Review of Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) by Kevin R — 10 Apr 2013

How strong is your heart?

Snow White's mother died during child birth and her father is murdered by her wicked step mother. The step mother takes over the thrown, starves her people, bankrupts her kingdom, and cares for nothing but herself. When it comes time for the stepmother to rid herself of Snow White, Snow White escapes and leads her people in a rebellion against her stepmother.

Rubert Sanders delivers Snow White and the Huntsmen in his directorial debut. The storyline for this picture is very entertaining and unpredictable at times. The content was a bit more gory and intense than I anticipated and the cinematography and action sequences were wonderful. The acting was superb and the cast includes Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Bob Hoskins, Ian McShane, and Toby Jones.

Snow White and the Huntsman was a movie I desperately wanted to see in theatres but unfortunately did not get a chance to last summer. I loved this movie, pretty much from beginning to end. I can't say I loved the glass monsters, but everything else was pretty much on point. This is an excellent action movie with great visuals and contained wonderful acting. I strongly recommend seeing this movie.
