When I first saw the Twilight films, I thought Kirsten Stewart had a lot of potential, that it was just the rubbish she was working with that kept her back. Now, I see it was a perfect match of rubbish material and useless actress. Nice to hear Charlize Theron still knows what she's doing, though.

...So in other words, Charlize Theron is to this movie what Alan Rickman was to Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves?
If Charlize Theron's screams out "I'll cut your heart out with a spoon!" I'm going to this movie.

Damn I really wanted to see this ... and I will - afterall it doesn't sound like a total mess?!

Just needa find a movie theater close-by which presents this in English because ... ehm this time the german synchro sucks balls (especially - and sadly - the queen sounds the worst).

Here is what I have come to hate from this generation of fans. I mean, this kind of focus didn't even exist before Twilight came out (there were no "teams" in Harry Potter at first...)
Really, the whole team thing is just using a word to qualify a side. Stuff like this in fandoms didn't just start happening in the last few years.

I mean look at the old squabbles about who's the best captain in the Star Trek franchise. If that had developed during this day and age, we would have Team Kirk and Team Picard.

Yes, there weren't "teams" back in the day, but there were of course "sides" as in most fandoms. All it is is changing one word.

It has a different name but it is the same old tune with fans.

Every time I hear about this movie, I think about the little commercial interview where the blond chick says how "fantastical the movie is" and it makes me cringe.

What a shame, it looked kind of interesting from the trailers, I was sort of hoping for it to be a surprise hit.

Also, is it just me, or does Bob have a very unhealthy obsession with The Tanooki Suit?
It's not just you, I'm starting to worry for him :S

"No discernible character"

So.. pretty average role for Kristen Stewart then?

Wasn't really planning on watching this movie so it's nice to know it's one I can ignore until it appears on TV.

Wow Bob, that joke at the end was epic, I couldn't stop laughing for 15 minutes. :)

That said, I got the impression that this movie got made because the movie version of "Red Riding Hood" as a feminized werewolf movie was apparently a success, if not at the box office and critically, apparently though it's video releases. Leading people to believe that mid-budget feminized fairy tale movies could be a reliable way to make money. Snow White being one of the classic metaphorical stories, and not as heavily used as say "Cinderella".

As far as Kristen Stewart goes, I've heard it said that she's a sort of projective chameleon (as much as that makes sense). Her lack of range and acting abillity is sort of the point, her big gimmick is that she's not ugly, but not fabulously beautiful either, and is easy to present in a way that the female audience can believe she is wildly beautiful but not actually being there and closer to what most of them are IRL they can associate with her as part of the fantasy. We're watching this stuff as a movie, and evaluating the movie on it's own merits as far as acting and presentation, not so much on levels of how much of an opening an actress leaves for one to project oneself into the movie if that's your kind of thing.

She's sort of like one of those little kids in old cartoons that were supposed to be audience surrogates, except in her case it apparently works, I'd expect to see a lot more of her in the coming years as this type of movie becomes increasingly popular.

I have no reason to doubt that, and I can kind of see it... so that might very well be why she keeps getting all these roles.

If you asked "why?" during The Avengers, a lot of it wouldn't make sense either. Although, this movie doesn't have the geek wish fulfillment of seeing 5 heroes come together, thus allowing you and others to forgive all of its flaws.

I hate stopping a video mid-way to comment, but if you've spent half the review explaining WHY they made a Snow White movie...

Well that alone says volumes about the film in of itself doesn't it?

Too bad Theron's campy-ness isn't enough to Eclipse Stewart's lack of emotion. And wouldn't Snow White have to technically be alive in the first place for the apple thing to work?
Dude, you come up with the best burns.
Seriously, Bob, what did you expect from a Kristen Stewart performance in a fantasy flick? One episode of MAD looked, based on her facial expressions, that she always looks like she'd rather be somewhere else.

I don't agree with that, I tend to think the Avenger's follows it's own internal logic quite well.

I wasn't into this at all then one of my friends started obsessing over it and I got kind of interested. Now... :/ Well, it could kill two hours.
