I must admit that my expectation for this film is very low. And KStew as Snow White doesn't exactly give me confidence. Her line delivery in the trailer feels flat and lifeless. At the very least, however, I'm hoping for some good visual FX scenes.

Looks so heavy handed. I hope it's at least a little fun.

Honestly, I'm surprised we haven't seen more ultra-serious takes on classic stories in the wake of TDK's success.

I'm thinking this will be worth seeing just for the visuals, which kind of remind me of del Toro's overall style. Very cool stuff.

Shouldn't Snow White actually be fairer than the Queen for the concept to work?

Also, Snow White in armor is hilarious.

She has to be the fairest one of all, which means the rest of the kingdom either has no women, or they are all somehow terribly ugly.

No, I mean shouldn't the actress playing Snow White be more beautiful than the actress playing the Queen?

Or, as the trailer suggests, she finds them and steals their beauty by sucking it out of them.

based on the twilight films or stuff like runaways and panic room? or everything?

I like her, or I THINK I like her, if I ever watch this film, I'll pay close attention to her acting, I do believe she has something. When she gives interviews she has this johnny depp weirdness that should translate into good acting but she hasn't done much so far so I give her the benefit of the doubt,.

I kind of understand the hate. She is known for bella in twilight.

In the first film, I think she gave a good redention of a puzzled teenager who didn't know what was going on with her vampire boyfriend. After that, it all went downhill and she potrayed a brainless annoying chic with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

this could have been exacerbated by two things: her Character, Bella, was supposed to be "so much in pain" that she was unable to show any emotion and or cry, I once read that in the sequels Bella was supposed to be in "the pain after the pain", thus being like dead, just there and that is what she turned into, a sack of potatoes would have shown more expression than her in the twilight films and I think this was coupled with the fact that she thought the whole twilightmania was pretty stupid, we got those awful performances from her.

that being said, I really like Kristen stewart's person(a), often I feel like she is about to scream " wake up people!, this twilight poop stinks! go watch something else! " hehehe.

Her interviews with dakota fanning promoting runaways are very funny and both girls are very likable, and smart girls, you can tell, nothing like twilight.

The performance of an actor or actress can differ so much depending on the director, that's why I haven't written off certain actors as being terrible just yet.

Kristen Stewart is known mainly for the Twilight movies (which have recieved negative to mixed reviews), to judge her acting capacity purely on those films would be unfair.

I still can't believe they want to convince the audience that Kristin Stewart is "fairer" than Charlize Theron. And I'm not even hating on her (I don't care about Twilight), it's just... Charlize is the prettier one (although older) no matter what :/ Kristin looks like an average girl.

The movie itself looks interesting. I love the art direction they are going with.
It's kind of weird being hyped for a "Snow White" movie :lol.

maybe it makes sense according to the development of the story?

I mean, Charlize's character seems to have stolen the beauty of many beautiful maidens, making her the ultimate expression of femenine beauty. That in contrast to Kristen's role, who probably portrays a younger, rather naive girl that will turn into a gorgeous women later on, triggering the queen's urgence to seize her while she is still young(er)..

that's what I am thinking, at least.

Oh my god at the "Snow White isn't the fairest LOL" nonsense. First, get over it, seriously. Second, the trailers even say that Snow White isn't the fairest at the point of the movie, but will become fairest. So they aren't even directly comparing Stewart and Theron at that point in the story.

My opinion of her is definitely tainted by the Twilight series, I admit. She was just so awful.

I have not seen Runaways, but I saw Adventureland and I wasn't impressed at all, but that could be because of the Twilight taint.

I will probably see this movie and will try and keep an open mind.
