Charlize Theron in Snow White<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The endearing and enduring tale of Snow White has had many incarnations since the Brothers Grimm introduced it to the world in 1812.\u00a0 The most famous and family-friendly version, of course, is the 1937 animated classic by Disney.<\/p>\n

But, less-well-known, and some distinctly not for children versions include a 1933 Betty Boop cartoon; a version featuring the 3 Stooges; a 1976 X-rated version; a thriller version with Sigourney Weaver from 1997; and Shelley Duvall\u2019s 1984 Faerie Tale Theatre<\/em> live-action adaptation with Vincent Price as the \u201cfairest-one-of-all\u201d mirror.<\/p>\n

The Japanese have animated her; the current TV series, \u201cOnce Upon a Time\u201d has had a go at her; and Julia Roberts camped her up as the wicked stepmother in the recently released full-length, Mirror, Mirror.<\/em><\/p>\n

Joining this variably illustrious list now is yet another version from the minds of writers Evan Daugherty, John Lee Hancock and Hossein Amini and that of director Rupert Sanders.\u00a0 Snow White and the Huntsman<\/em> is not having any of that whistle-while-you-work sweetness or poisoned apple victimization cured by love\u2019s kiss for a happily-ever-after rescue carried off on the handsome prince\u2019s horse.<\/p>\n

This time, after about ten years in a tower, Snow White (Kristen Stewart) is coming out swinging.\u00a0 Amazingly she still in possession of all her mental and physical faculties after what appears to have been some pretty dire deprivations and isolation in her murdered father\u2019s castle.\u00a0 Snow White \u201ccomes of age\u201d and becomes not just a threat to her stepmother Ravenna\u2019s control of the stolen kingdom, but apparently also has the power to drain all the outer beauty from a woman whose inner heart and soul are consumed by evil.<\/p>\n

Like a vampire, Ravenna (Charlize Theron) must renew herself sucking all the youthful loveliness out of the kingdom\u2019s maidens.\u00a0 But, with the news of Snow White\u2019s designation as fairest in the land, the Queen needs not just Snow White\u2019s beauty but her heart as well; because, besides craving eternal beauty, Ravenna seeks immortality.<\/p>\n

Enter the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth)—a man who has loved and lost a wife of beauty and pure and loving heart like Snow White.\u00a0 He is unable to obey the killing orders of the Queen and her vicious brother (Sam Spruell), who takes the Huntsman along on his pursuit of the escaped Snow White.\u00a0 Together the Huntsman and Snow White seek the castle of the Duke whose son William (Sam Claflin) was Snow White\u2019s beloved childhood playmate.<\/p>\n

Through the Dark Forest, Snow White and the Huntsman make their bickering way; dodging and fighting off the violent attacks of Ravenna\u2019s henchmen, until they are joined by eight dwarves from the fairy land of Sanctuary.\u00a0 They recognize Snow White as \u201cof the blood\u2026who will heal the land.\u201d\u00a0 Now, far off the fairy tale mark, the movie lurches under the additional burden of Snow White-turned-Braveheart: rallying the kingdom\u2019s disenfranchised to take back their land and Snow White\u2019s rightful throne.<\/p>\n

Hoping to capitalize on their leading lady\u2019s considerable popularity after her Twilight films\u2019 mega-success, the filmmakers\u2019 work offers Stewart little opportunity to flex her acting muscles.\u00a0 As Snow White, she offers not much more than that arresting open-mouthed, piercing eyed face, which changes little, whether facing a monstrous troll, an enchanted stag or a sword-wielding army (and, is surprisingly awkward in a smiling, tender moment dancing with one of the dwarves).<\/p>\n

Theron, meanwhile, clad in outrageously gaudy costumes, stalking a blighted castle (why would Ravenna want to rule such a dismal, cheerless realm?) is a repulsive harpy whose screeching gets laughably old long before her face is consumed by America\u2019s biggest fear: wrinkled old age.\u00a0 A Universal Pictures release, rated PG-13 for violence<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
