Yesterday, I saw Snow White and the Huntsman. And I enjoyed it quite well. The visual effects and animation were amazing and the digital characters looked breathtakingly realistic, particularly my favorite CG creature, a troll. It was possibly the most realistic organic creature since the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. And the dwarves, played by normal sized actors, including Bob Hoskins and Ian McShane, were also seamless.
In fact, my biggest complaint about the movie was the bizarre casting. Kristen Stewart would've fared much better as the Evil Queen, because she looks evil and is evil. She was certainly not the fairest in the land, for she didn't have blond hair and blue eyes. And Charlize Theron was also, for some reason, miscast, despite successfully playing villains before.
And why do the characters in fairy tale/fantasy film adaptations always have British accents? For God's sake, Snow White wasn't even a British fairy tale! And The Spiderwick Chronicles was one of the rare films of this genre to defy that convention, in which British actors played Americans.
Maybe Kristen Stewart is going for Oscar gold like Charlize Theron before her and needs to have a poor British accent added to her resume to reach the Holy Grail of acting.
Oh and yeah, Chris Hemsworth merely kissed Kristen Stewart's corpse in the movie, presumably to keep it at a PG-13.
