Snow White and the Huntsman

"Mirror, Mirror on the wall.  Who is the fairest of them all?' asked the Queen.  And the Mirror replied, "You, my Queen, are the fairest of all."

Many of us grew up reading the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.  Alright, Disney's cartoon then.  Snow White and the Huntsman is the modern twist of our beloved classic fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm.

The beautiful evil Queen rules the land with her magic with an eternal quest for youth and beauty.  Snow White whose heart is pure as snow is the chosen one to break the Queen's curse.   She defeats the Queen and regain her rightful throne.

The movie offers a new twist to Snow White's true prince when she swallowed the poison apple.   It still puzzled me greatly with the obsession of men kissing a dead corpse.  Not cool.   I kind of think about Necrophilia, which shouldn't be mix into children's story.

Rating:  3.5 out of 5 fairy clouds.   I notice that Kristen Stewart is forever in her messy hair and dirty looking face, and running around in forests, from Twilight to Snow White.  I guess it is a easy transition to film from one movie to the next.
