Snow White and the Huntsman

Trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY67V0wOlz8

I'm conflicted by this. One one hand, I loooove dark fantasy, and the trailer makes this movie look really beautiful. Also, Charlize Theron is amazing, and I'm growing quite fond of Chris Hemsworth.

On the other hand, I've only ever seen Kristen Stewart in Twilight and thought she was awful. I'm cringing at the thought of her putting on a British accent. I dunno, maybe she's better in her non-Twilight movies, but her casting here reeks of a cash cow. OMG, it's Bella! The teen girls will descend on Snow White and the Huntsman like a pack of ravening wolves!

I'll probably still see it, if only to encourage Hollywood to make more dark fantasy, damn it! But I'm worried.

I think this is but one of two Snow White themed movies coming out next year.

looks alright just might see it when it comes around to the release.

I don't know what you guys are on, this looks completely retarded.

We aren't "on anything", we just like a movie you don't so you're getting butt hurt about it? Cool story bro!

Lol, I don't seem to be the one butt hurt bro. I just think it looks stupid as hell.

Well, if it's any consolation, Robert Pattinson's first movie outside Twilight - "Water for Elephants," was jaw-droppingly good. It didn't receive much credit, but Pattinson was perfect for the role - he spoke with a Polish accent, was dramatic without being melodramatic... with Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz they pretty much made a jewel of a movie.

So one half of the "Twilight team" did really well stepping out. Stewart played Joan Jett in that movie from a few years ago - was that good?

Who's retarded now?

Well technically the question was never about 'who' was retarded, but 'what' was retarded. A movie is not a person, silly.

Ok well define what you feel is "retarded" by this film.

I see an interesting twist in an age old fairy tale.
Decent enough acting.
Some nice action sequences, not to mention visually beautiful.

Well Snow White riding into battle in full plate mail with the 7 dwarves is pretty retarded. Its like 'what the christ?'

Also the 'interesting twist' seems to be 'Lets Hollywood the SHIT out of this movie!' Its the exact same thing they did with Alice in Wonderland. Why the hell was Alice fighting with a ****ing sword!? Lewis Caroll was rolling in his grave so fast he reached 88 miles per hour and invented rock and roll.

Ever read Alan Moore's League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen?

Nice twists on legendary characters, no one screamed blasphemy.

Plus a female warrior riding into battle with dwarves... sounds a bit too childish like LOTR eh.

Esau, don't feed the trolls.

I have over 13,000 posts and can debate you under the table son. I am not a 'troll.' 😐

The difference is that Alan Moore is a genius and having them twisted like that actually served a narrative and thematic function.

Yes, it sounds like LotR. Which is entirely the point. With the success of LotR comes people trying to jump on the bandwagon. Theres been a steady shift towards Fantasy lately with Harry Potter, the Pirates movies and LotR being financial and critical successes. Alice in Wonderland was the same thing. Alice in Wonderland has brand recognition and its fantasy so it'll draw the crowds, but the story itself is nonsensical and undramatic. So Hollywood makes it simpler and has Alice swordfighting dragons and shit. Same thing here: Brand recognition, fantasy story but too bland in its original form, so they Hollywood it up, add swordfight and you have a marketable movie. Its all designed to appeal to the largest number of people, right down to the casting decisions.

Also its utterly stupid.

Then go don't forcing your opinion onto others then.

How am I forcing my opinions on anyone?

I'm with Nephy.

When I saw that..I was like...WTF??!?!?!?!?! REALLY?

I do not know why I was irritated with it. I should not be. It looks decent. But I just can't but get over how utterly and completely retarded this looks. You know, IF it was the original story, then he Disney movie would seem kind of funny in it's adaptation. However, this is NOT the original story and it is much more modern. Meh. Oh well. Who cares. I'll see it.
