Remember that bit in the Disney flick when Snow
White leads a raid on the evil queen’s castle? If you’re a fan of the original fairy
tale, this 21st century upgrade is likely to leave you baffled. The
tone is pitch black, the dwarves are barely in it, the Huntsman has been
inexplicably elevated to main love interest and Kristen Stewart looks somewhat bewildered
throughout as the titular heroine. Former commercials director Rupert Sanders does
a decent job at handling the large scale spectacle, although in his hands Snow White & the Huntsman feels like
it’s trying to emulate Sleepy Hollow
and Lord of the Rings.
2/5
