I thought the trailer was iffy, but Thor and Charlize are more than enough reason to see this in theatre.

The first trailer wasn't OMG but the last couple have looked pretty awesome.

I saw it last night. It's good, but not great. It reminded me of Legend more than a Snow White meets Lord of the Rings type movie. Like Legend it has a great villain, great visuals, but story wise there is not much there and the heroes are a bit bland, especially Kristen Stewart and her Bellaisums. The Dwarfs were good and brought some humor to the film, but they were so underused, especially when they had great actors like Ian McShane, Toby Jones, Bob Hoskins, and Ray Winstone playing them.

And next year, Snow White and the Seven from Disney.

Really? Is there a sudden snow white craze going around.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

Any more reviews?

And next year, Snow White and the Seven from Disney.

That got cancelled last week.

Disney has put Order of the Seven, its planned Asia-set adventure movie, on hold indefinitely.

Saoirse Ronan was set to star and Michael Gracey was to make his directorial debut on the project, which has been in development at the studio for more than a decade and was, according to several sources, hoping to start production as soon as this summer in London.

The project, which began life as a Snow White retelling, was in the midst of finding an international cast to play a band of warriors tasked with protecting a young woman. And even as late as last week, the studio hired Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby (Iron Man) to polish the script.

But now sources at Disney say that all development work is being stopped. That's an abrupt about-face, even though the project was not officially greenlighted and the studio had not set a release date. Seven was in preproduction and expected to go before the cameras this year.

Sources say that in the aftermath of the mega-budgeted John Carter failing at the box office in March, Disney has been scrutinizing budgets on its tentpole movies. The budget on Seven, while undisclosed, was high enough to give the studio pause. Having a first-time director involved contributed to the unease.

Also adding to the uncertainty is the lack of a studio head. Rich Ross, who was overseeing development of Seven, resigned as studio chief in April after Disney announced it would suffer a $200 million write-down on John Carter. Disney CEO Bob Iger has not named a replacement for Ross.

Order of the Seven initially was set up by producer Andrew Gunn as a live-action kung fu take on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs but later evolved into a fantasy-action adventure tale. The story centered on a young woman in 19th century Hong Kong who escapes her wicked stepmother and takes refuge with seven men belonging to an ancient order dedicated to fighting demons and dragons.

This isn’t the first time Disney has put the brakes on a project over budget concerns. Last year the studio reined in the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced The Lone Ranger, only to give it the greenlight once the cost of the adventure pic starring Johnny Depp was trimmed.

In fact, budgets are being scrutinized all over Hollywood. Earlier this year, Warner Bros. put its medieval adventure Arthur & Lancelot on hold, resurrected it and then put it on hold again. Universal last year shelved its anticipated adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, even with the involvement of Ron Howard. A ballooning budget was cited as the reason.

... bit bland, especially Kristen Stewart and her Bellaisums.

I dig her understated style; still excited for this one based on that kick ass trailer....thanks for your thoughts

Just getting back from a midnight screening.

Spoiler

Personally, I thought this movie was pretty cool.Movie to me had a good flow to it and I was impressed with how this one played out. Its a bit familiar but different take on the Snow White story but it works. Graphically its really great very impressive. Stewart did fairly decent for the most part but her speech towards the end didn't inspire me but other than that I thought she did ok. Theron as the queen was great and she plays a damn good evil queen I must say. Hemsworth is just plain and simple one bad ass dude. I want to see more action movies with this dude in it because he kicks ass. The dwarves are awesome and provide the right amount of comic relief to keep things loose.

I read they're already talking about a sequel and I'd be down for seeing that.

My wife asked me to take her to see this. We're going to a morning show after we take the kids to school.

Saw this and liked it; I I had a complaint its that I would have liked the

Evil witch's side of the story fleshed out more. Her role consisted of screaming at the camera, crying, screaming some more.....I could have used a more intense driving force for her to stay and fight for the power that she had, other than just wanting to remain Hawt

I know everyone will roll their eyes, but thought Kristen Stewart did a great job. Not for a second did I buy her as a soldier in the end, but really, she's not supposed to be

They do give you her back story. She's does it to get revenge on kings for what happened to her and her village as a child.

I could have used even more Huntsman. He kind of floated in and out of the story at times and did more standing around than I expected. I don't think she said a word to him for the rest of the movie after she woke from the spell.
