“Snow White and the Huntsman”… brief thoughts…

1 Comment

Last night, I finally got around to watching, “Snow White & The Huntsman”. It wasn’t as bad people made it out to be. The film did a pretty good job following the Snow White fairy tale. The visuals and cinematography were pretty impressive. I thought the action scenes were fun. Charlize Theron, made a pretty good Evil Queen, I thought she was menacing enough. Pretty much the only thing I don’t like about it, is the casting of Kristen Stewart. If they replaced her with a better actress and someone who is better to look at, the movie would have been perfectly fine.

Other than that, the movie was actually pretty good. Nothing I’ll watch over and over again, though. So I won’t bother buying the Blu-Ray. It is worth watching, the first time, though. Glad I never saw it in theater. This was a Netflix DVD rental, by the way.

Cool Video: So which version of “Snow White” live action do you prefer to see now?

Not too long ago, we’ve just seen the trailer for “Snow White and the Huntsman”, that stars Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron. The film is directed by, Rupert Sanders.

Well here’s another new Snow White movie coming out, by a director named Tarsem Singh, his version is called, “Mirror, Mirror”, which stars Lily Collins, Julia Roberts, and Armie Hammer.

Which version do I think that looks better? Honestly, I think Tarsem Singh’s film, “Mirror, Mirror” looks better than, “The Huntsman”. “Mirror, Mirror” is getting a lot of negative reviews on this trailer. I think I’m figuring out why.

“The Huntsman”, is an action adventure popcorn flick with special effects, “Mirror, Mirror” is not. “Mirror, Mirror” is a different style. Tarsem Singh is an Indian, so of course, his version of the film will feel a little bit, Bollywood-ish. I think “Mirror, Mirror” is a stylish and unique looking film. It looks pretty similar to the original Disney story and faithful too. Plus, Julia Roberts looks enjoyable in this movie. Even though I don’t like Julia Roberts too much, I’ll admit, I had a smile on my face watching her in this trailer. Julia made me smile more than Charlize Theron did as the Evil Queen in “The Huntsman”. That’s why people are bashing, “Mirror, Mirror” because it’s a different film.

I will see both versions in theater, just to see the different take and vision. Plus, I enjoy the Snow White story. It’s my favorite out of all the Disney classics.

Watch both trailers and take your pick.

When this “Snow White and the Huntsman” movie was being put together, I was at first skeptical of it. I’m like, “Oh no, they’re going to ruin a Disney classic by doing a live action version of this legendary tale”. When this trailer came out this week, I was very impressed with it. The movie actually looks like a very good one. I would probably go see it when it comes out, now. I don’t like Kristen Stewart too much, but the movie itself looks great. Check it out.
