Loudwater School Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I saw it last night. The dialogue was silly and the events were predictable, mostly, especially at first. Visually it was astounding. Some parts are intense and scary. I would not take any of my children to it. Actually, I probably wouldn't spend the eight bucks at all.

rwjx2khsmj Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Save your money. Enjoy it in a month or so on dvd. The special effects are really great and it is beautifully filmed. Everything else is just okay. Some of it is barely okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuzi Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I find it telling that the "star" of the movie (Snow White/Kristen Stewart) is notably absent, or nearly absent, in almost every piece of promotional material I've seen for this movie.

Trilliums Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 I know, I was surprised when I saw she was playing Snow White because I didn't get that at all from the previews. She does have the oddest expression; glad to know I'm not just imagining it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meggie Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Last time I saw her in anything was Twilight. I wanted to scream, "Stuttering and sputtering do not count as emoting!!!!!" I also wanted to tell Rob Pattinson to stop widening his eyes, he looked like a creepazoid. As for this movie, someone on FB said, "For those of you thinking of seeing Snow White and the Huntsman just know that its basically the same plot as Willow, except I think that in Willow the princess talks more." And that is all I know about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Visually it was astounding. The special effects are really great and it is beautifully filmed. Thanks for mentioning that the visuals are great! :001_smile: I was thinking the visuals looked fabulous from the previews (but we all know that previews can be misleading). I don't really care for the story, nor do I really like the actors in it. However, I'm sort-of wanting to see it on the big screen, just for the visual effects alone. Dd feels the same way. We'll probably go see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thessa516 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Kristen Stewart makes me itch. I just want to scream, "Close your mouth!" every time I see her. Haha! I whispered during the movie to my DH that I wish she'd close her mouth. I thought the movie was positively awful. Save your money, and don't bother renting it, either. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewellsmommy Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 My dd13 loves Kristen Stewart. She wanted me to see this movie so that I would know what a great actress Kristen was. I'm still waiting.:tongue_smilie: Since you mentioned your dd, I thought you may want to know/be warned that this same actress is in another movie, On the Road, where she is topless and with 2 men, in a car... anyway. It was on my google news thing where they had a somewhat disturbing statement from her. I know she is real popular with the young girls who love the Twilight series, and I think some kids mix up the actors with their roles sometimes. Am I making any sense? Just wanted to put that out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trilliums Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Ok--willow sounds familiar, but I am not sure if I have seen it. I find this pretty incredible because I used to have a bit of a thing for Val Kilmer. The Island of Doctor Moreau really disturbed me though.

meggie Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Don't watch Willow!!! The beginning is scary and will scar a small 4 year old girl for life. Stay away, stay away! (Ok, yes I was the 4 year old girl who saw the beginning and had nightmares and am still too scared to watch Willow. :leaving: Fine, supposedly other people really like it. Or something.

iamrachelle Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I loved Willow too... (Val Kilmer *sigh*... "You are my moon, my sun, my starlit sky. Without you, I dwell in darkness...." We saw Snow White and the Huntsman last night.... I have to say that I usually enjoy most movies we watch and rarely ever dislike a film. But this one? Save your money. It was awful.

Munchkins_mama Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 We saw it Friday night and it was horrible! :( Kristen Stewart is mediocre at best and she is such a mouth breather. ugh. The effects are amazing, but seriously dark and disturbing. There is a scene that rivals a bad 'trip' I took in high school :glare: Save your money for some movies coming soon that the previews looks really good for. Les Miserables, The Great Gatsby and a couple others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momofkhm Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 You're not the only one! LOL! He is a beautiful man! DD also 15, wants to see it for the same reason. I wouldn't mind, but I'll save my money for either the $2 theater or dvd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Spoiler alert! I agree with the previous reviews. Charlize Theron was basically the only person in the film who could act. :leaving: I wanted to like it, I love fairy tales, even as an adult, but I came away with the impression that Kristen Stewart was made of wood, Chris Hemsworth is pretty, but not a very good actor (actually, I had this impression from The Avengers, too :blush:), and I was terribly disappointed in the choice of Snow White's "true love" - I really thought she should have ended up with William - and he was the better actor, IMO. :tongue_smilie: Save your money. Rent it when it comes out on video if you really want to see it. Even the effects weren't enough to overcome the overall "ehh" feeling I had, though it had its moments (mostly involving the wicked queen).

goldberry Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Please don't tell me I'm the only one who wants to see it because of.......Chris Hemsworth. :leaving: Nope, not the only one...everytime the commercial comes on, I say, "Did I mention I really like Thor? (meaning Chris Hemsworth)." DD rolls her eyes at me. I CANNOT STAND KRISTEN STEWART, either her acting or her attitude in interviews. Ugh. DD is 13 and really wants to see it, but I am undecided. Anyone willing to comment about how much spiritism/occult involved? Is it basic Snow White stuff or deeper than that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingersmom Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I liked it.

alisoncooks Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Love Willow. :D If you are looking for a Snow White-based movie, did you see Mirror, Mirror? I found that one very aesthetically pleasing and quite enjoyable. (Nothing heavy, but enjoyable. :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*~Tina~* Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I've seen it twice...loved it! :D I also thought the symbolism and allegory would make for great discussion.

Eileen Aroon Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 That review was right on. Don't waste your time. Chris Hemsworth was only good in Thor because of Kenneth Branagh's direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katilac Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 My kids liked it. I was disappointed. I didn't go in with any prejudice against Kristen Stewart, b/c I've never seen her in anything else, but her casting annoyed me on several points: ~You need a beautiful person for this particular part, or it makes no sense. She looked pretty. Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen looked beautiful. ~Putting that aside, she was very monotone. The Evil Queen ate her lunch. ~Shut your mouth, jeez! I didn't know that about her, but I noticed it right away. The visuals are striking and lovely. It felt like one of those 'missed opportunity' movies to me - it *could* have been so good. I honestly don't think they could get past the casting of Snow White (and the huntsman wasn't earning any Oscars, either). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
