AROUND IN THE WOODS: THE MOVIE. A mixed bag. It's boring and talky in parts, but there are other parts--the giant troll, the tiny fairies, those awesome dwarves--that are pretty great. Could have used a whole lot more complexity at both the screenwriting and directorial levels, and somebody needed to put a frigging leash on Theron, who's ridiculously, histrionically over the top, but I'm glad I saw this. Not sure if I'd rush out to see it again anytime soon, though.

Charlize Theron is absolutely terrific in this, but unfortunately the story soon shifts away from her towards the titular characters portrayed by the Incredible Charmless Duo Stewart-Hemsworth. The dark look is fairly well realized and the story treatment is more interesting than it strictly needed to be, though too heavily reliant on boring battle scenes.

An overly serious, overly long film which desperately needs a better sense of pacing, a sense of humor, and a sense of who it's protagonist is. Attempts to circumvent the idea of a damsel in distress but rather comes across as a movie about the Huntsman rather than Snow White. When the art design isn't trying to ape the Lord of the Rings, the sets are fantastic. Charlize Theron chews the scenery very well. Kristen Stewart is a non-entity as the title character. A lot of wasted potential.

Charlize Theron almost makes up for this mess of a film, as she was fantastic. Kristen Stewart was an obvious miscast.

On the other hand, there is some incredible cinematography throughout, and I look forward to what this director does next.

The first half is much stronger than the second half. Some of the fantasy-wilderness cinematography is quite beautiful and incredibly immersive. There is an eerie sense of quiet throughout the first portion of the film. The later portion gives Kristen Stewart more lines, and this is a bad, bad mistake. She simply isn't believable as the leader of an army. The assault on the castle is cool and there are some great trebuchet shots, but the sense of scale is missing. Ending death is weak too.

Decent enough premise. 'Shoot a kids fairy story as an adult adventure' and for the most part it works well enough, thanks to the generally good cast (although sad to say, not perhaps the key players themselves) and the really excellent set design. The main problem with the film is whether an "adult" snow white can still be an "innocent virgin that brings the flowers out in bloom" ... the script never quite pulls that paradox off, and without a central romance, the film lacks real emotion

Not as visually stunning as I'd hoped but every bit as meandering and basic as I'd feared, Snow White and the Huntsman marks a huge missed opportunity to spin a classic yarn with a more realistic thread. All the leads come up quite short, but the eight dwarves certainly highlight the character department. Too bad their role is nigh inconsequential and severely underdeveloped.

Surprisingly I didn't hate it! The basics of a solid fantasy adventure are there & at no point was anything so awful that I was aghast! It's actually a good looking film, but it's got major issues admittedly. The pacing is horrific & the story woefully off-kilter & underdeveloped both in terms of the characters & mythology. The idiotically muddled script reeks of endless rewrites & plot revisions which have clearly affected the whole film. But the cast are okay & overall it's harmless enough.

Let's get this straight: Snow White is a stupid, condescending tale and I'm pretty sure it has never been done well. This is one of the better adaptations, its strengths lie not in the script or in the casting of Stewart, but in sheer production value. It managed to keep my interest through aesthetics alone and does almost everything better than Mirror Mirror, like casting someone who is actually pretty as the evil queen. I'm being a bit lenient with my ranking; There are lots of problems here.

This movie completely surprised me with its level of quality. The story is rich and full of some interesting subtext and visual themes. We're given a great deal of subtext about perversion and decay relating to Ravenna while there's a lot of natural themes surrounding Snow White. It's a beautiful film that has fairly restrained CGI and quality design. There's enough action to keep most entertained, it's well shot, and not lacking in tension. It's a well told story that I would recommend.

Great graphics.. terrible EVERYTHING else. Instead of making a nice adventure film or nice love story, or even a nice tragedy, they decided to make an Epic Fantasy Love Drama Tragedy that just throws in elements from every genre without care for how they might actually mix or tell a story. There's a fakey "we'll name drop lots of made-up stuff to give the illusion of a rich world of lore". There's the contrived romance. Jumpy storytelling with no development.

It had been a long time ago since I last laughed out loud in the cinema because of how bad a scene really was. Congratulations, Kristen Stewart, your 'motivational speech' to raise an army did the trick! Two major good things about this film: the casting of Charlize Theron and the lovely dwarfs. The rest meanders between bad, worse and laughable - mostly due to the female lead part. Pity.

I didn't really expect much from this film, but it still disappointed me. Changing the old tale of Snow White isn't an inherently bad idea, it just wasn't done well here. It just steals elements from popular fantasy works. Kristen Stewart was just awful. To be fair, her character is dull and underdeveloped too. Charlize Theron was better, but really over-the-top. I mostly just found it boring. The climax was just, well, anti-climactic. I can now die happily having seen Ian McShane as a dwarf.

