A too ambitious retelling of the familiar tale, Snow White and the Huntsman is at least some fun when playing into its fantasy elements, like a brief scene where the duo fend off a troll. Otherwise, iconic elements like the poisoned apple become mere blips to make room for countless throwaway sequences. Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth have no discernible chemistry, leaving all of the heavy lifting for a very over-the-top Charlize Theron. Dour though it may be, the costumes and visual effects offer at least some intrigue. But no one should be asking for a sequel.
