'Snow White and the Huntsman': A Punk Fairy Tale With Too Much Plot

The plot is very bad. I feel that the two-hour plot development is a temporary piece. In fact, it should be called "Twilight 5: Thor vs. The Witch: The Lord of the Rings Prequel". Universal does not know if it was broken or his head was caught in the door. Dropped $170 million, betting on an advertising director.

The biggest problem lies in the feasibility and balance of the story. The film attempts to create a flesh-and-blood dark queen with her own bitter history of blood and tears, giving a brutal reason that can be justified, and abruptly turning the fairy tale into reality. The above treatment is indeed very attentive. After such a complicated and tedious description, the image of the queen is far more attractive than that of Snow White. In this way, the images of Snow White and the Hunter are weak. In theory, too much space should not be spent on them. Only in this way can the film achieve balance.

Unfortunately, I can only express great regret for the director's ability to schedule actors and scenes. The positioning of actors and scenes is unbalanced, and it is only unilateral to get what they need. They are all illusory and rootless, and beauty is beautiful, but no character or plot can deeply penetrate the hearts of the people and firmly grasp the audience. Of course, Charlize Theron's performance and appearance are very amazing. There is no doubt that she can't save several plays by herself. Stewart's looks are a bit worse, and his acting skills are a lot worse.

It feels like all the costs are invested in the actors' pay and special effects production. The Lord of the Rings, "Milk Bath", giant beasts, dwarfs, fairyland, goblins, insects, from the perspective of visual effects, it is worthy of the Oscar nominated film for best visual effects. Others, similar to "Clash of the Gods", don't have to be too demanding.

Hunter has a line: "I'm sorry, I let you down." This is actually for the audience.

    Finally released a high-definition version. Kill without subtitles.. Completely subvert Zuo’s impression of Snow White’s fairy tale Karma... Charlize Theron's role as the Queen of Karma is definitely much more amazing than Kristen's role as Kristen.

    See Snow White on Children's Day! The script is not strong, but it is not easy to adapt without random adaptation. The inside of the globe is better than Robin Hood the year before, and better than Wrath of the Gods and John Carter during the year. Finally, a director who doesn't even have a personal profile on IMDb, it's really good to make his debut like this.
