snow white & the huntsman (2012)

i catch it on the flight movie offerings. here's my rotten tomatoes take on it:
  • the mix of accents absolutely defies logic. irish brogue goes poorly with rounded american vowels. ugh.
  • the mix of styles is irritating. only modern anne-hathaway types of princesses say i'm sorry. i'm not sure what the others say but i'll betcha they aren't so plebeian.
  • i'm not sure what snow white should look like but after a lifetime of disney consumption i'm pretty sure they don't look like the twilight girl.
  • hey whose kiss is magic? are you saying it's the older damaged man trumping innocent faithfulness? puh-leeze this is a fairy tale.
  • charlize theron is waaaaay more classy looking than kirsten stewart.
addendum: also, any screenwriter who inserts the Lord's prayer into an imprisoned fairy-tale princess' bedtime routine clearly has his genres mixed up, not to mention a (painfully) obviously romanticized understanding of what he is quoting.
