Stars Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth. It retells the classic Grimm story with the evil queen tricking Snow White's father into marriage and then kills him in bed to take the throne. She then imprisons Snow White. Given those set of events I was wondering how Snow White would escape. Throughout the film Snow white represents life which is probably why her escape from her cell is helped by nature. Two birds sitting on her the window of her cell make her aware of nail which uses to stab Finn her evil step-mother's brother. However this is not the only time nature helps her escape Ravenna. In courtyard the birds appear again to show her a way out which is through the sewers. Other symbols of her connection nature are shown when leaves dark forest with the eight dwarves to fairy land. The acting is inconsistent. Kristen Stewart acting still resembles the Twilight series and that doesn't stop there. She is also in a love triangle with the Huntsman (Chris Hensworth) and William (Sam Claflin). Also her speech to the troops to rally the troops behind her to fight against Ravenna was croaky and flat. Charlize Theron Ravenna sometimes become shouting match. For example when Finn loses Snow White. Ravenna starts shouting about how incompetent he is. The eight Dwarves played by Ian McShane, Bob Hoskins, Ray Winstone and Toby Jones add some comic value like when they are going through the sewers to open the gate one the dwarves comments on seeing theses that some of faeces could be his. The visual effects are good. When Snow White gets lost in the dark forest. The visual effects show how alive and dangerous the dark forest is. For example you see the trees' branches which are dark moving enclosing around Snow white. This is a direct contrast to the fairy land which have bright colours and is welcoming. Overall the film is inconsistent in giving an enjoyable experience. |
