Today I would like to tell you about the Snow White & The Huntsman DVD Movie that I recently received to review. My hubby and I are both HUGE movie buffs and like a variety of movies from different genres. Before I get started on what we thought about the movie, I want to give you some information on it.
SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN: EXTENDED EDITION
Featuring An extended Edition Not Seen in theaters, Blu-Ray Combo Pack including UltraViolet, DVD & Digital. Copy Available to own on September 11, 2012.
A Breathtaking New Vision Turns a Legendary Tale Into a Visually Stunning, Epic action-Adventure Featuring All Star Cast Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth.
Synopsis: In this spectacular action-adventure, Kristen Stewart (Twilight) is Snow White, the only woman in the land fairer than the evil queen Ravenna (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron). Ravenna wants nothing more than to destroy her young rival, but she doesn’t know that Show White has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) the queen dispatched to kill her. Together with a handsome prince (Sam Claflin) enchanted by Snow White’s beauty and power, they assemble an armed force to recapture the kingdom. This breathtaking new vision of the legendary tale from Joe Roth, the producer of Alice in Wonderland and acclaimed commercial director and state-of-the-art visualist Rupert Sanders is, in the words of Shawn Edwards, Fox-TV, A film that soars with creativity, stylistic genius and amazing battle scenes.
Our Thoughts: I am a big action-movie buff and my husband enjoys mostly comedies or adventure movies. This movie is a great combination of action, adventure and even a little bit of fantasy too!
The movie features an all-star cast with Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth. I have always been a big fan of Charlize Theron’s work.
What really impressed me is this…it is an adult version of the classic Snow White that has been brought up to modern times. The old fairy tale classics get boring pretty quickly when they are remakes…but this one totally has a new spin on that favorite old classic. The acting in this movie is top-notch in this movie and I love the storyline. I found myself cheering on Snow White and damning the evil queen!
This movie kept both hubby and I glued to our chairs as we didn’t want to miss a single minute! I really appreciated the action scenes which were believable and entertaining. For someone who is into fashion, the costuming that the actors & actresses wore in this movie were superb!
Since receiving the DVD for the review, we have watched it 4 times and each time…we saw or heard something new! This is the type of movie you can watch over and over (at least for quite awhile) and not get bored with it!
Overall, we loved it! We would rate it an 8 out of 10 on our popcorn movie scale and would definitely recommend it to all of you! Matter of fact, going to go pop some more popcorn and watch it again!
