Thank God we're near the end of the 2022 year because I'll admit when I say that yes 2012 was a better year for movies and not all just superhero films but then once I've re-watched some of these films, I had this utter feeling that this wasn't going to be as good as I remembered. Now granted Snow White and the Huntsman is one of my personal guilty pleasures, but in all honest what really saves the movie itself was merely the supporting cast of Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron and for her over the top acting and Hemsworth character arc in the story, which I find interesting. I think the way that this movie came into development was that shows like Once Upon a Time became popular on ABC aka Absolute Bull Crap, and Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland was a massive hit that they decided to turn this into a Ridley Scott style epic but with a fairy tale twist, but deep down what makes this movie fantastic is Charlize Theron's over the top acting for which is the reason why she's awesome when it comes to dumb action movies let’s be honest.
Queen Ravenna (Charlize Theron), who seized control of her kingdom by marrying its rightful ruler, needs the life force of young maidens to maintain her beauty. However, to become truly immortal, Ravenna must consume the heart of her stepdaughter Snow White (Kristen Stewart). Snow escapes, and Ravenna dispatches a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) to capture her. But Snow, the huntsman and a rebel army join forces to destroy Ravenna and restore balance of life and death.
Now keep this in mind I'm not recommending this film because now having not seen it for quite a long time I don't know whether to recommend this movie for giggles or just avoid this all together. The fact that this movie was developed with the success of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland is just beyond my understanding of why, but in all fairness, I don't think I would ever get the enjoyment out of watching Charlize Theron over acting in every scene. Speaking of Charlize Theron, this was her second film that came out in the year 2012 along with Prometheus and in all honesty I don't know which was her best performance between both films, though I would have to go with this movie for many reasons in Prometheus she was playing a typical cooperate b***h with no emotions which explains so much about her, but with this movie it's obviously fantasy but she's doing in over the top acting that's just so funny to watch especially when she's trying to play this scary villain but the way she was just trying to be scary is just hilarious to me, moreover I'm just curious if she ever went to the movie premiere because she's afraid to see how bad her performance was, though I kind of doubt it because she also returned for the sequel. The main reason in why this film is so special is that this was the very movie that ended the Twilight couple of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson because Ms. Stewart was having in affair with the director of the film for which sort of ended her career and pretty much destroyed his because he obviously was thinking with his private parts and they were defiantly dirty because I did some calculations and director Rupert Sanders was forty-one years old when he plowed Kristen Stewart who was twenty-two years old during that time of filming, but I'm sorry but any language in any southern part of the United States or any country that's just wrong, hell even I feel dirty just calculating on how old those two were. I honestly am not going to say much about Kristen Stewart mainly because she honesty wasn't all that great in this movie so we're all just going to leave it at that despite one compliment is saying that she does overdo it when it comes to rallying the troops, although it's kind of interesting that they make Snow White to be this Joan of Arc type of a character. Anyway, back to real talk the other thing I find fascinating fact about the casting for Chris Hemsworth's part was that there were five actors ahead of him that were considered for the role actors like Tom Hardy, and Michael Fassbender I can see but deep down I don't believe Hardy would consider this movie, but the three I couldn't believe were offered were Viggo Mortenson, Johnny Depp and Hugh Jackman. Mortenson, I believe wouldn't take the role, but Johnny Depp and Hugh Jackman I would never in a million years watch because this was after Pirates 4 and in all honesty, what is he going to do? Be goofy and just a complete ass, in order to get a joke out of the audience? And even if Hugh was cast, I would look at it as the worst because there was only one movie out of his career other than the Wolverine films that was good and that was the Prestige. So deep down I think Thor was the better choice. A lot of the action sequences and some of the Evil Queen’s kingdom almost felt like it was shot as a Ridley Scott film with some of the Medieval looking landscapes and feel that we just stepped into the rough part of England or France, like I can tell a huge difference between this movie and the sequel and that's the movie feels like it was directed by Ridley Scott and the sequel feels like a fairytale/adventure movie. With this movie you can see all of the flaws and say to yourself what I can do better if you change this or recreate one character's backstory, like all of these things are in this movie and that's why I consider this a guilty pleasure because I can look at this movie and see what I can do better or make it better, unfortunately this movie has already been made so there really no point in losing your mind over it. I'd honesty say don't buy this movie or rent it if it's free and Netflix or HBO Max I would then recommend but deep down I wouldn't waste your time in renting this movie.
