Snow White & the Hunstmen

We watched 'Snow White & the Huntsmen' in Bandung Indonesia. In many ways, this was a value-for-money film. Firstly, it costed only Rp 25,000 (SGD 3.50) - it's even cheaper than Johor Bahru's movie ticket price of MYR 14 (SGD 5.80). It's one-third the price of a movie ticket in Singapore, which means we can watch 3 movies in Indonesia for the price of 1.
Secondly, both the cineplex and its surrounding facilites are superb. The theatre was clean; seats were comfortable; the sound system was just right. The movie started rather on-time though, with little/no time allocated for advertisements. The cineplex was loated in Cihampelas Walk - a upbeat, modern four-storeyed shopping complex that allowed movie-goers to shop and eat.

Thirdly, the movie was worthy of being called a blockbuster. My favourite character was Queen Ravenna. With Charlize Theron acting in the role, she was able to act out the devious and yet calm character whilst showcasing her beauty. The movie was well-paced. The story built up into a climax where Snow White took command of the Duke's army and promised to defeat Ravenna by leading them into war. Through the Dwarves' assistance in opening the gates, the Duke's army managed to invade the Castle. Yet another showdown ensued - with a confrontation between Snow White and Queen Ravenna.
