Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)

There are many ways for a movie to disappoint - a bad ending is the one that bugs me the most.  This movie, however, plays another game. This one hooked me and gave me a good 20 minutes, maybe even 30.  Since I often watch movies in 20 minute increments, I was really excited to turn this back on - but then the movie went to HELL. By the time Snow White and the Huntsman meet the seven dwarfs, things are on a downward slide. But when they get to fairy land, the wheels come off the cart. 

Fairy Land is bizarre, like Walt Disney on acid.  The fairies themselves look like a cross between Gollum and little white maggots. It was appallingly bad and those scenes should have hit the cutting room floor.

But the ending was OK. Charlize Theron was awesome and freaky, Chris Hemsworth is hot and pretty damn good. Kristen Stewart holds her own. I wasn't expecting much from her, so I was pleasantly surprised.

I would call this a mediocre rental.
