Snow White and the Huntsman

In the epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Charlize Theron) out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) dispatched to kill her. Sam Claflin joins the cast as the prince long 
enchanted by Snow White's beauty and power.
( Synopsis from RottenTomatoes)

My good luck I saw this film. It was very good and exciting, and I thought the acting was fantabulous.

Everyone has told me what a horrid actress Kristen Stewart was, but I really did not get that impression. She was perfect for SnowWhite and all her mannerisms were perfect for the innocent girl she is portraying. And she looked perfect. Chris Hemsworth was rough, absolutely perfect, totally heart- breaking as the Huntsman (Erik). I cried at one point with him, and dude, please give me more of the scottish brogue. PLEASE! And then, of course, you can't just ignore Charlize Theron as Ravenna, the evil queen; I mean, I know her part wasn't that big, but still.... She was evil. EVIL I tell you. But she is gorgeous. And I might just have to say, she was the fairest of them all. Sorry Kristen. You're still gorgeous, believe me.

Sam Claflin was a very good love lost, heart broken Prince, and, I mean, who can't like him? Certainly not me. And I loved all the dwarves; they were very prickly but dedicated as well. The cinematography was breath-taking ( I think the location was some part of England), and something I actually appreciated that they never do : The cast actually looked cold. They had red noses and ears. THANK YOU Rupert Sanders. Some of the shots got on my nerves though; I want at least one good far out shot, so I can actually tell what's going on. 

And then there's the content : Well, in the beginning, Ravenna and the king have just gotten married, and quite a bit of, ahem, kissing, but then things take a violent turn, and that's over. Ravenna takes a buttermilk bath in front of her brother, Finn, and she is implied to be naked, but if you've seen the trailer, you should know what it will be like, 'cause basically that's all it is. Then there is a scene where ( not sexual at all) where you see Ravenna's bare back.There are 2 kisses besides that, and some cleavage. Swearing : a few of d*** and h***. The violence was sometimes disturbing : Ravenna does this weird little thing where she sucks the life out of peoples hearts, or she sucks the age out of the, so they are either dead when she's done, or very old. Sword fights, stuff like that, and that's about it. It very possibly might be disturbing to some people. 

Go go see this movie. I really, really enjoyed it. And considering it was Rupert Sanders first movie to direct, it was very fine accomplishment. 8/10. ( it could have been longer though).
