Swoon. Much as we love Chris Hemsworth, who plays Kristen's huntsman/trainer, he can't beat Armie Hammer. He just looks like a medieval prince.
This is an element of the original fairytale that Grimm kept and Huntsman ditched: The seven little men who take in Snow. But there is a new twist to the story...
While Snow probably still helps out the dwarfs with housework and overall giving a feminine touch to their abode, they also train her in swordfighting and other skills so she can eventually reclaim the throne. (That's an interesting choice for workout clothes, but it looks great on Lily.)
This is a toss-up; we don't know if we're more excited for Julia Roberts or Charlize Theron. Julia looks like she's having a lot of fun on her lavish throne; you don't always see her play bitchy, but this could be her chance. We're hoping that she puts some bite into her words a la Susan Sarandon's queen in Enchanted, and doesn't just turn out to be another defanged villain.

You'll see that there's a bird motif going on in the costumes here, from Julia's vain peacock...
Before you see the other bird-inspired look, here's a sense of how grand the Evil Queen's outfit is.
...to the swan that Snow wears as part of her disguise when she infiltrates the ball and meets Armie's prince. Swans get used in fairytale movies a lot thanks to another old-time story, "The Ugly Duckling."
The snowy look reminds us of Red Riding Hood--something about the forest during winter is so romantic. You wouldn't imagine an adventure like this taking place in the summer.
Then again, it would also be stupid to have a movie about Snow White with no snow.
They've really done a great job of making Lily not look the same as in Abduction.
Here's Nathan Lane as the Evil Queen's head servant--another casting decision that makes us worry about the movie being marketed more toward children.
It seems the writers fit in a throwback to another famous fairytale.
Like I said, the costumes here resemble pieces from Candyland, which might mean the movie is leaning toward bold stuff that kids will like. But as long as the characters are two-dimensional, then we'll probably enjoy it just as much.
