My Take on the Movie
I am a fan of the recent fairy tale movies that have been coming out. So I did see Mirror Mirror, and now I have watched this. This was definitely a much different look at the Snow White story. Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth did an amazing job in their roles within the movie. Both actors made me believe that they were their characters and they did a great job at this altogether. Kristin Stewart on the other hand would not have been my pick for her character. Not that she didn't fit the role, she did, but whether she was believable in this role she really was not in my perspective (but I would say similar things to her portrayal in the Twilight series as well). Overall, the movie was engaging and though darker than other fairy tale movies, it was action packed and fun. Overall, I enjoyed this, though the acting by Ms. Stewart could have been stronger.
