The struggle between good and bad is not only between Snow White and the Evil Queen in the dark and stylish "Snow White and the Huntsman"


Incredible visuals and an impressive dark style doesn't quite save Snow White and the Huntsman from its iffy flow and stock, trademark characters


First-time director, Rupert Sanders put together a terrifically stunning visual experience but, Snow White and the Huntsman is ultimately bogged down by unsatisfying pacing and a severe lack in character development.


The script doesn't quite come up to snuff either. With many opportunities to delve deeper into Queen Ravenna and The Hunstman's character and past, the script limits these stories which in turn, lead to some holes in the story which could have been easily and brilliantly filled. 


The costumes, sets and overall style is beautiful and Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron put together some solid performances. Although not terrible, Kristen Stewart doesn't quite shake off the stigma of her Twilight acting, stumbling through with very little dimension to her performance. 


Snow White and the Huntsman - although incredibly stylish and an original and dark interpretation of the fairytale - doesn't quite live up to epic, action-adventure-film it strove to be.
