Snow White & the Huntsman

[katikat]

Yup, the movie still works for me - and still for the very same reasons: Snow White and Eric the Huntsman. These two, together, they are the reason why I love it so much. Their scenes. Everything else is just me waiting for them to pop up on the screen again, preferably together. I have so much love for them, they are, hands down, one of my favorite movie couples of the year.

Which is why I would prefer NO sequel if making one would mean dropping Kristen Stewart's Snow. I love Chris Hemsworth, Thor is my favorite Avenger etc. and so on. But SWATH worked because of BOTH actors and both parts, Snow and Eric. The possibility of Snow and Eric becoming a couple made the ending so sweet. Eric going off on his own and Snow marrying William would pretty much destroy that. So, NO!

Which brings me to my favorite scene: the ending...





... Perfection. Pure perfection. Exactly what I wanted from the movie. No huge declarations and passionate kisses because Snow wanted, first and foremost, peace for her kingdom, the movie wasn't about finding The One, the perfect love. That part was pretty much accidental for both Snow and Eric and I liked how understated it was. As I said, that bit was perfection pure.

Also, everybody and their uncle praised Charlize Theron for her part but, IMHO, she overplayed it like whoa in some places. I very much preferred Kristen's acting here. She was really good!
