Actually I recognized her immediately from Zathura (lol) when I first saw her in Twilight.
I don't know if you are defending her as an actress or not, but doesn't matter what else she has been in, she is just bad at acting.
This looks entertaining, at least. I never would have thought the story of Snow White could be made into a LOTR-style epic..

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?
Scarlett Johansson. 👆 👆 Or maybe Jessica Alba. 👆
My special lady expressed some rather enthusiastic interest in seeing this, so I'll probably see it this weekend. It's gotten some mixed reviews (RT), but sounds like it'll at least be entertaining. It's all just to hold me over until next weekend when Prometheus drops... oh sweeeet lord...

Lol, but seriously... if she didn't express such interest I'd probably wait for DVD or something. *shrug*

Haha, yeah, bad Snow White casting, I agree. They clearly just wanted the Twilight crowd. Charlize Theron is older, but she's still hotter.
This was Snow White for the Hot Topic / Emo crowd. It has a pretty impressive production and Charlize Theron is a good evil Queen, but Kristen Stewart is a terrible Snow White and it just didn't have the charm that it should have had, imo. I think it's pretty obvious that casting Stewart was just a gimmick to get Twilight fans in the theater to see it, cuz she's definitely not a good Snow White. There is some humor, though, which helped the film a lot, I think. I'd say wait for DVD or something. I actually liked Mirror Mirror better. It had real dwarves. I felt kind of cheated that the dwarves weren't real little people... lol
The troll was my favorite part, though. That part was cool.

Leech, you must have not seen any of the interviews or press releases 'cause she's supposed to be a stark contrast to the source material; from the start they said she has an edge and that she's not the wide eyed damsel in distress type.
No, I didn't read any of the press releases or whatever, but that's all fine and good. What doesn't make sense, though is that if Snow White was to die, then it would have given the Queen all the power she needed, so for Snow White to go sticking her neck out like she does seems a bit foolish. *shrug* Good production, but poor script/dialogue in my opinion. The script and story could have been polished a bit more to match the production value. And the ending seemed very understated when it should have been a bit more extravagant. I think they were afraid to stray from the dark/emo style too much, which was kind of dumb.
Anyway, I don't really recommend it, other than for (very) mindless entertainment. Some of the visuals do look pretty cool on the big screen, though.
And another thing the movie sort of avoids bringing up:
Spoiler:
The 7 dwarves sneaking into the castle... how the hell did they get in via that tunnel on the cliff? They just sort of skip past all that, but it seems like it would have been quite a task.
not bad for an original take on the movie..
Spoiler:for some reason there were 8 dwarves..
i was hoping for the troll to be in a more badass scene, but after the screaming match with snow white, it ran away.. meh..
Spoiler:and charlize.. hot damn, she was a good evil queen.. all i kept thinking when she was there being evil and shit is "f*ck, that is one psycho b!tch!"
well, one died, so there you go there.. maybe an extra one for "expandability."
Spoiler:
the part where she fed the people her bath milk was the bitchiest part..
as for casting stewart, it was a success because there were a shit load of twi-hards out there.. as for the role itself, not so much.. there is a part where she gives a monologue to the soldiers.. you know the part where you normally get chills, like when william wallace, king theoden and the president from independence day gave their speeches, and then you just know they were gonna f*ck shit up.. she didn't have that.. not sure if standards are too high, or stewart has magic sucking powers..
Spoiler:
this is the part where that futurama fry meme is supposed to go..
