Oh, it's not really 'hate' towards this movie

, I think, it's just (imho) that many didn't get what we expected. What I really disliked was the total lack of acting talent and the eternal one-face-expression on Stewart's part, I thought Charlize looked stunning but her performance was as if she's trying far too hard to be that bad stepmother (her yelling was really over the top, more suitable for theatre and someone sitting in the 34th row) - she never convinced me in this role. The nameless Huntsman also looked absolutely stunning, but the minute he started talking, I wanted to press mute. The only good thing about the movie for me was the visuals and I enjoyed the dwarves, nice cast. But the nice looking visuals are not enough for me to say the movie was great or even good.
Most movies I see today are well made in technical terms, but they are so appaling in terms of script-writing and often even in acting/directing. So, I don't hate the movie, I will buy it because it's fantasy (love that) and technically perfectly ok (even dark-ish, which I also love very much), but (for me) it's far from being something enjoyable on all cinematic levels.
Oh and yes - the FS steelie is a stunner!! Definitely a must-buy!
