Specially when they're so many versions based, in this case on the same story...<br />When we were kids our parents told us all this stories and they were creepy, they had blood, murder attempts, deer hearts in a box, etc. for some reason, we grew up outside the bubble, playing with dirt, falling from trees and getting hurt.<br />Each time, the story gets a new interpretation, maybe according to the times and whoever is involved in the project. Disney's version is beautiful, as cute as animation allows but also shows knives and the scene where the hunter fails to kill SW is somewhat disturbing.<br />Then we have the turkish version from the 70s, very similar to the story we all know.<br />Between MIRROR MIRROR and SWATH, I found the comedy highly amusing. I thought it was because I saw it right after watching HOOK and I think Hook is so bad I ended up pretty disappointed. <br />Now after watching SWATH I find it interesting, except a couple things that I didn't like: The enchanted forest and the little creatures that came from inside the birds and some other items there, <br />dwarfs too little time on screen, and<br />Snow White as a warrior in shiny armor...<br />Everything else I can deal with, but those things went a little over the top spoiling the rest of the movie.<br />If I keep seeing more versions, I am afraid MIRROR MIRROR would end up being a masterpiece...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7358546979905141981.post-51443357700106571732012-06-13T16:23:48.613+01:002012-06-13T16:23:48.613+01:00THis just sounds like it has all the makings of a ...THis just sounds like it has all the makings of a camp classic.

But I really want to watch it though it won't be in theatres for sure.Gisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953187386418088952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7358546979905141981.post-77382914862096314452012-06-11T19:37:56.398+01:002012-06-11T19:37:56.398+01:00I saw it last night and mostly agree with your rev...I saw it last night and mostly agree with your review. It was an okay film, but I just felt kind of empty when it ended (and that ending is just too rushed entirely). I never felt the plot thickened properly and I must say, I think Theron seriously overplayed her role. Like, the Queen was way too over the top. Stewart on the other hand did surprisingly well - I was afraid she'd be stuck in her Bella-role forever, but she's showed us here that she can do so much more. The Huntsman... well I'm a big fan of Hemsworth as Thor, so I really just wanted to assist the man in taking a shower and get him out of that muddy film.<br />(Also, yes, the enchanted forest was silly)Ibenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286888107805731142noreply@blogger.com
