I'm not always the best judge of what makes a sueific adaptation but considering how Kristen Stewart's Snow White had NO CHARISMA WHATSOEVER and still managed to win almost everyone she needed to win over to her side.

Seriously I tried to like this movie. The CG was awesome and I kinda liked the portrayal of the evil queen but...Snow White herself has no discernible character, psychological and/or emotional motivation behind her actions. The whole "She represents life and she's part of some sort of prophecy to overthrow the evil queen and save the kingdom" felt really underwhelming and droll because she's such a one-dimensional character.

This isn't even taking into consideration the fact that the best asset Snow White is supposed to have is her physical beauty. That's her greatest weapon against the queen and the driving force behind this whole "prophecy" shtick from the get-go.

My Sue alarms were ringing big time during this film.
