Destaco que afirman que la Kikis no es más guapa que Charlize y que no es creíble que pretenda serlo. Manolito lleva el peso de la película, le viene muy grande y fue mal elegida para este papel. La película es una copia de otras como Alicia en el país de las maravillas o El señor de los anillos. Pero lo que más destaco es que se repite lo de siempre: la Kikis es tan inexpresiva como siempre y ves a Bella Swan en vez de a Blancanieves. Elogios para Charlize y Chris y tomates para la Kikis.
Vamos, que la película no vale nada y ella menos. (La foto es muy buena. Sale horrible con ese ojo cagado y esa super napia)
Universal was brave choosing first-time feature director Rupert Sanders
for "Snow White and the Huntsman," and the result is a muddled riff that
wants to be "Lord of the Rings," "Braveheart," Robin Hood," "Willow"
and "Alice in Wonderland" all at once. They beat the fairytale-revival
piñata and this is what came out. With Charlize Theron as the evil
queen and Kristen Stewart as Snow White, we hoped for something gritty
(within the confines of a PG-13 studio film) that would at the very
least help empower its tween and teen girl demographic, taking the fairy
tale in a feminist direction.
Basing an entire movie around the idea that Stewart is more beautiful
and charismatic than Theron is problematic, and isn't believable for a
second. Stewart was woefully miscast and given an unfairly heavy load to
carry; the talent she has won't be highlighted in roles like this (or
as Bella Swan in "Twilight") which continue to bury the spark we saw in
her in 2007's "Into The Wild." Were Theron's Ravenna written with the
depth it hints at in the beginning, audiences would likely find
themselves rooting for her in the end over the lackluster Snow White,
who is forced into saccharine CGI-settings with nothing to do but have a
sparkle in her eye and would-be epic battle sequences that only
highlight the narrative's failure to make her a believable leader to
"end the darkness."
This is not a feminist take on Snow White, no matter how badly it wants
to be. It tells us beauty is power, and then never successfully
subverts that message because Stewart's Snow White is just the stand-in
for a heroine who could actually prove otherwise. A feminist retelling
requires more than a girl riding a horse with pants and a sword and
ending up with a crown on her head -- here these token images read as
the consolation prize for an audience that is assumed to be stupid.
Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman manages to bring what little soul there
is and the Dwarfs provide a dash of diverting comic relief. The cast
does what they can given the cut-and-paste script and beautiful but
overly stylized settings, but "Snow White and the Huntsman" is still a
rotten apple.
Check out more reviews below:
THR:
"This is a film of moments, of arresting visuals, marked seriousness,
sometimes surprising imagination and with nothing on its mind, really,
except to provide the conventional reassurance of installing a rightful
royal on the throne. It's also a film in which you can't help but behold
and compare the contrasting beauty of two of the most
exceptional-looking women on the screen today, Stewart and Theron."
EW:
"It's also a world-class illustration of how, in the age of the global
blockbuster, the lust for demographics — for coralling the largest
possible audience — can determine aesthetics. The movie works so hard to
transform a quintessential girl story into a girl-and-guy story that
it's like three movies in one. Theron, knowingly over-the-top, acts in a
viciously charged and entertaining style,..By the end, she's supposed
to be playing Snow White as Joan of Arc meets Braveheart meets Katniss
Everdeen, and she's less than authentic on all fronts."
Salon:
"A lot of things go wrong in 'Snow White and the Huntsman,' so many
that it’s surprising the film feels as exhilarating and entertaining as
it finally does.
The problems start with the central premise and the
leading actress, but there are also the wobbly CGI effects, uncertain
character arcs and unresolved subplots, not to mention the regional
British Isles accents, which may be tough for American viewers to
follow,..
[Stewart] badly needs to get out of the business of playing
storybook virginal princess types,..this Snow White — who is sometimes
Bilbo Baggins (and sometimes his Ring), sometimes Luke Skywalker,
sometimes Joan of Arc and sometimes Henry V — calls for both broad
hambone instincts and a natural aristocratic bearing.
Stewart possesses
neither, looking and acting rather too much like a standoffish American
girl faking a posh accent."
Boston Globe:
"Charlize Theron gives a performance that fuses astonishing costumes
(from multi-Oscar winner Colleen Atwood), alarming special effects, and
overacting of a degree rarely seen these days. Theron can be an actress
of wit and even subtlety, but it’s hard to bring nuance to a role that
requires you to bellow 'YOU CANNOT DEFEAT ME!' a few scenes after
emerging from an oil slick covered in crows,..After a while, you just
sit back and let the thing wash over you, marveling and giggling as
necessary,..[Sanders] has talent, conviction, and a knack for the
arresting image; what he doesn’t have yet is any sense of how to craft a
seamless two-hour narrative."
Miami Herald:
"[Stewart] has a bum rap of being inexpressive and moribund as Bella in
the Twilight movies. But at least she’s physically suited for that
role. In Snow White and the Huntsman, this talented but woefully miscast
actress is expected to rally an entire army of soldiers, even though
she usually looks like she forgot the combination to her locker."
AV Club:
"The greatest innovation Snow White And The Huntsman brings to its
'dark retelling' of the Snow White fairy tale is suggesting that its
evil-queen antagonist (played by Charlize Theron) has a name, a past,
and a purpose. And its biggest letdown comes when it abandons that idea
entirely in order to turn her into yet another generic baddie,
an
impersonal wall of CGI special effects and grimaces for Snow White
(Kristen Stewart) to throw herself against,..Huntsman feints at being
the Snow White retelling no one has ever seen before, but ultimately
becomes the 'been there, done that' of fairy-tale filmmaking."
Seattle Times: "In any reasonable Snow-White-vs.-the-Evil-Queen
matchup,
Kristen Stewart wouldn't stand a chance against Charlize
Theron. I mean, really. There's Theron as the Queen, smiling in a way
that would put frost on tomatoes, standing there with her regal bearing
and fabulous feather-bedecked outfits and slightly contemptuous gaze
(conveying "I might kill you, but I might be too bored. Let me decide").
And then there's, well, Bella Swan in a corset. It's not a fair fight,
and I suspect the makers of 'Snow White and the Huntsman' know it, but
apparently you can't mess with the endings of fairy tales,..[It] left me
wishing that Queen Ravenna would head off on a motorcycle with Lisbeth
Salander and raise some hell — now that would be a movie.
ThePlaylist:
"When discussing how powerful males use women and then cast them aside
when they reach a certain age, [Ravenna] might as well be describing
Hollywood's hiring process,..[It] is often a visually gorgeous movie, at
times genuinely jaw-dropping, but the rest of the film is totally
drab,..It's a movie made for children that is often shockingly dark and
violent, but at the same time probably too frivolous for adults."
Slant:
"Much detail is lavished on the medieval setting, a
mud-and-shit-everywhere nightmare that could have easily been imagined
by the makers of Game of Thrones,..is it destiny that truly empowers the
girl or narrative convenience and expediency?...As feminist fantasy,
the film is non-committal, and as a reimagining of the fairy tale, it's
at best expensive-looking without seeming wantonly so."
Variety:
"Handsome but hollow,..The cast does what it can -- especially Theron,
whose frequent fits add 'drama' and 'raging' to her regal title -- but
can't overcome a degree of flatness to the middle section or lack of
consistent excitement at the end. Nor does Hemsworth's roguish charm
come across as effortlessly as it did in 'Thor'...The movie and its
villain share a common bond: Conjuring a touch of magic is one thing,
but sustaining great helpings of it is something else entirely."
