Watch Snow White and the Huntsman For Free

People are voting emotionally.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Best movie ever!

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

I'm fantasy movie lover and I must admit that it's really hard to find pure fantasy movies able to take you to a completely different reality. The atmosphere is rather dark but definitely more realistic than the original snow white story. I totally love the performance of the three main characters who are incredibly convincing in their acting. While watching this movie, you will be totally absorbed by the story: a must watch for fantasy lovers!

When I watched the 1937 Disney "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" a few years ago, I was startled to see that the Evil Queen commanded the Huntsman to bring her back the heart of Snow White in a box. Thinking about that, and relating it to the present day requirement so many college students have of acquiring safe spaces to avoid such nasty information, I have to wonder if there will be a clamor to censor those old Walt Disney animated films along with tearing down statues of Confederate Generals. It shouldn't take long, keep your eyes and ears open for it.Well, there seems to be a preponderance of negative reviews for this film here in the IMDb viewer comments, probably running about ten to one against. Some of the critique is valid, but a lot of them simply parrot a standard line about Kristen Stewart's acting ability, lack of emotion, bad dialog, etc. Personally, I thought the cinematography and costuming brought the formerly animated tale to life in a credible and exciting manner. Charlize Theron's Evil Queen Ravenna was the picture of evil incarnate, while Chris Hemsworth delivered his character, The Huntsman, in a solidly conflicted manner. Of the three principals, I do concede that Snow White was the weakest, and Kristen Stewart would not have been my first choice for the role.The most intriguing part of the picture for me was that walk through the fairy Land in which the dwarfs accompanied Snow White and The Huntsman. The CGI involved in creating the animal and plant life looked quite extraordinary, and the white hart looked stunning. I didn't realize that the dwarfs themselves were shrunken down versions of established actors, though the resemblance of Beith to Ian McShane made me realize something was up. So that was an interesting element in the picture as well.I guess what I try to do is find something good to like in just about any picture and this one has it's pluses against all the minuses of the detractors. There's also something to be said about being a contrarian as well, and going against the grain. When I see that virtually everyone is piling on a movie, it suggests an element of group think to me, and I feel a lot of reviewers who might have found something good about the picture wound up going in reverse when it came time to write their comments.

In contrast to many reviewers, I really liked Kristen Stewart's performance here. She's sort of a tomboy princess, with the requisite untouchable purity that the part demands. Again in contrast to others, I find her performance subtle and intelligent--never overstated. And her beauty is iconic, which fits the classic nature of the tale. I wouldn't want some overly lush,overly "sexy" young actress in this role. Of course Charlize Theron is excellent as the evil queen, as are the rather Romanesque or perhaps Gothic visual effects. In addition, almost any movie with the great character actors Bob Hoskins and Eddie Marsen is worth watching. All in all, this movie is a fitting antidote to the saccharine nature of much Disney fare.

This is an ensemble cast although the leads are exemplary in their service of the story. Scenes are well timed and the landscapes, locations, framing and art direction are quite exceptional when compared the film-making shown in other, perhaps more generic, films released contemporaneously (and since).What the film does well is to marry the fantastical / allegorical content of the tale with a human / natural context. The locations provide suitable backdrop to the primary tone and emotion of particular scenes which should carry the viewer and the set design for close action and dialogue-driven parts are realistically executed, life-worn and substantial.Possibly what is less well achieved is the overall 'package' of the film. I watched this at home and was able to pause and return to the film. If I had been in the theatre my attention may have strayed or it may have been fatigued by the volume of the well written score.It seems unfair to haunt this film with criticism based upon the previous roles played by the cast. The optical impact, restrained visual effects, and story drive are to be most engaged with not the (unfortunately?) familiar starring actors.