Great editing and special effects. Charlize Theron is the definition of beauty and Chris Hemsworth makes his character fun. Kristen, on the other hand, still is Bella Swan. Is it worthy of your time? Man, I enjoyed it. As I said in the beginning, visually it is very engaging.

Snow White and the Huntsman is a dreary and boring action film that tangentially uses the mythos of the Grimms' Snow White, but ultimately uses a plot borrowed from more films than you can count on your fingers. It's generic, completely lacking in any sort of fun, has a poor Snow White, and despite being incredibly shallow somehow manages to run for over two hours. Apart from Charlie Theron's performance, there isn't any reason for you to watch this movie.

Not insultingly bad or anything, but still a rather weak effort. Nothing about this Snow White adaptation really felt like it was doing anything new, and it was in dire need of some comic relief. Grim in more ways than one.

A good movie for Theron. It seems like the purpose of the entire thing was to show how pretty she is.

An atrocious trinity of failed writing, poor directing, and horrendous editing: Snow White fails to make up for itself in the visual FX department. Despite being beautiful, they painted the entire film in a sappy, gaudy light. The writing, while certainly self-aware, attempted to make connections and create patterns that were completely unsupported by the directing, editing, and acting.

What I really appreciate is how well-lighted the film is. Too many movies seem to rely on dim lighting in order to set the mood, but the audience's interpretation of the action is horribly affected by this decision. Instead, the costumes and set design provide most of the darkness, with the actors and special effects supplying the rest. This is some pretty confident film-making.

The visual effects in this movie are really stunning. I didn't expect much, but saw it after it got some oscar nominations and and it surprised me a lot. Definitely one of the best big blockbusters of the year and a smart way of re-telling the classic story. The cast is fairly good: Theron is a solid, fun villain and Kristen Stewart works well for the most part. Chris Hemsworth has been better, and the part could have used a little more Han Solo and less earnestness. The dwarves are great

Chris Hemsworth buid a good character and I liked the gigantic troll. But there was too much of bad CGI. So much that there was big difficulties to run the story and build a decent plot. The Evil Queen tried to build some kind of background for herself, but armies of war run over it.

Theron is great and there are a handful of scenes that look absolutely gorgeous. Sadly, the bad far outweighs the good: the writing is terrible, the pacing is awful, Stewart is painfully bad... the list could go on forever, much like this movie did. Seriously, whoever came up with the idea of making Snow White into an "epic" should be stabbed in the throat. Oh, and for future reference: if your "epic" has something like twenty people storming the castle, you're doing it wrong.

Every sequence without Charlize Theron is inconsequential, and every sequence with her is gorgeous if not high cinema.

A movie with some epic scenes put before you but sadly the acting in the movie is lacking and the script is pretty weak as well. Kristen Stewart was just as awful as ever and at no point did I look at her and say "Oh wow, she really looks like Snow White". He skin was too tan and her hair wasn't black enough. Lily Collins has her totally beat in the looks department for Snow White. This movie was pretty boring but at least the locations were pretty neat.

[Extended Version] - Good-looking and enjoyable - but we knew that already about Charlize.T. Besides visuals and a very good support, especially the underused dwarfs, this overlong film is too often slowly wandering and overall it's a frustrating waste of potential. *Preview*: #12#, exp-3*, popcorn, hype, story, Charlize.T/10-5, cast, R2.

Leave your pre-conceived notions at the door and enjoy a really good action/fantasy flick. The effects and action are very well done to keep the film interesting. Stewart pulled her head out of her twilight ass and showed she can actually be a decent actress, and of course Theron is great as well.

(spoilers) Its a beautiful movie. Plenty of plotholes and kristen stewart sucks, but you can't deny that it looks awesome. One thing that really irks me is that they seem to have a backstory for everyone, except the mythical Mirror. What WAS it? it never explains in anyway why this mirror wanted to give this person these powers beyond having an enchantment placed on the queen. thats my Major gripe, the mirror became a full character once it exited the mirror, it should have had a background too.

The visual design is actually quite striking yet strangely subtle in many scenes. It also has a really interesting and even tragic take on the Evil Queen's character. However, the biggest problem is the title character. Kristen Stewart really turns in a dog of a performance. Every time she's on screen, she practically screams "I'm acting!" And her character arc is not all that believable or makes you care about her. A title character that unlikable really drags the film down.

Some points for the nice decor, some lovely visual imagination and Theron's scary-hot, Sado-Elisabeth Bathory style Evil Queen. However, the tone veers out of control, and there are too many cliched, by-the-numbers action scenes with too much bombastic music, slow motion and shakey handheld camera. The story seems to wander aimlessly. Whenever the action flags, they just throw in a few more new characters.
