When the evil queen Ravenna (Charlize Theron) learns that her stepdaughter, Snow White (Stewart), has surpassed her as the fairest in the land and will eventually become ruler of the kingdom, she recruits a huntsman, Eric (Chris Hemsworth), to take Snow White into the woods and kill her. The Magic Mirror (Christopher Obi) has assured Ravenna that if she eats Snow White's heart, she will live and reign forever. But the Huntsman takes pity on the girl, and instead of killing her he takes her under his wing and begins to teach her the arts of war. With the help of the Huntsman, seven dwarves and her handsome young suitor, Prince William (Sam Claflin), Snow White sets out to vanquish the Evil Queen and put an end to her tyrannical rule.

Our review

"With more in common with Lord of The Rings than Mirror Mirror, this retelling of Snow White is a visually impressive grandiose action adventure. But the story is a little limp and Stewart and the dwarfs are underwritten."
