Snow White with a Dark Side



Snow White and the Huntsman starring Twilight's Kristen Stewart as Snow White and Charlize Theron as Ravenna the Evil Queen in the dark version of the Brothers Grimm Snow White and the seven dwarfs. Though the story lacked some substance and clarity in parts and became a bit whiny with Kristin Stewart staring off into space at times with her big beautiful vacant eyes, there were some excellent acting done in the movie that should be credited. Of course you can't miss the eye candy of Chris Hemsworth. Charlize Theron did an excellent job as the evil Queen Ravenna and the special effects around her costume were brilliant. Sam Spruell who plays her evil brother and enforcer Finn is a coward and person to look out for and was a direct connection to his sister in more ways then one. The dwarves or little people headed by Bob Hoskins just like in the dark tale, liked their drink,  told tales and sang but got down to business when it came down to protecting their princess. The cinematography and CGI was fantastic and the story does pick up in parts here and there. It's worth seeing.
