I, too, have seen Snow White and the Huntsman.

I did not hate it--I definitely didn't hate it to the extent that some people are hating it.

At the same time, I did not love it enough to be happy seeing it a second or third time. Which is annoying, because I really liked a couple of characters and found others compelling, and I'd like to see them again.

I feel like this movie suffers from two big problems. Neither of these are the acting. The performances ran a gamut from trying (our dear William) through to genuinely good (the Huntsman and the Queen, with Snow White running close behind mostly due to a dearth of lines).

( cut for mild to moderate spoilers as to my frustrations and difficulties re: this movie )

. . I may still wind up with a couple new characters from this. I'm hoping just the Deaths version coalesces. Throwing anything more into Witches' Horses needs a whole new story*, not just a gentleman soldier who likes axes and his Jewish wife.

*: Well, really. Where the hell would I fit a succession war led by a boyar's daughter and a guy who had a bad war into the current list of Witches' Horses stories? =P
