It truly is Kristen Stewart who steals the show from Snow White And The Huntsman. Despite the big special effects in the film, it is Stewart who manages to deliver a performance that proves her actually worthy of the role. Absent is the stumbling uncertainty of Bella Swan (though there are moments when Stewart has to play Snow White as confused or hurt). When Snow White is trained to be a leader, Stewart takes the role and works it. The idea of Kristen Stewart with authority or gravitas in a role will never be put in doubt again once audiences take in Snow White And The Huntsman! Stewart is able to level a steely glare that works and there is something about the way she sets her jaw that defines determination exceptionally well.Ultimately, Snow White And The Huntsman is an engaging action adventure movie and it satisfies the adult/twentysomething desire to re-experience fairy tales in a more adult context. Not for young children, Snow White And The Huntsman is a visual treat that is a surprisingly direct, uncomplicated story that capitalizes well on the current fascination in pop culture with fairy tales.

About Chris and Charlize:Chris Hemsworth manages to play the Huntsman as a strong individual without simply retreading his interpretation of Thor. In fact, one of the few likable character aspects of Hemsworth’s Huntsman in Snow White And The Huntsman is that the character is cautious and smart. Moreover, Sanders does not capitalize on Hemworth’s looks. In Snow White And The Huntsman, Chris Hemsworth is sweaty and dirty and he looks like a guy who is used to being out in the woods. And Hemsworth pulls it off (even if he doesn’t keep to one distinct accent for his lines). Charlize Theron, who is looking to have a pretty awesome two weeks whatwith Snow White And The Huntsman and Prometheus making their debuts back to back, does what she can with the somewhat monolithic character of Raveena. Like many fairy tales, Snow White And The Huntsman does not provide the viewer with a truly satisfying reason as to why the antagonist wants absolute power. Her insecurity is fairly well-documented, but Raveena’s passion to stay alive and beautiful is not terribly compelling. Theron does what she can with the role, though more often than not, she makes Raveena an icy despot, as opposed to a character with more depth or apparent cunning.

Kristen has donkey ears and is kind of a random pretty... If that. There are few moments I actually find her appealing so it's... hard for me to see her in this way. Even with the long hair and in all these clips, she looks promising but damn, she is just so... not attractive. Snow had a lot more going for her in the tale but still... It just bugs me. I can't see her pulling it off. Everything around her looks amazing though so I will 100% see this movie. I'm really hoping she changes my mind. I'm not stupid enough to not see something just because of my dislike of her in the role. Besides, the first thing I ever saw her in was Panic Room and I love that movie. I thought she was great in it and dead on par to be Jodie's daughter. Snow is just... I guess I have greater expectations with my childhood tales.

I wouldn't say she's unattractive, she's just average. I want to see the movie but I already saw clips of her speaking & she slipped out of that fake accent too many times which annoyed me to no end. I 'm not sure if I can look past that.

She got praised for "On the Road" where they say she's the highlight of the film by critics! I guess Twilight is basically the only thorn on her side although critic's liked her performance in the last one.
