An extremely well done movie, in which everything came together. Even the ending credits continued the use of the amazing graphics, accomplishing what very few movies do, making you want to watch them.
Charlize Theron did a superb job as the evil queen. Chris Hemsworth did a great job as the huntsman, though one couldn't help but think of Thor. Kristen Stewart, showed that maybe there is potential there after all, and maybe Snow White will be the turning of a new leaf for her.
Other than Disney's animated Snow White, this is very possibly the best version ever. The attempt at making the story more of an epic succeeded, without ruining it at all.
For those worried about the classic fairytale storyline, have no fear. It's all there, including true love's first kiss breaking the spell of the poisoned apple. Amazingly they manage not to focus on that, actually not even verbally mentioning it, just showing the few moments when it happens.
An almost Narnian level of magic is brought in, with a bit of Druid mythology added, giving the movie a little something extra. With a great soundtrack going along with it, Snow White and The Huntsman isn't just a must see, but very likely a must buy as well.
