Snow White and The Huntsman (2012)

 

Genre: Fantasy
Directed by: Rupert Sanders
Starring: Kristen Steward, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth
Running time: 127 minutes

 


King Magnus is enchanted and killed by Ravenna, an evil sorceress who then becomes almighty queen. Queen Ravenna has Snow White, Magnus’ young daughter locked up in a dungeon. As Snow White gets older, the Queen wants to kill her stepdaughter and take her power to contribute to her eternal life. Snow White escapes and then comes back with a army to battle her evil stepmother.

 This is a dark reimagining of the German fairytale by the Brothers Grimm. It is entertaining as such, in spite of a loaded plot and uneven acting. Not bad, per se, but nothing special either.
