Snow White & The Huntsman

Snow White and The Huntsman is not only one of the best films this year, it's also a cinematic masterpiece. This Film takes the story of Snow White to a whole new level.
Trust me when I say, this ain't Walt Disney's Version.
In the beginning of the film we are introduced to how the Evil Queen Ravenna came to be. Seriously this Queen is Evil. She is obsessed with staying young and being the fairest of them all and she will do whatever it takes to do so. But in order for her to stay that way, she has to take the life of a younger woman, so that she can continue to stay young and beautiful forever.
In Ravenna's quest for beauty, she comes to find from her trusted mirror, that their is of course one who is more fair than she, Snow White. Ravenna has kept Snow White prisoner in the top of the castle tower since she was a young girl, but one day Snow White escapes beyond the castle gates and into the dark forest.
The Queen then sends The Huntsman out to find her because she needs Snow Whites heart, so that she never has to worry of aging again. Upon finding the princess, and discovering her true identity (the Queen didn't bother to tell The Huntsman who he was going after), the huntsman decides then that he will help her in her effort to escape as far as she can from the clutches of Ravenna, and help her fight for her kingdom.
I could go on and on with the plot of this film, but their is so much to go over. The visual effects in this film are beyond anything that I have ever seen. Some of my favorite parts involved The Dark Forest and the enchanted realm that Snow White and the Huntsman are introduced to by the Seven Dwarfs, which include some enchanted forest creatures, much like something we would see in a Walt Disney Film.
Not to mention the Stellar Acting from all who were involved in this movie.
Charlize Theron was a true Beast as Ravenna the evil queen. She was spot on in this film and I would even go so far as to say that her performance is Award Worthy. Kristen Stewart who played Snow White did well. I was nervous because of her Twilight films, but she stepped out of the box for this one. And Chris Hemsworth who played The Huntsman was fantastic.
Great Film! I wouldn't recommend this for younger audiences because this version of Snow White is Darker than any before.
It is however my new favorite telling of the Snow White fairytale.
