Movie: Snow White and the
Huntsman
Genre: fantasy
Synopsis: Snow White’s
(Kristen Stewart) father is the popular King (Noah Huntley). Their life of happiness comes to an end with
the arrival of Raveena (Charlize Theron).
The King is entranced by Raveena, marries her, and then disappears. Queen Raveena banishes Snow White to her room
and proceeds to wreak havoc on the kingdom for her own pleasure. Snow White finally escapes and hides out with
– wait for it – eight (yes, eight, not seven) dwarfs in a dark forest. The Queen sends The Huntsman (Chris
Hemsworth) into the forest agter her.
My two cents: This was a
great movie. Lots of twists to the old
Disney classic. I thought Kristin
Stewart was just so-so as Snow White. The
dwarfs were hilarious. I won’t give away
how the dwarf’s were portrayed – but it was great. Chris Hemsworth was great as The
Huntsmen. But the one I could not get
enough of was Charlize Theron as The Queen – and not just because she is so
darned beautiful. I think Charlize
Theron has ha new standard for the evil stepmother/evil Queen. When she got angry – which was most of the
time – you just wanted to duck and hide.
When she yelled – which was also often - my blood would run cold and I would cringe. She was GREAT. This movie is well worth seeing – but I would
not recommend taking small children.
