In the epic
action-adventure Snow White and the
Huntsman, Kristen Stewart plays the iconic Snow White — the only person
fairer than the evil queen (Charlize Theron), who is out to destroy her. Chris
Hemsworth is the huntsman that aspires to save her.
Too bad he can’t save
this bloated film. I’d like to trim it by about 30 (long) minutes.
The film looks
ravishing, but there's no heart in this grim re-imagining of the famous story. Ironically,
a lot of the heartlessness rests with Snow White. Master of the single-expression,
Kristen Stewart, was terribly miscast as an actress. I mean, terribly miscast as
an actress who can play a woman whose heart is so pure that it will bring life
to the doomed land.
Charlize has a
delightful time in this role, and her scenes are unforgettable. It’s a shame
the rest of the film is such a bad, rotten apple.
Simply
put: Definitely not
the fairest version of them all. But Charlize Theron, as the evil Queen, is.
Award
potential: Should be on the long
list for Best Costume Design.
The ten
buck review: Not worth ten bucks.
