Snow White By James Lumpkin

 

James Lumpkin

Remakes of classic movies are common today maybe even more than they should, Snow White and The Huntsman is  a welcomed remake that puts a new spin on the classic Disney movie. This movie, like many other remakes of classic childhood movies, it has a much darker tone than the original. Kristen Stewart does a good job of portraying Snow White however, the character seems to lack some of the original Snow White’s most notable traits. Chris Hemsworth does a great job of inbodying the feeling of a dark hero, one that is full of guilt and sorrow and really conveys the pain that the character feels. Charlize Theron portrays the infamous Evil Queen Ravenna, she sets a much darker tone than most of her other films and almost makes you feel sorry for the character. This is where the similarities to the original pretty much end, there are a few elements that pop up once and awhile. Some characters are sadly missed such as the character Dopey. This is not your typical remake film that destroys the original. Over all, this is a great spin on a classic, in many ways it gives more depth to all the characters and gives new life to the original.
