Ok so we all know the tale of Snow
White..and we have seen it adapted into soo many films. So here is the million-dollar
question is this version different from the rest? I think not!.. I really had
hopes for this film! And honestly I was a little disappointed! The film stars
Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, and Chris Hemsworth. I honestly don't know if
I hate the film or if I liked it...it kept my attention but it felt like the
story was missing something...it wasn't epic enough! And the character
development wasn't really there! The film was visually stunning! With all the landscapes and cgi.
the costumes and makeup was dazzling, Especially Theron's costumes and
makeup. I will be surprised if this film doesn't get nominated for art
direction, cinematography, and costumes at the Oscars next year, because
honestly it looked amazing.
Charlize Theron was great in this! She was my favorite part of
the film. She was soo wicked as the queen! I really wanted to see her in
every scene! She was the true star and the scene-stealer of the three. Very believable as the evil queen and she is oh so stunning. Kristen Stewart
wasn't bad but she wasn't great! She was somewhat believable as Snow White but
it wasn't quite there! she was great at the end as this bad ass warrior but
Stewart as the sweet and caring snow white fell flat for me. she wasn't
graceful and angelic more like awkward and dull! There wasn't much for Chris Hemsworth
to do, who plays the huntsman in the film. I don’t think us as viewers knew him
as another name lol he was just the hot guy with an axe and a knife. He had a
few good one-liners but, that was the full extent of his character. There was
also a small love triangle between the huntsman, Snow White and her childhood
friend…but again there was no nothing to get excited over. The dwarfs
bothered me a bit because again I didn’t feel attach to them as characters to
care for. and Sam Claflin who plays William
Snow White’s other love entrance/ childhood friend was fine but again
nothing special!
The score was nice again not epic
enough. I loved the Florence and machine song /breath of life that played
during the credits.really good song !This composer really needs to listen to Howard Shore, John Williams
and Alexander Desplat because these guys are best when it comes to creating
music for films. There are four things that really make a movie
awesome to me…the characters, story, cinematography, and score. This film was
great as a visual piece but everything else was lacking. the big problem with
this film was the screenplay it wasn’t original and there wasn’t enough for the
characters to do. All the elements were present but the
story was mediocre and this is a story we have seen and heard before. Visually
the film was fresh. Apparently this was the director Rupert Sander’s first
film…not bad for a first. Overall all I guess I did somewhat enjoy it! I didn't
hate it just wasn't epic enough! Too much hype not enough dazzle!
