Just watched with my youngest, we liked it.

Good take on the story and loved the monsters :)

Plus, a bit of a scoop on all the British actors as the dwarfs!

very good film, soundtrack is canny too especially the very moving "Gone" when the Dwarves sing it for the dead one.

Sadly the biggest pile of pap I've ever sat through.

Not that bad, but I found it pretty boring (at least it was better than the dire 'Hunger Games' when it comes to tweeny action movies)
Is there a more lifeless actress than Kristen Steward working at the minute?

She is hit and miss with roles. She was really good as Joan Jett in the Runaways film, and she was good in Adventureland with Jesse Eisenberg and she did a horror a few years back called Something like Cold Creek Cottage and she was good in that. She seems to play a lot of flat, insipid characters like Bella in the Twilight things though. Sorontar is a lucky bloke if that is the biggest pile he has seen, I have seen LOTS of bigger pliles than that. While back since I saw it, but I thought that between the Director ( Not a bad effort as a first film) and the writers they seemed to have a pretty good inkling in the way myth and legend works and had managed to incorporate that in to the film. I'm going to watch it again, I think and Dredd too - fill my day up quite nicely that :)

Oh I've "seen" lots worse but normally I either walk out or turn off, this I didn't have the option but to sit through it :)

Any Twilight film springs to mind......worst crap I ever had to endure and Kirsten Steward is awful in everything - acting my arse. She is like a Roger Moore of versitility with only 1 expression and that's miserable. At Least Roger was fun.

I liked Snow White and the Huntsman because Snow wasn't a sterotypical girly princess, the Huntsman had iron, the look of it was fresh, it was a decent take on a classical tale. Warched it at the cinema with my kids, haven't bought in on DVD; it's not good enough to watch over and over again . . .

I read the books. I watched the first film then I stopped. Life is too short for such utter vacuous banal nonsense.

Really hoping the Twilight phase is over when I daughter is old enough to want to get into them! We are in the Pixar phase now :(

My 5 and 7 yr old are in that phase, my 10 yr old likes the idea of Twilight films 'cause her friends talk about them . . . unwavering parental authority being eroded by peer influence, boo! :p
