review : snow white and the huntsman

i've been looking forward for this film since day one that i've found out Kristen Stewart will be playing Snow White in this famous Disney fairytale remake. and also the fact that my Thor will be playing The Huntsman, lagi lah tak sabar nak tengok filem ni. went to watch this film last Friday. memang masa opening day 1st June tu aku dah pergi tengok.

tahun ni ada 2 filem Snow White yang ditayangkan. Mirror Mirror and this one. while Mirror Mirror is basically the happier, cuter and funnier version of the fairytale, Snow White and The Huntsman is totally the opposite. it's darker, edgier and more action as compared to the original ones. oh ye, the storyline pun bukan macam yang selalu kita baca. a bit twisted. kinda modern fairytale version lah. lagi-lagi bila snow white tak jatuh cinta pun kat prince charming (dah namanya pun Snow White & THE HUNTSMAN kan ;p) and the queen is downright evil, lagi dahsyat lah jahat dia. and the mirror pun tak sama macam dalam cerita original. senang cerita memang lain lah snow white ni.

of course ada lah part yang sama macam dalam yang original tu like evil queen tu seru semangat "mirror, mirror on the wall! who is the fairest of them all?" tapi cara dia sebut tu boleh nampak lah betapa jahatnya queen tu. hmm selain tu, ada the seven dwarfs and the red apple scene yang snow white gigit tu pastu pengsan. tapi dwarfs ni tak banyak peranan pun aku rasa. bila aku tengok tu dari awal tu siap boleh terlupa pasal dwarfs dalam cerita Snow White ni. huhu...

dari segi lakonan, aku rasa paling berkesan adalah The Evil Queen kot. entah, tak tahu kenapa aku rasa yang paling menghidupkan cerita ni adalah Charlize Theron as the queen tu. mungkin sebab dia oscar winner kan. jadi lakonan dia memang mantap tip top. kira jahat dia menjadi. tapi kadang aku rasa Charlize ni terlampau cantik pulak untuk jadi queen. sebab aku rasa dia lagi cantik dari Kristen Stewart yang jadi snow white. hehe. bukanlah Kristen tu tak cantik. dia pun cantik. cuma bila Charlize sebut 'who is the fairest of them all?' siap dengan british accents tu rasa macam...'eh kau pun cantiklah' hahaha...

Kristen pulak as a NON-BELLA character is quite okaylah. nak kata hebat sangat tu takdelah. cuma kadang-kadang dia terkeluar gak lah american slang dia. padahal dia kena berdialog in british accents untuk filem ni. tapi takpelah. boleh dimaafkan. lagi satu, masa awal-awal tu, narrator ada sebut yang 'skin as white as snow, hair as dark as night with lips as red as blood' masa dia describe snow white tapi nape bibir Kristen tak merah punnnn....

Thor plak....(dia memang Thor je dihatiku, berlakon lah cerita apa pun, tetap Thor jugak!)......HANDSOMEEEE!!!! haha tu je boleh? i'm biased lah when it comes to Chris Hemsworth. sesuailah bawak watak Huntsman. dia punya irish accents pun menjadi. cuma aku frust tak banyak romance scene between Snow White and him. satu kiss jer for that 2 hours long movie?! tak best betulll...frust i frust i...sebab nak tengok Bella kiss someone rather than Edward Cullen. hehe.

Prince Charming....hmmm Prince Charming...dalam cerita ni dipanggil William. kawan Snow White dari kecik. great bower. as in pemanah ok, bukan penunduk (bow). tak banyak peranan sangat (aku ni memanjang tak banyak peranan kan haha).tapi nampak lah betapa dia sayangkan snow white.

all in all, i gave this movie 8 stars out of 10. ok lah tu kan. E!Online bagi B- je tau kauu...aku bagi 8 ni pun mainly sebab charlize theron kot. haha. and also because of it's amazing casts as well as the cinematography. cuma tang ending tu rasa macam.."eh, camtu je ker ending dia?! where's my happily ever after?!" but then again, it is said kan to be twisted version of the fairytale. dah tentu-tentulah tak sama dengan yang biasa kan.

if you are really into modern fairytale with lots of sword fighting, girl power kinda stuff and Chris Hemsworth (macam aku ni), go watch it but if you still prefer the original fairytale with sweet and cute environment, you might as well stick to Mirror Mirror.

till then...
