So, I've been searching for a thread about this movie and to my surprise I couldn't find one, so I created one.

I've been looking forward to this movie for a while. A few months back it caught my eye when I checked IMDB and noticed that a lot of fairy tale-based movies were in the making and again, only several weeks back when my sister introduced me to Snow White's soundtrack of Florence and the Machine (which is just epic).

So I finally saw it in the cinema yesterday and I really enjoyed it. The visuals were stunning and I loved how they changed the plot from the traditional fairy tale. Charlize Theron's performance as the Evil Queen was wonderful. I actually hated her and felt sorry for her throughout the entire movie, which proves her qualities as an actress. Chris Hemsworth is just yummy, so nothing can go wrong there..

But still, even though I really enjoyed the movie, I felt like something was missing in the movie, which left me unsatisfied. I'm not sure if it's Kristen Stewart's passive acting style, the lack of character development or some questions that remained unanswered. But it somehow didn't make it an extraordinary movie to me.

So I was wondering if anyone has seen this movie and what your thoughts were!

Same here. I looked forward to this movie because it looked absolutely beautiful and I wasn't disappointed. Also because I have a huge girl crush on Charlize Theron. And she was amaaazing. I was enthralled everytime she appeared on the screen. Know what else was a big attraction in the film for me? Her costumes!

To be honest, I do not get the whole craze about Chris Hemsworth. *ducks behind a shield* I mean, he is attractive but surprisingly, I don't find myself slobbering all over the idea of him like I've seen some women do.

I do agree with Will about there being something lacking in the film. I saw it weeks ago so can't really put my finger on it.

It looked rather interesting, but not enough to make me really want to go see it in the theater, but instead a movie I would certainly rent when it is released on DVD.

Although I really enjoyed the movie, I too felt like there were pieces missing to the story. I have heard that there will be a sequel though, so hopefully all of those questions and loose ends will be addressed in the second movie.

I love this movie quite a lot. I think everyone did a great job, and I like Kristen as an actress. I think in order to really appreciate her you have to ignore the Twilight hype and watch Speak, this, or Panic Room. Or Welcome to the Rileys.

It's one of my favorite films but it needs a part two because it's missing many pieces and I felt it jumped to The Huntsman love to the princess.

I didn't feel that at all. I mean, I don't see it as he already *loves* her, but I see it as she helped him come to an understanding that he wasn't doomed to be miserable for the rest of his life. As for his kiss being the one to bring her back, I also don't think that was because he already *loves* her, but rather that he will, one day, love her. Sort of like it's a prologue to a love story, but they're not quite there yet because there were more important things to deal with, and he had more healing to do anyway. His wife had died, I didn't at all see that he was already ready to fall for someone else, but Snow helped him see that he *could* fall or someone else.

Fairy tale cliches?

For example I find the waiting white horse not only acceptable [if one finds it a fairy tale cliche, for example] but in keeping with the theme that the natural world is tied to Snow White.

Also I read [on a blog review somewhere] that the appearance of the horse was too out of the blue and thus jarring and too unbelievable -- I disagree, as to my mind it's in step with the aid of the birds. It's unexpected and even convenient perhaps, but wasn't that [at least part of] the point? Nature taking a hand in its own revival?

That said, there are things about this film that I would change; and in general I think filmmakers can dare to be more subtle.

^ I agree about the horse. I mean, the animals too, on some level, knew what horrible state the kingdom was in and they at the same time knew that Snow would help save them. And it followed the whole idea of Snow White quite nicely, that she's so "wonderful" that everyone loves her, including animals.

I believe she fall for him in away or another because if you remember her last look to him; she smiled when she found him between crowds ....

Yeah, but her having feelings for him doesn't equal that she *loves* him beyond imagination. I mean, you can feel drawn to someone after spending five minutes with them, I don't find it rushed that after all they'd gone through together she was fond of him.

Exactly. The first film was too focused on everything else to end with "and they lived happily ever after", but it definitely gave both characters a chance to grow to a point where love became possible. In the next film if they are both in it, I have a hard time thinking their love won't actually bloom.
