Plot:
When she was a young girl, princess Snow White’s (Stewart) father the king is killed by his bride the evil Ravenna (Theron) who along with her dark army takes over the kingdom. With Ravenna feeding off the youth and beauty of the young village girls, she places Snow White into captivity until her 18th birthday. It is until then that the mirror on the wall has named Ravenna the fairest of them all and now she must kill and extract the young princess’ heart so that she (Ravenna) will forever have youth and immortality. But when Snow White escapes into the Dark Forest, the only one who has the knowledge of the terrain to retrieve her is a drinking widower huntsman (Hemsworth). He takes on the assignment until he realizes who she is and why the evil Ravenna wants her and instead decides to protect her so that she may avenge her father’s death.
Reel Talk:
Parental warning: This is not your kiddie version of Snow White! Although it has a dark overtone, this is a beautifully cinematic film. The stars Theron, Hemsworth and Stewart (who normally has a dull appreance in her Twilight films) look great in this movie. Theron , who I must say this is probably the best that I have ever seen her, will most likely get nominated for an Oscar for her riveting role as the menacing Ravenna. With the new twist to this legendary fairy tale, this is one movie you should check out.
