My Take on the "Snow White & The Huntsman" Movie

It was a good movie that I really enjoyed, except I couldn't help but notice one thing...Now we all know the "Snow White" story, we all know how it goes so it's not like I'm going all Spoiler Alert!! So when she "dies" and gets brought back to life, it wasn't a big shock or anything, because it's based on the Fairytale...That wasn't the part that I was like "WTH" about. No the part that I was in awe about was the fact that yes I admit it I watch the "Twilight" movies, (quit judging Me, like ya'll ain't secretly watching them too) so after watching them this was the 6th movie that I watched that showed Kristen Stewart being really weird the whole way through, leading up to the part where she "died" overly dramatic, and then "woke up" all "oh look at me I wake up with perfect hair and skin"...Look up a Picture of her from that movie. Seriously, Right Now. I’ll wait for you…(Enough “Google” time has passed)

See what I mean?? Who has hair like that, when their knocking on Heaven's Door? I mean Seriously? Come on!! It's just not right, and I call foul!! Other than that fact that is a big ole Obvious it was a good movie...Can't really go wrong with the eldest of the Hemsworth brothers. Really? What did their Momma do when she was all prego to make them Boys turn out to look the way they do? I bet their Daddy is one fine man, cause them Guys are Gorgeous! For those of you that don’t know who He is…“Google” Again My Friends! I’ll wait! (Waiting…)

Told you He was Gorgeous!! Just saying! Just putting it out there!! Anyhoos...Let Me give you a Description of the Movie if You haven't already watched it(Thanks to Wiki of course, aka My GoTo). Snow White and the Huntsman is a 2012 UK-American fantasy film based on the German fairy tale "Snow White" compiled by the Brothers Grimm. The film is directed by Rupert Sanders and written by Evan Daugherty, John Lee Hancock, and Hossein Amini. The cast includes Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, and Bob Hoskins (in his final role before retiring from acting). The film received two Oscar nominations for Best Visual Effects and Best Costume Design at the 85th Academy Awards.

Spoiler Alert!! (Not really we all know the “Snow White” Fairytale) Snow White is the Princess of Tabor and daughter of King Magnus and Queen Eleanor. After his wife's death, King Magnus marries the beautiful Ravenna after rescuing her from the Dark Army, an invading force of glass soldiers. Ravenna, who is in fact a powerful sorceress and the Dark Army's master, kills Magnus on their wedding night after noting that men like him exploit the beauty of women and discard them. As Ravenna usurps control of the entire kingdom, Duke Hammond escapes the castle with his son William, but is unable to rescue Snow White, who is captured by Ravenna's brother Finn. Snow White is then locked away in the north tower of the castle. Tabor is ruined under Ravenna's rule as she periodically drains the youth from the kingdom's young women in order to maintain a spell once cast by her mother which allows her to keep her beauty. When Snow White comes of age, Ravenna learns from her Magic Mirror that Snow White is destined to destroy her unless Ravenna consumes the young girl's heart, which will make her immortal. Ravenna orders Finn to bring her Snow White, but she escapes into the Dark Forest, where Ravenna has no power. Eric the Huntsman, a widower who has survived the Dark Forest, is brought to Ravenna, who orders him to lead Finn in pursuit of Snow White. He belligerently refuses because he doesn't think he can survive in the dark forest. She then threatens to kill him and finally persuades him when she promises to revive his deceased wife, Sarah. The Huntsman tracks down Snow White in the Dark Forest but refuses to hand her over to Finn until he knows Ravenna will keep her word. When Finn says that Ravenna cannot resurrect the dead and that Eric is a fool, the Huntsman fights Finn and his men while Snow White runs away. Later Eric catches up to her and Snow White promises him gold if he will escort her to Duke Hammond's castle. Finn gathers another band of men to find Snow White. Duke Hammond learns that Snow White is alive and has fled into the Dark Forest. William, Snow White's childhood friend, argues with his father and then leaves the castle to find Snow White. Later he joins Finn's band as a bowman in order to find her. Eric and Snow White leave the Dark Forest, and encounter a huge troll. Eric tells Snow White to run while he attacks the troll which quickly knocks him out. Snow White has not run away and saves them by charming the troll. They then encounter a group of women in boats who take them to a fishing village populated by women who have disfigured themselves in order to escape Ravenna. While there, Eric learns Snow White's true identity. He then leaves her in the care of the women but returns when he sees the village being burned down by Finn's men. Snow White and the Huntsman evade them and eventually meet a band of eight dwarves (Beith, Muir, Quert, Coll, Duir, Gort, Nion, and Gus). A blind Muir perceives that Snow White is the daughter of the former king, and the only person who can defeat Ravenna and end her reign. As they travel through a fairy sanctuary, the group is attacked by Finn and his men. The Huntsman battles Finn and kills him after Finn taunts him with details of his murder of Eric's wife. William reveals himself and helps defeat Finn's men while Gus is killed. William joins the group which continues the journey to Hammond's castle. Ravenna disguises herself as William and tempts Snow White into eating a poisoned apple, but is forced to flee when the Huntsman and William discover her. William kisses Snow White — whom he believes to be dead — without seeing that she has shed a solitary tear. She is taken to Hammond's castle. As she lies in repose, the Huntsman professes his regret for not saving Snow White, who reminds him of his wife, and kisses her, breaking the spell; she awakens after a second tear has fallen. Snow White walks into the courtyard and gives a passionate speech to the Duke and his forces. She takes leadership of the Duke's army and the Army travels to battle Ravenna. The dwarves infiltrate Tabor through the sewers and open the gates, which allows the Duke's army to invade the castle. Snow White confronts Ravenna, but is overpowered. Ravenna is about to kill Snow White and consume her heart when she uses one of the moves Eric taught her on Ravenna and kills her, telling her that she cannot have her heart. Duke Hammond's army is victorious. The kingdom is once again in order and peace as Snow White is crowned Queen.

And that is what I think about the Movie, and some things ya'll might want to know about it. I don't know why I feel the need to "Review" Movies, TV Shows, Books, or Anything Else for that matter, like it's my job or something, but I really like to and since I can I shall.
