So it wants to be like the recent Clive Owen version of King Arthur, or the Gerard Butler version of Beowulf - be a more 'realistic' take on the story that inspired the legend?
There is some promise here, with Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth. It's Kristen Stewart that could be the liability; she's getting lots of ridicule outside of the Twilight hardcore faithful.
Compared to the jaw-dropping ridiculous trailer of the other Snow White film with Julia Roberts - Mirror Mirror - this looks much better.

Plus, this one has Ian McShane as a dwarf. WIN!

Thor?
I'm confused. I mentioned it in the Flux thread...but not here.
I gave Thor a 7 out of 10. That's a great score. The highest I give out are "9s" because no movie is a perfect 10: there are always mistakes.

I was joking about Chirs Hemsworth being in this movie.
AHA!
Makes sense, now.

Which reminds me, suprised more teen chicks aren't jealous of Stewart, considering the buff people she cos-stars with.
Is this you way of coming out of the closet? 😐

Though I will point out that Ms. Average Joe probably isn't working with anyone not totally ripped anymore. A bit unfair to both genders in a way.

I'd rather see a movie that was going for "childeshly silly" rather than one that tries to be serious but ends up being childeshly silly.
That's pretty well put. I will probably see Mirror Mirror just for Tarsem's visuals. It's hard to believe that's the same director who gave us The Cell and Immortals. I guess he wants to branch out and do something not so intense.
The more serious adventure take looks like it could be fun, too, though.
Okay, this looks awesome. I'm trying to be positive about teh Stewart factor - both her costars from Twilight have done other and better things, so at least the Star Wars curse isn't hanging around it. She's done other movies before and been perfectly fine. PLUS Charlize Theron PLUS Chris Hemsworth. I've watched the featurettes on costumes, characters, armies, and such, and there just seems to be many many reasons why it should be a good movie.

Agree. Terrible, terrible choice for the lead role. They are probably just using her to attract the Twilight fanbase, which is pretty huge. Obviously sales is their bottom line, not making a good movie. Stewart will not deliver, I am almost certain of it.
I am having trouble thinking of a suitable actress - anyone have suggestions?
Charlize is (still) smoking.
