    Looks like an interesting idea, but a little too stupid.

    Could be awesome if it's anything like the trailer. I don't know about Kristen Stewart though. I fear it will be more lip-biting than actual acting on her part.

    I'm not a big fan of "bella" but Thor kicks!!! and the cgi on this film is beyond amazing, a version of the tale I think I may enjoy

    Charlize Theron. Chris Hemsorth. Viggo Mortensen. Even if nothing else works in this film, it would still be fun to watch this amazing cast doing what they do best. Count me in on this one.

    If they nail this, it could be one of the best movies of this summer. If not, it can't be too bad. The director sounds like he cares a lot about the movie and genuinely wants it to be great.

    Rupert Sanders has done a brilliant job here, not only in the style, which I really liked, but he drained performances from his actors brilliantly. On good form is Kristen Stewart who firstly does okay with a British accent and secondly delivers a strong enough performance to car... read morery the film. Its a welcome change to see her playing a strong female character. Charlize Theron steals the show with her stunning face and deliciously evil performance. The only real let down is Chris Hemsworth who delivers a forgettable performance with a not so forgettable dodgy Scottish accent. It's not perfect though, with a much stronger second half than first you will struggle to recall the opening 40 minutes, and the pacing is up and down throughout. It's a pretty film though, the cinematography is lovely, and while it won't be remembered at the end of the year, it's certainly a decent trip to the cinema this summer.

    The dark story of Snow White I'm interested too

    Could be good. Nice cast.

After a while, you just sit back and let the thing wash over you, marveling and giggling as necessary. Full Review

"Snow White and the Huntsman" never quite delivers on its promise -- a dark retelling of the fairy tale in which women hold the true power, good and evil -- but it certainly is an attractive misfire. Full Review

Snow does earn top billing, but don't be fooled: This film belongs to the Oscar-winning Theron, who sinks her talons into the killer part, making every snarl and outburst such wicked, cruel fun to beh... Full Review

This slightly overstuffed entertainment rises, in part thanks to [Hemsworth], to one of the most pleasant surprises of the summer movie season so far. Full Review

Christy Lemire, Associated Press

Astonishingly beautiful and breathtaking in its brutal imagery, Snow White & the Huntsman is thrilling and frightening in equal measure, yet as bereft of satisfying substance as a poisoned apple. Full Review

Roger Moore

Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service

In the battle of the dueling queens, Oscar winner Theron comes up short against the regally evil Julia Roberts of "Mirror Mirror." Full Review

Nick Pinkerton

Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice

A film that's considerably longer than it needs be, in which the evocative eloquence of storybook pictures is consistently garbled by the need to overexplain and psychoanalyze. Full Review

David Edelstein, New York Magazine

The movie's revisionist tone is startlingly enough to carry you along. Full Review

Katey Rich, CinemaBlend.com

Sanders has approached a classic fairy tale with a few strong visual ideas and a very game Charlize Theron, and it's almost impressive how little he's managed to make of it. Full Review

Ed Gonzalez

Ed Gonzalez, Slant Magazine

As feminist fantasy, the film is non-committal, and as a reimagining of the fairy tale, it's at best expensive-looking without seeming wantonly so. Full Review
