Snow White and the Huntsman is a new take on the classic fairy tale which features an expanded role for the Huntsman. In the fairy tale, he is ordered to take Snow White into the woods and kill her, but instead lets her go. In the new take, the Huntsman is not a love interest but acts more as a mentor, teaching Snow White to fight and survive. (Universal Pictures)

A lot of the imagery was too reminiscent of other films like the Stag from Princess Mononoke but it was well done although it didn't hold my attention fully because it was always obvious what was going to happen especially towards the end.
