Queen Ravenna (Charlize Theron) has to keeping looking youthful no matter what…it takes! Her eerie brother (Sam Spruell) brings local peasants to the castle and the queen literally sucks the life out of them. Of course, a small price to pay to keep looking great!
The magic mirror said that her stepdaughter Snow White (Kristin Stewart), whom she imprisoned years ago, is the key to remaining young…pointing to the girl’s royal’s heart. But Snow runs away into the woods where the queen’s influence has no hold. The sovereign hires a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) to hunt down the pretty lass. But hey, he falls for Snow, not the queen!
With debutant director Rupert Sander, the other characters say what they feel and not more, making Snow White and the Huntsman a makeover of the familiar tale, not of a different take. This goes for even the famous seven dwarfs (and one!)
