I understand the want to make fairy tale women stronger, and less of the victim, I do. But, at least when you do it, make a better movie. "Snow White and the Huntsman" obviously wants to be whatever fantasy movie it can pay homage to, but fails at finding enough of its own personality to be any good. Honestly, despite a little overacting (mostly from Charlize Theron, surprisingly), the cast did a pretty good job, and director Rupert Sanders, and cinematographer Greig Fraser, make the film somewhat of a visual treat. The writing is where I had the most problem, or whomever decided to pack in as much of "The Lord of the Rings", "The Neverending Story", and any Guillermo Del Toro film, as they possibly could.
