User Review
What a breathtakingly raw adaptation!
Rating:
When my friend called me up on the morning of 14th May telling me that
she won tickets to the premiere of this movie and wanted me to come
along, I couldn't believe it. I was half asleep when she called me and
in my sleep state I was tempted to say no and hit the hay but THANK GOD
I DIDN'T.
This movie was absolutely breath taking from the very first scene and
it's tremendous considering Rupert Sanders is a first time director.
Not even the most experienced directors could have taken this where
Rupert took it. The visual imagery was so raw and edgy, I could
actually feel Queen Ravenna's lust for beauty and her hatred for Snow
White and it's safe to say that Charlize Theron was the perfect actress
for this role. Only she could make an evil queen seem vulnerable at the
same time.
Kristen Stewart was a pleasant surprise! After the Twilight movies, I
had somewhat doubted her abilities as an actress but I'm glad and
relieved to say that she proved me wrong. She brought such heart,
passion and bravery to this role and yes, Snow White did kick some ass!
K-Stew was all suited up in armour with her sword in hand ready to
fight for her Kingdom unlike the airy fairy Lily Collins in "Mirror,
Mirror". It's refreshing to see young blood bringing something new to
cinema and not what has been done a thousand times before so thanks
K-Stew, you're definitely one to watch!
Chris Hemsworth was fantastic as the Huntsman! A "brute with a heart"
he most certainly is! Chris Hemsworth brought such strength and
vulnerability to the Huntsman. He may appear very rugged and unkempt in
the movie but don't let that fool you...his character is soft at heart
and is willing to do anything to be a good human being but he doesn't
show it as most of us do. He chooses to prove his loyalty by giving his
word to Snow White...I won't say anymore but prepare for an interesting
twist there!
The dwarfs were amazing and had such attitude, Toby Jones, Ian McShane,
Ray Winstone gave delightful performances and were definitely one of
the highlights of the movies.
Overall, the movie is a solid 10/10 and I will definitely watch it
again...YOU SHOULD TOO!
