This awful movie tried to pack too much into it. A Harry-potter-style "Dark Wood" then a Disney-style "Refuge" (was that the word?) with tweeting bluebirds. Magic abounds, but is easily defeated. On top of all this we have a medieval-style battle! Enough! Enough! Oh, and a poison apple--cured with a kiss, yet. Is this "Sleeping Beauty?" YES! Mirror Mirror was a hundred times better and funny to boot--as it was intended to be. I don't know what this was intendedd to be.
What a terrible rendition of the tale. The frolicking in the woods scenes are reminscent of a live action Fern Gully, and the "meet the White Stag" sequence had people shouting "It's Aslan!" in the theater. Kristen Stewart cannot pull of a sword wielding hero, and her "let's go get em" speech was flat and completely unconvincing. The writing is trite as well. Avoid this at all costs, unless you simply want to have fun at the movie's expense.
