Snow White and the Huntsman

Acting: 7

This movie didn't require too much acting from Kristen Stewart, but her inspirational speech was enough to motivate me to fight against the queen. The acting was definitely highlighted be performances from Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth. Charlize Theron was perfect as she was both terrifyingly power hungry and at pitiful at the same time. Chris Hemsworth is slowly becoming one of the better action stars as he delivers a strong and charming performance as the huntsman.

Plot: 8

A great job to the writers for taking a classic fairytale and making it unique without completely abandoning the original story. There are parts of this movie that everyone who loves Snow White can identify while still bringing a more dark, more real spin on the familiar story that we all know.

Plot Development: 7

Overall I was never bored and never felt like the story was dragging, but there were definitely parts that seemed out of place or unnecessary while in traveling through the forest. As a whole though the movie progressed at a good pace and kept my eyes glued to the screen the whole time.

Cinematography: 9

Great special effects and film editing that brought excitement to all the scenes, especially the action ones. Very visually pleasing and terrifying takes on the dark forest and the dark magic of the queen

Dialogue: 6

Not as much cheesy dialogue as I expected from a fairy tale movie and the writer for the huntsman did a very good job and Chris Hemsworth fit it perfectly. There were definitely some scenes that I felt were not up to the best standard of dialogue as they tried to force too many fantastical things into the script, but overall the dialogue was well done.

Overall Score: 7.4

Recommendation: Absolutely see it if you get a chance, its a new twist on a classic fairy tale that will keep you entertained until the very end.
