Director Rupert Sanders' Snow White & The Huntsmen takes the dark overtones of the original fariytale and enthusiastically runs with it.
The idea has potential to be quite a startling piece of cinema, nodding it's head to Guillemero Del Toro and Ridley Scott, but doesn't quite reach that height. Riddled with some uneven acting, a mess of a plot and forced moments that seem it's trying to hard to be different from previous incarnations of the tale. Strengthened by strong female roles, (particularly Charlize's slightly over-the-top performance) and some glimpses of great imagination, Snow White's world could have been wonderful and begs to be further explored.

Smash the mirror. It's already broken if it thinks Kristen Stewart is fairer than Charlize Theron.
The mirror was super cool. Not quite sure what it was...but really cool and uber-creepy.
No smashing that thing.
