Every Charlize Theron Movie Ranked Worst To Best
By Robert King
Much like with two "Addams Family" movies, 2012's "Snow White and the Huntsman" performed better than its sequel. The first film, directed by Rupert Sanders, introduces Theron's character, Queen Ravenna, who has become the queen by marrying the king, just to immediately kill him and take power. In order for Ravenna to become immortal and keep her beauty forever, she must eat the heart of her stepdaughter, Snow White (Kristen Stewart). When Snow White escapes, Ravenna sends a huntsman named Eric (Chris Hemsworth) to find Snow White and bring her back — only for Eric to eventually join forces with Snow White in an effort to defeat Ravenna forever.
Ultimately, the reception for "Snow White and the Huntsman" was mixed. While some critics found it to be a compelling, darker version of the well known tale, others found the plot lacking and the film as a whole unnecessary. One critic in favor of the film, David Elliott of the San Diego Reader, wrote, "Strong effects, good design, and an exciting use of nature help to empower Stewart and Theron, who inject a rich, double dose of feminism."
At the very least, most can agree that Theron excels at playing the cold and commanding queen.
