It’s been said that Inception has been written off by the studios as a one-off Nolan success, and they decidedly won’t be making creative decision based on the response. They’re damn sure reappropriating its marketing though, as evidence by this epic fantasy film doing its damnedest to look like a reality-bending fantasy film while employing one of the most shameless rip-offs of Zimmer’s score I’ve yet heard. That’s not to say it’s not effective… the film looks much more visually interesting and dynamic than I expected, and Theron seems to be having fun. The battle sequences looks fairly slick, the mirror dude is cool, there’s a big awesome monster in there and few other bits caught my eye as well, though that screaming crow at the beginning forced me to restart the trailer I was chuckling so much.
The casting is admittedly pretty good for the film, and as far as a gritty, blockbuster fantasy films go… it doesn’t have the murky smear of terrible CGI or infuriatingly precious layer of quirk over top it like Alice In Wonderland, the film that clearly got this fairy tale train rolling at the studios. It’s clearly self-serious, but I’m not dreading this one. Maybe the battle between it and Tarsem’s version isn’t quite so cut and dry.
Are you surprised to be impressed, or does it look as lame as you might have expected?

apple has the trailer. http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/universal/snowwhiteandthehuntsman/
The entire time I was waiting for the BRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Looks better than the other Snow White movie, and it looks better than the human-rights violation that Tim Burton committed against us, but not even the presence of Al Swearengen as a friendly dwarf nor Thor and Charlize Theron are going to be able to withstand Lobotomy Girl’s purple haze.
It’s been a while since I got to root for Charlize Theron in a theater.
She’s the good guy in this, right?
anybody read the black company series? no? queen reads as Soulcatcher all day (unless she doesnt change her voice every sentence..)
anyway, looks good even with the emotionally, physically and mentally stunted ms. white (destined to be fairer?).. feels like the prince will be a douchebag, force her into marriage via queen meddlings or despite, who cares, and Thor flexes his way in to save the day.. waiting for the dwarves trailer.
I’m going for that monster. That thing looks straight outta Hellboy.
It most definitly looks better than I had thought; it would be interesting to see what the other Snow White trailer will look like; Julia Roberts clothes looks pretty, but will that suffice?
