Critics Consensus

While it offers an appropriately dark take on the fairy tale that inspired it, Snow White and the Huntsman is undone by uneven acting, problematic pacing, and a confused script.

Shubhra Gupta

The Indian Express

What you take away from this dark film, filled with several twisted characters and twisty turns, is a great deal of nicely-crafted atmosphere, and a terrific performance from Charlize Theron as the evil stepmother.

Rated: 2.5/5

Rupert Sanders' vision of enchantment is a Thomas Kinkade painting brought to life.

Reel Talk Online

Not a perfect movie by any stretch of the imagination, Snow White and the Huntsman can boast truly magnificent performances--minus Stewart, of course--an interesting take on a beloved tale, and gorgeous scenes. Too bad about some of that plot though.

Rated: C+

Deep Focus Review

This is a gorgeous production, but it’s also a romantically dormant one whose characters and their fixed motivations never make a connection.

Rated: 2.5/4

In the end, Snow White and the Huntsman proves that style can never triumph over material.

Gone With The Twins

For a movie that so desperately wishes to be Tolkienesque, it's a questionable choice to burden it with both the Snow White moniker and Kristen Stewart.

Rated: 3/10

Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth make this worth watching. However Kristin Stewart was a poor choice for supposedly the fairest most beautiful princess of them all. I feel they missed on casting Snow White correctly.

Filme: Branca das Neves e o Caçador Assistido: 27-10-24 Elenco: @kristenstewartofficeal @charlizeafrica @chrishemworth @mrsamclaflin @friedgold @eddiemmarsan Modelo: #fantasia #ação #drama Duração: 2h 7m Ano: 2012 Minha opinião: Neste de 2024 temos a grande controvérsia a respeito do lançamento do filme Branca das Neves da Disney onde até o 7 anões são produzindo em CGI. Além de tretas entre as protagonistas e outros. E a expectativa no lançamento do filme esta totalmente negativa. Mas nesta obra com Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron e Kristen Stewart um constelação de atores, além de ter Sam Claflin. Esta obra ela segue mais a estória de Branca das neves, porém em um estilo “Dark” mais obscuro e por isso não sendo para o publico infantil. Com boas interpretações dos atores, mas sempre com o estilo dark. Com uma atuação majestosa de Charlie como a rainha má. Um filme que trás os 7 anões com atores conhecidos como Iam Mcshane, Bob Hoskins, Eddie Marsan,... e trás também a parte da fantasia com os animais, fadinhas,.... Sobe dosar a parte sombria e fantasia. E da mesma forma que tras Charlize como má e consegue passar também que kristen é a princesa da Luz, esperança. E elogios para Hemsworth faz o papel de Caçador, que o persona é alcoolatra pelo fato da perda da esposa e interpreta bem o papel. A maior incógnita é com quem a Branca da Neve ficou no filme? O Caçador ou o príncipe? Roteiro e enredo foi interessante com esta proposta de um filme sombrio, mas bem elaborado. Vale apena assistir? Sim, porem não é para o publico infantil. Nota: 8,5

Ok wait? There’s just a horse sitting about waiting for her? Oh no, right… she’s magic due to her purity and beauty? So hold on, she rides in to battle even though she’s been locked in a tower her whole life and has no experience with a sword? So of course, though she’s wearing full armour, she doesn’t need a helmet? That pretty much sums up what the whole film is like. Though, it does add a clever change or two. Good effects. Evil step mum has incredible costumes. Easy watch for a bored Tuesday night. I’ve seen worse.

Interesting take on a classic. I watched it again after listening to a podcast from Kirsten and what she wanted to get out of the character.
